I love watching how Car Care Nut has evolved in his videos. He was a bit stiff and nervous in the beginning as he is seen here. Later he becomes an absolute pro in front of the camera.
I also have a 2012 Le model and I have close to 200k on it. I got it in 2013 with just about 30k something miles as well. The car is very reliable. It hasn't giving me any stress other than the regular maintenance required.
I just have to add this. Yesterday my son and I went to purchase a used 2014 Camry LE. After a long test ride, putting it up on the lift to inspect the underneath, pulling out the spare tire and jack the very last thing we did was try to pair the phone with the radio. Guess what, the radio wouldn't pair, there was an issue with the touchscreen! I asked the salesman to get us a price on a new radio. $1000 installed OUCH!!! In our negotiation the dealer will install a new radio at no charge for us! All that to say without watching this video and remembering to try to pair the phone, we would have been out $1000. So again a VERY BIG THANK YOU!!! You helped save us $1000. Blessings to you!
Screw the radio dude the f****** mode is a piece of s*** it's raining is a piece of s*** the car is big enough to be a taxi cab that's why it's so f****** cheap up here in New York those cost the coral of the f****** Sky High they're better cause than noisy Motors in the parolis but they are better in a way the Camry always sucked and those years sucked from 2000 and two all the way to cart they suck motorcycle first not a tranny suck so why even bother buying the piece of s*** it's a taxi cab and that's it you worry about a radio with your blue teeth but it start brushing your teeth when it turns green with your transmission goes I had every Toyota since 1977 till 22 buy a Tacoma make sure the frame is okay first generation by a Corolla they may use it some oil for the leaf state the motor will last you and the training oh yes they do burn oil though I drive a 91 Patrol doesn't burn nothing best year ever made Corolla learn something for me not the idiots I'll trade that s*** in hope you didn't pay any more than 5,000 for it it's not even worth that
Blessings to you as well. Thanks for the information. Bought my 2012 4cyl Camry in 2017 with 80k miles and now has 150k miles. Its been really great. Did transmission fluid change at 100k at dealer. Oil changes every 5000 miles. Recently changed battery and original alternator and the brakes. Did a 1600 mile trip and averaged 39 per gal hwy. Been blessed with no fluid or exhaust leaks. Only issue is the driver door lock actuator, which will be $500 to replace. No rush to replace can lock with key. Thanks again for info.
Was is a fully trans fluid change? Or u had to come back to the dealership more than once to keep changing the fluid since there’s still old fluid stuck in some parts of the car?
@@mark.namoco Just once. I'm almost at 175k now. Going to have trans fluid change again after putting another 75k. Car doesn't leak anything at all nor burn oil.
I want to replace my 2004 Dodge Stratus for something affordable but as reliable as possible and the 2012-2014 Camry has been my best option so far, so watching your video has been really helpful because I wouldn't have imagined it could have so many issues. Thank you so much!
All my family drives and owns a toyota. My wife had her 2012 camry se for awhile and theres no problem other than water pump. I changed that already. I own a 2016 tacoma 4x4 sr5 and i daily it. No problem its all how you drive and maintaining it.
@srthellcat707 TOTALLY AGREE! THE 2020-21 LOOKS EVEN WORSE. LIKE THEY ARE COMPETING WITH THE NEW ACCORD. THE "BOXEY, MODEST COMMUTER" LOOK IS GONE. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE 1999-2001 CAMRY WHEN IT CAME OUT. MY NEXT DOOR NIEGHBOR HAD A 2015 AND HARD AS I TRIED I COULD NOT GET MYSELF TO LIKE IT. CHEERS!
Just bought a 2014 Camry from a Toyota dealer, didn't notice shudder until i got home. A very firm conversation with the dealer and they covered the TC recall. runs fine now, despite the window for the recall closing a few weeks ago they still honored it.
I own a 2013 Camry. Thank you for the tips. I have 108,000km on it and will be getting the transmission fluid changed at the dealership within the next 6 months.
4 cylinder 15% oil leaks , 12% coolant leaks, 10% transmission jerking, all very little, minor things, 8% door locks switch malfunction, Just saved you 11 minutes in about 30 seconds, thanks great videos
This video guided me to buy a 7 year old camry 8 months back, and the same went to his servce center for oil change last week, got positive feedback of the car from this expert. Thank you for your service, may God bless you and keep you blessings to many...
I recently bought a 2012 Camry se v6 with 47,000 miles on it. It’s been garage kept by an old lady for its whole life before I bought it (1 owner). Thank you so much for this video, I’ll be sure to keep all that information in mind! 😊
Sir I'd just like to say that because of you I am a Camry lover now. Purchased my first (Used) 2010 Camry in 2022 and began my MOD journey. I sold it last week and purchased a 2014 2.5V with 42,000 original kilometers, Mod plans that will happen over the next 6 months. My mechanic checked the car over with the computer and found Zero issues at all, It even had the original tires on it (First purchase were New tires) I look forward to my mod journey on my new baby. Thank you for all you do sir.
Thanks! You made me aware of the tc shudder. I had no idea. I thought maybe it was cv joints or something. I called my dealer and at first they checked and said we are showing no warranties left on your car. Then I did some more research and called back and said it’s called the warranty enhancement program ZE5. They found it and I qualify!! (2013 with 115K). My appointment is next Thursday! Thanks again, and I wish you much success in your endeavors!
THAT my friends is how you get what you're owed! I did the same thing the dealership was like where did you get this TSB? This is something they usually just send us as a courtesy.. yeah OK.. I had to call the NHSTA for this information on extended recalls.
I’ve owned a 2012 Camry LE for 5 years and traveled throughout California, Nevada and Arizona. Although she may be a plain Jane in the looks department, I’ve had absolutely ZERO problems. She’s been rock-solid. And yes, it’s a she haha
Have had my 2013 Camry hybrid xle and have had zero issues. I replaced the hybrid battery at 210k miles. So much respect to Toyota for their commitment to quality and longevity
After 100k anything is aceptable, however mi ‘13 Camry XLE , doesn’t have any problems, no leaks, no weird noise , no transmission problems, of course, I take care properly of my car , transmission serviced by myself every 30k, synthetic oil change every 5k, ANYWAY I REALLY APPRECIATE THOSE “warnings” IN ADVANCE !!
The Lord bless you my friend...a few months back i bought '12 Camry 4cyl le when 31k miles, owned by older woman very well taken care off. You're video is very informative thanks!
My 2014 had the transmission shudder but I got the transmission fluid changed just under 50k and resolved the issue. Also, there is a service campaign out for the transmission shudder which covers it in case I have issues down the road. I currently have 81k on it and haven’t experienced the issue again. It’s a solid car and excellent in the snow due to narrower tires and weight distribution.
We are so grateful to you for telling us about this car. We will check all of your recommendations before we buy this car. I'm sure you've saved many of us from costly repairs.
We have one and it’s a beautiful car. Just be careful with it. A few very tiny rust spots I am working on. You are right about the chips and things. So you can buy proper factory colour coded paint and apply minimally. It gets cleaned regularly and monthly home service things ( not mechanic things- better to pay for that!) We run the car on the highest octane gas - it’s a bit expensive but it drives so sweetly. The reviews I read criticise the steering, but honestly, the steering is fantastic. Most of all drive smoothly and don’t stress the engine and brakes. The emergency brakes are excellent and the seat belt thing locks properly. Seats are comfortable. Everything easy to clean. A nice step up from previous model ( I used to own 6cyl model) in certain areas. Paid a bit extra but over the life of car, good value. It’s a good size for the family. No need for suv! People criticise its looks but when you take care of them, I think they look really nice ( most cars do). Bought second hand last year (2020) 105,000 kms ( 65,000 miles) @ about $US $8000- bottom the range altise. Made in Australia! Thank you brother. Peace and best wishes.
Thank tou for another well produced video/ There are a lot of good looking 2012 Camrys out there. Your video helps us verify which ones we should buy. Thanks again for exposing the problems and advising how we should care for this car.
I have a 2013 Camry XLE V6. Got 111,000 miles on it so far, so obviously haven't had any issues yet. Bought it with 78k on it a couple years ago. Great car, comfortable and plenty of power. Changing the tranny fluid tomorrow. Slightly late at 111k, but better than listening to Toyota's claim that it's a "lifetime fluid".
i fell for that 'lifetime fluid' until i got educated. ask toyota what they consider is the lifetime of a transmission in miles. they will give you a definitive number; usually the limit of their warranty. so, their definition of lifetime differs greatly with my definition and most likely yours as well.
I own a 2014 Camry SE, and received a TSB (transmission shudders when reaching the speed of 50 mph) and had the torque converter replaced at my local dealership. This video is very helpful to keep an eye on trouble spots! Thank you!
The dealer fixed it for free. They replaced the torque converter and calibrated the computer. Here is the link to get your car fixed under the enhanced warranty: www.tsbsearch.com/Toyota/POL14-10
Replacing the torque converter is a temporary fix, the root problem is poor transmission design. If I was you, I would sell your Camry yesterday, if not sooner.
Just turned 119k on my 14 SE Sport. Not a single problem so far. I do keep up with all maintenance. Was at the dealer getting its 120k check-up, and the sales guy tried to get me to buy a new one. I said no way. I expect many more years from it
For anyone wondering about the transmission shudder, Toyota will cover torque converter replacement for free as long as it has not been 8 years from the date of first use, or 150,000 miles whichever comes first.
I'm sorry that's not true with the transmission I've got a 2012 Toyota Camry XLE took it to mobley and they're telling me that they cannot do anything because it expired in 2020 well I'm sorry but in 2020 everything was shut down due to covid-19. They still will not honor it they're telling me that they can't do anything about it I have went to the corporate office they're telling me the same thing they didn't my shift gear nobody has not called me back on that so as far as they're telling you that they will fix it that is not true
@@patporter1499 a Toyota dealership in Florida replaced mine in October 2020. The warranty still had another 10 months/35,000 miles left since the car was first driven off in August 2013. Off the bat, I explained word for word the issue I was facing verbatim straight from the TSB. After the diagnosis a few hours later, they were willing to replace the TC and reprogram. Car has not given me once single issue since then.
@@prandomable That's good to hear. I take meticulous care of my cars and learning about this issue after leasing a 13 2 weeks ago made me sick. If I change the trans fluid every 30k or so, think that'll keep the issue from happening? Good to hear a lotta people are not having this issue with their higher mileage stuff.
I got a 2012 Toyota Camry XLE with a little less than 30,000 Miles away few days ago. I love it!!!!!! I have to fix my navigation system though, it keeps saying I'm somewhere in the U.S that I'm not. I'm thinking about taking it to the dealership or a mechanic.
Thanks for all the tips and advice, i have a 2014 camry se bought new took your advice and replace the transmission fluid at 64000 mls. no other issues so far.
Great video, thank you so much! I'm about to go look at a 2012 Camry for my daughter to drive. With this information and some other I got, I feel I am armed with enough information to know if I am buying the right car.
I've got a 2.4cl SE 2012 It works great. So far no issues for the last 8 years. Other the usual wear and tear ( Battery change every 5 years, a rear light bulb blow, oil changes and minor scratches on the body work) it's a durable dad mobile! >>>>> I met a cabby with a similar model and his has 800K miles on his, from his words he said the only thing he does on his is the usual maintaining at the dealership.
It's so awesome to find this video; it is great!! I'm new to Toyota, by way of a low-mileage 2014.5 Camry SE and I'm looking forward to owning and driving this car for a long time! Thank you for your knowledge and honesty, it is much appreciated. May God continue to bless you and yours...🙏🏽❤
He is right .i have camry 2012 Have all the symtoms almost he said Noisy tensioner pulley Cold start clatter in 4cylndr engine Whining noise sometimes Body Paint chipping issue Electrical issue like Radio not playing from last stopped song instead it goes back to first file every time. Transmission / torque converter stuttering after warmed up and cruising aroung 40-60 km hour and leave gas it will stutter little bit
Two issues worth noting with this model. The standard radio (not JBL) has a common issue with the screen not responding to touch around the edges. Mine is bad at the bottom and right side. Car has 37,000 miles on it now, so not like the radio has had a lot of use. Other issue of Camry's of this date range is that they got a poor rating by IIHS for small overlap test in 2012-2014 ('14 ones produced in 2013). The 2014.5 model had structural changes making that version IIHS rated "acceptable," so look for a "2014.5" on the B pillar..
Both are true. Though the screen edge issue was not as common on the earlier models and a lot more common on other Toyota radios but I’ve seen a few on this generation Camry. The safety rating is a subject I didn’t touch on because that’s not mechanical and that’s something for the perspective buyer to research on the car itself new or used. you are 100% right on the safety rating
i bought a 2014.5 camry from carmax and it had the screen issue you mentioned. a hack i used to play around there is to use the magnetic part of your Bank card. Cheers
I have a 2012. I bought it with 420 miles on it and now it has 250k. Mechanical issues. Just 1. Alternator failed at 215k. Changed it in 10 minutes. Went ahead and put a new belt on as well. Fixing to change the left driver cv axle and PCV valve next week.
Hey AMD. Great video. Of course I wish I had seen this sooner but I am still glad that I saw it. I bought my Toyota Camry SE brand new in May of 2013. I never had any issues with the torque converter. I received the recall notice from Toyota in 2014 to bring in it for the torque converter shudder issue. Then it had about 20k miles on it. I had the recall done, no issues afterwards. In 2017 at 53k miles I had the the transmission fluid flushed (by my independent mechanic who is pretty good). He used aftermarket synthetic fluid for the flush. Again, no issues afterwards. Late last year ( in 2020) I started noticing that when I would coast between 40-45 miles an hour I would feel a sudden shudder then it would stop, then it would do it again. Living in NY I’ve hit allot of potholes over the years so I’m thinking hey, it’s my front end and I had better get it checked. I did and NO problem was found with the front end. It was then that I realized that I have the Torque Converter shudder issue that you referred to in this video. Now the car has 95k miles on it and shudders allot. I have an appointment with Toyota next week Thursday (9/25) for them to take a look at it. My question to you is this. Since they have to take part of the transmission apart, when the issue is fixed should I have them flush the transmission of the old aftermarket synthetic fluid that I put in there in 2017 and put the Toyota WS Tranny fluid in there. Or do you think doing this will cause damage? I am just concerned that mixing different types of tranny fluid will cause issues. Thank you for your time. Max.
Hi Max, Thank you for watching my video. The fluid will get replaced again and if you didn’t have issues with the fluid then it’s likely compatible. There’s a very good chance your car will be covered by the warranty extension if you bought the car new in May of 2013. The dealership will take care of it from there.
@@juanaraujo4852This might be a bit late but yes, it was totally free when I did it. I think there was a deadline back in 2021 but I did mine before that. I can report that after 4 years, it’s still fine and I have no issues
I just bought a 2014 a few months ago and while shopping for one, _every_ car I test drove had the VVTi rattle. And a few were 2017's! Mine has it, had the intake cam gear replaced and the new gear does it, lol. I've spoken to one tech who said that it shouldn't cause a catastrophic failure (on the 2ARFE engine) and saw on several forums that most are just ignoring it. Crazy
I bought a 2014 XLE last week and I don't have any problems in the info-tainement system (knock on wood) No lag, no reboot. I hope it stays that way haha
@@TheCarCareNutdid the 2012-2013 V6 engines ever have the torque converter shudder problem? I’m thinking about buying one but need to verify the V6 should be ok ..
I have a 2014 Camry and my torque converter had to be replaced. It was a free repair because of the recall but I would therefore say the problem was NOT remedied in 2014.
Thank you for this valuable information, this helped me to buy a used 2014 camry.. Good that i chose camry as i was looking for cheaper cars, but worth the money, engine is smooth, and has great comfort while driving..
Hi. Thanks for the video going to look at a 2012 with 37k for $6000 owner is 80+ year old lady who is unable to drive anymore. Plan on looking at all the items you spoke about. Thanks again.
Dude youre a effing genius my 2014 camry has some of these problems namely the shudder at 40mph and oil pump leak. It had 200k miles on it though these are the first problems.
@@anthonyhines656 i bought it with 16k miles on it. Best car i ever owned, it got totalled at the end. Would have driven another 100k on just regular maintenance for sure.
My 2014.5 Camry Le needed a new torque converter before I reached 45k miles. Thankfully it was under warranty... if they open your door and see that it was made during a certain time, you may be eligible for a new converter free of charge, as long as you’re within a certain mileage... this torque converter issue has a mile warranty time separate from your normal warranty mileage, so if you call a Toyota dealer they can probably check to see if you’re eligible for the free repair. 🤗👍
So I’ve had my 13 Camry for almost 6 years now. Every now and then, my driver side door and passenger side door will not lock or unlock… but only sometimes. I actually can’t recreate the issue. Because of this I now am very aware of making sure my car is locked when I get out, and not relying on my key fob to lock it from the outside. It’s annoying because sometimes if it doesn’t unlock with the key fob, I have to open the back door and unlock the front manually. He’s saying it’s a costly repair so I think I’m willing to put up with the annoyance. However I will someday get it done as if anyone else drives my car, they won’t be so aware.
Thanks, looking at a 2013 to add to the family fleet this afternoon. Have an 06 that's been pretty solid. Good to know what to look for on this generation.
2012 SE 100 000 miles on it, O problems, just changed tires and a set of sparkplugs(no issues) because I thought it might be time for it, but they were like new!
I have the VVT gear rattle for 2 years now. I bought car with 100k miles and didn’t pay attention to this. To what I understand it’s because of 10k oil change. My mechanic said complete failure is not common and I should be fine. I do about 2500 mile oil changes and it’s been 2 years now. Don’t want to fix if I don’t have to…very costly.
So strange to see Ahmed from one of his first videos. He doesn’t sound as confident as he does now after doing tons of videos. He’s actually nervous and stutters just a bit. Has his own shop now. He still sounds pleasant and humble but not nervous. Plays bass guitar at church too.
thanks for the video. wife and i have a '12 with 180k miles and a '14 with 280k miles. recommend turning off automatic door locks to save lock solenoids. we drive 50k miles a year for uber. tires brakes batteries and axles are the only things we've had to do. all normal wear items. no complaints! great cars with minimal problems! we drive the heck out of them!
Hey Rob Rides! thanks for the comment. Question. Do you still have these cars and if so, what mileage do you have on them? (I currently have a 13 Camry SE with 113k).
I’m buying one, I found a 2013 SE with only 20k miles on it one owner. I’m trading in our 2006 Avalon with 216k miles. Love the Avalon but I commute a lot and need better MPG
Wow this video was much more helpful and honest than a similar video I watched from a youthber known as Masry Motors. That guy said at the end of the video to not by a 2012-2014 Camry because if you get the warranty work done the torque converter is going to fail again and again. Lol totally BS.
Not so fast! I bought a 2013 Camry se I4 brand new. Well taken care of. I had the recall for the torque converter shudder done in 2014. no issues until late 2020. The issue with the torque converter shudder started. Taking it back next week. Hoping it will get fixed correctly this time.
@@maxforever26 And how do you know it's the torque converter? Your vehicle needs to be inspected and diagnosed by a professional mechanic not just guessing or make assumptions.
@@svengali5003 First of all, did I say with 100% certainty that was the torque converter, no I didn't. I did some research, submitted a question to a qualified mechanic asked his opinion. Second, the last time I checked there was a difference between guessing, making assumptions and research. All sign's pointed to the torque converter being the issue. And lastly third, the car was taken into Toyota and checked out and IT WAS a torque converter issue. So next time think before you make comments on someone else's post.
@@maxforever26 You said the issue with the torque converter started. You were just guessing because you didn't actually turn a wrench to diagnose the problem. Big difference. It's very rare for any work to be repeated. Perhaps the job wasn't done right. AMD is a "real" Toyota Master Tech, he would of told you that. Otherwise he wouldn't of recommended the Camry from years 2012-2012. He littery worked on them. So he knows. The other guy from the Masry Motors channel doesn't know jack about cars nor he is a Mechanic. You take a pick of trust worthly between a Non Mechanic or AMD.
Fantastic channel, and I love that you answer so many questions in the comments. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos, they are 1st rate! I have a 4cyl 2014 Camry LE, bought it new and so far it has has been a very good car. Had a small problem when it was new, I would occasionally loose all throttle response for a few seconds after a right turn. It took awhile to get remedied but it ended up just being a simple adjustment at the brake pedal. I know they are not perfect but I do love my Toyota's!
I have one 2012 SE 4 cylinder. With 22K miles for 13 years. The only issue I have was the dealer fuck up the the passenger windows when it was recalled. Other than that nothing.
If the torque converter (transmission) problem present (very common in 2012-2014 Camry) and no warranty ( 8 years or 150k) left on the car, you will be facing a hefty repair bill. Just to let you know.
I love watching how Car Care Nut has evolved in his videos. He was a bit stiff and nervous in the beginning as he is seen here. Later he becomes an absolute pro in front of the camera.

Just bought a 2014 Camry from a Toyota dealer, didn't notice shudder until i got home. A very firm conversation with the dealer and they covered the TC recall. runs fine now, despite the window for the recall closing a few weeks ago they still honored it.
I own a 2013 Camry. Thank you for the tips. I have 108,000km on it and will be getting the transmission fluid changed at the dealership within the next 6 months.
How good is the 2013 Camry I am thinking of buying it any suggestion
4 cylinder 15% oil leaks , 12% coolant leaks, 10% transmission jerking, all very little, minor things, 8% door locks switch malfunction,
Just saved you 11 minutes in about 30 seconds, thanks great videos
This video guided me to buy a 7 year old camry 8 months back, and the same went to his servce center for oil change last week, got positive feedback of the car from this expert.
Thank you for your service, may God bless you and keep you blessings to many...
I recently bought a 2012 Camry se v6 with 47,000 miles on it. It’s been garage kept by an old lady for its whole life before I bought it (1 owner). Thank you so much for this video, I’ll be sure to keep all that information in mind! 😊
@WackboysFuneral fr tho. They’re fast asf (especially for Camry standards 😂) and the v6 makes the ride MUCH smoother than the same model 4- cylinder.
How much did you pay?
Lucky you
@@rmartin6914 $8,300 including title
@@bigboyisaac255 Thats a steal. The dealership wants 15k for that same car an mileage in California.
Sir I'd just like to say that because of you I am a Camry lover now. Purchased my first (Used) 2010 Camry in 2022 and began my MOD journey. I sold it last week and purchased a 2014 2.5V with 42,000 original kilometers, Mod plans that will happen over the next 6 months. My mechanic checked the car over with the computer and found Zero issues at all, It even had the original tires on it (First purchase were New tires) I look forward to my mod journey on my new baby. Thank you for all you do sir.
Thanks! You made me aware of the tc shudder. I had no idea. I thought maybe it was cv joints or something. I called my dealer and at first they checked and said we are showing no warranties left on your car. Then I did some more research and called back and said it’s called the warranty enhancement program ZE5. They found it and I qualify!! (2013 with 115K). My appointment is next Thursday!
Thanks again, and I wish you much success in your endeavors!
THAT my friends is how you get what you're owed! I did the same thing the dealership was like where did you get this TSB? This is something they usually just send us as a courtesy.. yeah OK.. I had to call the NHSTA for this information on extended recalls.
Hey mate, it sounds like an electrical problem
Wow, a lot more powertrain problems than I would have expected.
I think I'll hold on to my 12-year-old Prius. 349,000 miles still going strong.
I’ve owned a 2012 Camry LE for 5 years and traveled throughout California, Nevada and Arizona. Although she may be a plain Jane in the looks department, I’ve had absolutely ZERO problems. She’s been rock-solid. And yes, it’s a she haha
Have had my 2013 Camry hybrid xle and have had zero issues. I replaced the hybrid battery at 210k miles. So much respect to Toyota for their commitment to quality and longevity
After 100k anything is aceptable, however mi ‘13 Camry XLE , doesn’t have any problems, no leaks, no weird noise , no transmission problems, of course, I take care properly of my car , transmission serviced by myself every 30k, synthetic oil change every 5k, ANYWAY I REALLY APPRECIATE THOSE “warnings” IN ADVANCE !!
Update at 130k
1- VVTi rattling now ☹️
I watched this video a few times and it saved me from buying a few clunckers. Thank you!
The Lord bless you my friend...a few months back i bought '12 Camry 4cyl le when 31k miles, owned by older woman very well taken care off. You're video is very informative thanks!
Thanks! Nice car that will last you for a long time!

Torque converter was bad on my 2014 Camry. Extended recall warranty is 8 years after first purchase or before 150,000k miles.
This is really good to know. Last I checked they hadn’t extended their coverage. I’ll check with my dealer on Monday. Thanks!
My 2014 Camry has the torque converter shuttle problem! Ugh, thank you for this information! Love your content!
I ve used this car for some years and he basically covered everything this is notorious for. Keep it up man
My 2014 had the transmission shudder but I got the transmission fluid changed just under 50k and resolved the issue. Also, there is a service campaign out for the transmission shudder which covers it in case I have issues down the road. I currently have 81k on it and haven’t experienced the issue again. It’s a solid car and excellent in the snow due to narrower tires and weight distribution.
How is the timing? Is it a belt or chain?
@@Joe_334 chain! 😀
So just changing the fluid made the shudder go away?
@@scottg429 yes! I’m at about 86k now and still no shudder.
@@mattmroz4905 did you get a flush or a drain and fill?
So much valuable information, I hope your channel continues to grow.
You deserve more recognition,thank you!
We are so grateful to you for telling us about this car. We will check all of your recommendations before we buy this car. I'm sure you've saved many of us from costly repairs.
We have one and it’s a beautiful car. Just be careful with it.
A few very tiny rust spots I am working on. You are right about the chips and things. So you can buy proper factory colour coded paint and apply minimally. It gets cleaned regularly and monthly home service things ( not mechanic things- better to pay for that!)
We run the car on the highest octane gas - it’s a bit expensive but it drives so sweetly. The reviews I read criticise the steering, but honestly, the steering is fantastic. Most of all drive smoothly and don’t stress the engine and brakes. The emergency brakes are excellent and the seat belt thing locks properly.
Seats are comfortable. Everything easy to clean. A nice step up from previous model ( I used to own 6cyl model) in certain areas.
Paid a bit extra but over the life of car, good value. It’s a good size for the family. No need for suv!
People criticise its looks but when you take care of them, I think they look really nice ( most cars do).
Bought second hand last year (2020) 105,000 kms ( 65,000 miles) @ about $US $8000- bottom the range altise. Made in Australia!
Thank you brother. Peace and best wishes.
glad i watched this video. I am debating on buying a 2012 camry.
which camry model years have you seen the fewest problems in?
Just get the car every car in the world are going to have problems
It's a durable beast.
Get it, I have still have mine! I got it at 0 miles and it’s at 102,000 miles now. Only thing I’ve switched is the alternator !
i have a 2012 v6.. according to him, im glad i got the v6 because it's been great!
I had a transmission issue with the 2014. Toyota changed the torque converter.
Same
Did you get the torque converter software update beforehand?
Thank tou for another well produced video/ There are a lot of good looking 2012 Camrys out there. Your video helps us verify which ones we should buy. Thanks again for exposing the problems and advising how we should care for this car.
💯💯💯
I have a 2013 Camry XLE V6. Got 111,000 miles on it so far, so obviously haven't had any issues yet. Bought it with 78k on it a couple years ago. Great car, comfortable and plenty of power. Changing the tranny fluid tomorrow. Slightly late at 111k, but better than listening to Toyota's claim that it's a "lifetime fluid".
I want to buy a Camry, is better the 2.4l or the 2.5l or the V6? I don´t understand which one is better.
i fell for that 'lifetime fluid' until i got educated.
ask toyota what they consider is the lifetime of a transmission in miles. they will give you a definitive number; usually the limit of their warranty. so, their definition of lifetime differs greatly with my definition and most likely yours as well.
Just watched this video, after watching your most recent one.
You did improve leaps and bounds in presentation skills.
This is a compliment.
Thanks for the video Broseph! I love my 08' V6 Camry. Thing is my ride or die, I'll own it until the end
Thank you so much. This kind of info is why TH-cam is so awesome!
I own a 2014 Camry SE, and received a TSB (transmission shudders when reaching the speed of 50 mph) and had the torque converter replaced at my local dealership. This video is very helpful to keep an eye on trouble spots! Thank you!
I think i'm having the same problem. How much did it cost to repair if you don't mind me asking.
The dealer fixed it for free. They replaced the torque converter and calibrated the computer. Here is the link to get your car fixed under the enhanced warranty: www.tsbsearch.com/Toyota/POL14-10
I didnt know the dealer covered this and my wifes car has this issue. She is just under 150k miles. Not sure what we should do at this point.
@@the86life me too don't know what to do or whether dealer will cover the costs
Replacing the torque converter is a temporary fix, the root problem is poor transmission design. If I was you, I would sell your Camry yesterday, if not sooner.
Just turned 119k on my 14 SE Sport. Not a single problem so far. I do keep up with all maintenance. Was at the dealer getting its 120k check-up, and the sales guy tried to get me to buy a new one. I said no way. I expect many more years from it
For anyone wondering about the transmission shudder, Toyota will cover torque converter replacement for free as long as it has not been 8 years from the date of first use, or 150,000 miles whichever comes first.
I'm sorry that's not true with the transmission I've got a 2012 Toyota Camry XLE took it to mobley and they're telling me that they cannot do anything because it expired in 2020 well I'm sorry but in 2020 everything was shut down due to covid-19. They still will not honor it they're telling me that they can't do anything about it I have went to the corporate office they're telling me the same thing they didn't my shift gear nobody has not called me back on that so as far as they're telling you that they will fix it that is not true
@@patporter1499 a Toyota dealership in Florida replaced mine in October 2020. The warranty still had another 10 months/35,000 miles left since the car was first driven off in August 2013. Off the bat, I explained word for word the issue I was facing verbatim straight from the TSB. After the diagnosis a few hours later, they were willing to replace the TC and reprogram. Car has not given me once single issue since then.
@@prandomable WOW!!
@@maxforever26 it's fixed now. ATF replaced. Shudder went away. I didn't change the ATF for 90,000 miles that's why.
@@prandomable That's good to hear. I take meticulous care of my cars and learning about this issue after leasing a 13 2 weeks ago made me sick. If I change the trans fluid every 30k or so, think that'll keep the issue from happening? Good to hear a lotta people are not having this issue with their higher mileage stuff.
Great video! Thank you for your tips! I am considering a 2014 Camry, RAV4 or Honda CRV. May The Lord bless you also. 🙏
My 2014 Toyota Camry 4cyl had the shudder. Toyota paid for the torque converter to be replaced though. Good on Toyota!!!
I have a 12 with 215k this is definitely things I've ran into
I got a 2012 Toyota Camry XLE with a little less than 30,000 Miles away few days ago. I love it!!!!!! I have to fix my navigation system though, it keeps saying I'm somewhere in the U.S that I'm not. I'm thinking about taking it to the dealership or a mechanic.
Excellent and very informative review from an expert who knows his job. Top marks. 👍👍🙏
Thanks for all the tips and advice, i have a 2014 camry se bought new took your advice and replace the transmission fluid at 64000 mls. no other issues so far.
Great video, thank you so much! I'm about to go look at a 2012 Camry for my daughter to drive. With this information and some other I got, I feel I am armed with enough information to know if I am buying the right car.
I've got a 2.4cl SE 2012 It works great. So far no issues for the last 8 years. Other the usual wear and tear ( Battery change every 5 years, a rear light bulb blow, oil changes and minor scratches on the body work) it's a durable dad mobile! >>>>> I met a cabby with a similar model and his has 800K miles on his, from his words he said the only thing he does on his is the usual maintaining at the dealership.
Any torque converter issues ?

Noisy tensioner pulley
Cold start clatter in 4cylndr engine
Whining noise sometimes
Body Paint chipping issue
Electrical issue like Radio not playing from last stopped song instead it goes back to first file every time.
Transmission / torque converter stuttering after warmed up and cruising aroung 40-60 km hour and leave gas it will stutter little bit
Thanks for the advice, I am looking to make a purchase on a 2014 Toyota Camry, I'm definitely going to follow these tips before I buy this vehicle
Two issues worth noting with this model. The standard radio (not JBL) has a common issue with the screen not responding to touch around the edges. Mine is bad at the bottom and right side. Car has 37,000 miles on it now, so not like the radio has had a lot of use. Other issue of Camry's of this date range is that they got a poor rating by IIHS for small overlap test in 2012-2014 ('14 ones produced in 2013). The 2014.5 model had structural changes making that version IIHS rated "acceptable," so look for a "2014.5" on the B pillar..
Both are true. Though the screen edge issue was not as common on the earlier models and a lot more common on other Toyota radios but I’ve seen a few on this generation Camry. The safety rating is a subject I didn’t touch on because that’s not mechanical and that’s something for the perspective buyer to research on the car itself new or used. you are 100% right on the safety rating
i bought a 2014.5 camry from carmax and it had the screen issue you mentioned.
a hack i used to play around there is to use the magnetic part of your Bank card. Cheers
I have a 2012. I bought it with 420 miles on it and now it has 250k. Mechanical issues. Just 1. Alternator failed at 215k. Changed it in 10 minutes. Went ahead and put a new belt on as well. Fixing to change the left driver cv axle and PCV valve next week.
Did you ever change your transmit fluid
Hey AMD. Great video. Of course I wish I had seen this sooner but I am still glad that I saw it. I bought my Toyota Camry SE brand new in May of 2013. I never had any issues with the torque converter. I received the recall notice from Toyota in 2014 to bring in it for the torque converter shudder issue. Then it had about 20k miles on it. I had the recall done, no issues afterwards. In 2017 at 53k miles I had the the transmission fluid flushed (by my independent mechanic who is pretty good). He used aftermarket synthetic fluid for the flush. Again, no issues afterwards. Late last year ( in 2020) I started noticing that when I would coast between 40-45 miles an hour I would feel a sudden shudder then it would stop, then it would do it again. Living in NY I’ve hit allot of potholes over the years so I’m thinking hey, it’s my front end and I had better get it checked. I did and NO problem was found with the front end. It was then that I realized that I have the Torque Converter shudder issue that you referred to in this video. Now the car has 95k miles on it and shudders allot. I have an appointment with Toyota next week Thursday (9/25) for them to take a look at it. My question to you is this. Since they have to take part of the transmission apart, when the issue is fixed should I have them flush the transmission of the old aftermarket synthetic fluid that I put in there in 2017 and put the Toyota WS Tranny fluid in there. Or do you think doing this will cause damage? I am just concerned that mixing different types of tranny fluid will cause issues. Thank you for your time. Max.
Hi Max,
Thank you for watching my video.
The fluid will get replaced again and if you didn’t have issues with the fluid then it’s likely compatible. There’s a very good chance your car will be covered by the warranty extension if you bought the car new in May of 2013. The dealership will take care of it from there.
Bravo 👏👏👏. Very informative video. You've outlined many hidden problematic areas to look after, when purchasing a used Camry 2012-14 . Thanks man.
One important thing to know guys is that the torque converter issue is fully covered under Toyota. Go to the dealership and have it replaced for free
i was told up till 150k miles. just took my 2014 SE v4 in for repairs.

I just bought a 2014 a few months ago and while shopping for one, _every_ car I test drove had the VVTi rattle. And a few were 2017's! Mine has it, had the intake cam gear replaced and the new gear does it, lol. I've spoken to one tech who said that it shouldn't cause a catastrophic failure (on the 2ARFE engine) and saw on several forums that most are just ignoring it. Crazy
I have this noise for half sec or less cold start. I think it’s normal
@@ibrahimqari9189 It's the intake cam gear rattling due to the locking pin not seating. While not normal, it doesn't appear to actually fail.
Excellent advise from an excellent Mechanic
I bought a 2014 XLE last week and I don't have any problems in the info-tainement system (knock on wood) No lag, no reboot. I hope it stays that way haha
I hope so as well. For some reason some of them were problem free. It also depends on your phone and your use of the radio.

Thanks for sharing this video, interesting and informative.
My 2014.5 Camry Le needed a new torque converter before I reached 45k miles. Thankfully it was under warranty... if they open your door and see that it was made during a certain time, you may be eligible for a new converter free of charge, as long as you’re within a certain mileage... this torque converter issue has a mile warranty time separate from your normal warranty mileage, so if you call a Toyota dealer they can probably check to see if you’re eligible for the free repair. 🤗👍
Kevin Pace that’s good that it was under warranty. Can get pretty expensive if it’s not.

Buying any used car is a mine field.
So I’ve had my 13 Camry for almost 6 years now. Every now and then, my driver side door and passenger side door will not lock or unlock… but only sometimes. I actually can’t recreate the issue. Because of this I now am very aware of making sure my car is locked when I get out, and not relying on my key fob to lock it from the outside. It’s annoying because sometimes if it doesn’t unlock with the key fob, I have to open the back door and unlock the front manually. He’s saying it’s a costly repair so I think I’m willing to put up with the annoyance. However I will someday get it done as if anyone else drives my car, they won’t be so aware.
Thanks, looking at a 2013 to add to the family fleet this afternoon. Have an 06 that's been pretty solid. Good to know what to look for on this generation.
2012 SE 100 000 miles on it, O problems, just changed tires and a set of sparkplugs(no issues) because I thought it might be time for it, but they were like new!
I have the VVT gear rattle for 2 years now. I bought car with 100k miles and didn’t pay attention to this. To what I understand it’s because of 10k oil change. My mechanic said complete failure is not common and I should be fine. I do about 2500 mile oil changes and it’s been 2 years now. Don’t want to fix if I don’t have to…very costly.
So strange to see Ahmed from one of his first videos. He doesn’t sound as confident as he does now after doing tons of videos. He’s actually nervous and stutters just a bit. Has his own shop now. He still sounds pleasant and humble but not nervous. Plays bass guitar at church too.

My 2014 Toyota Camry SE did shudder at around that speed of 40 mph , a new torqe converter plus labor was 2,400 dollars.
Hello. Did that fix your issue. How long did they warranty it for?
I’m buying one, I found a 2013 SE with only 20k miles on it one owner. I’m trading in our 2006 Avalon with 216k miles. Love the Avalon but I commute a lot and need better MPG
Great stuff! Thanks and may the Lord bless you too!
Wow this video was much more helpful and honest than a similar video I watched from a youthber known as Masry Motors. That guy said at the end of the video to not by a 2012-2014 Camry because if you get the warranty work done the torque converter is going to fail again and again. Lol totally BS.
Not so fast! I bought a 2013 Camry se I4 brand new. Well taken care of. I had the recall for the torque converter shudder done in 2014. no issues until late 2020. The issue with the torque converter shudder started. Taking it back next week. Hoping it will get fixed correctly this time.
@@maxforever26 And how do you know it's the torque converter? Your vehicle needs to be inspected and diagnosed by a professional mechanic not just guessing or make assumptions.
@@svengali5003 First of all, did I say with 100% certainty that was the torque converter, no I didn't. I did some research, submitted a question to a qualified mechanic asked his opinion. Second, the last time I checked there was a difference between guessing, making assumptions and research. All sign's pointed to the torque converter being the issue. And lastly third, the car was taken into Toyota and checked out and IT WAS a torque converter issue. So next time think before you make comments on someone else's post.
@@maxforever26 You said the issue with the torque converter started. You were just guessing because you didn't actually turn a wrench to diagnose the problem. Big difference. It's very rare for any work to be repeated. Perhaps the job wasn't done right. AMD is a "real" Toyota Master Tech, he would of told you that. Otherwise he wouldn't of recommended the Camry from years 2012-2012. He littery worked on them. So he knows. The other guy from the Masry Motors channel doesn't know jack about cars nor he is a Mechanic. You take a pick of trust worthly between a Non Mechanic or AMD.

I have a 4cyl 2014 Camry LE, bought it new and so far it has has been a very good car. Had a small problem when it was new, I would occasionally loose all throttle response for a few seconds after a right turn.

Thank you for the great detail in your video. My vehicle has the timing grind...I'm wondering how bad it is.
Could you take a video of the noise and email it to me?
I have one 2012 SE 4 cylinder. With 22K miles for 13 years. The only issue I have was the dealer fuck up the the passenger windows when it was recalled. Other than that nothing.
If the torque converter (transmission) problem present (very common in 2012-2014 Camry) and no warranty ( 8 years or 150k) left on the car, you will be facing a hefty repair bill. Just to let you know.
My coworker has 522k on his 2012 Camry. He said he drove 65k the first year he bought new and only done oil changes and no other maintenance.
Does he still have it ?
