Is the 2014 Toyota Camry reliable?
The 2014 Toyota Camry has 410 owner complaints on file with NHTSA, 1.3 times the median of 318 for 2014 sedans on this site. Of the 11 Camry model years since 2014, it has the 2nd most complaints. Complaint counts rise with sales as well as faults, so read what owners report below before deciding.
At a glance
- Next to other model years
- Complaints filed before 2015 aren't in the files this site reads, so the 2014 count runs short and isn't compared with the model years next to it.
- Top problem
- No problem dominates. The largest, transmission shudder, covers 80 of the 410 complaints (20%), and airbag is next with 37 (one complaint can fall under more than one problem, so these overlap). It's a high-mileage complaint: half of the 54 owners who gave a mileage for transmission shudder were past about 91,000 miles.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 58 of the 410 complaints (14%) report a crash, a fire or an injury. The typical vehicle on this site sits at 6%, so this one runs well above it. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 50 reports mention a crash, 3 mention a fire and 35 people were hurt. The reports record 1 death. The most crash reports, 25 of 50, fall under airbag.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- No recall on file is on the same system as transmission shudder, airbag and brake wear. For those, the complaints are all there is.
- When owners filed
- Filings peaked in 2015 at 62 (full calendar years only). In 2025 there were 15. So far in 2026, 10 more have come in. Filings on record start in 2015.

How this compares
410 complaints is 1.3 times the median 2014 model on this site and 1.3 times the median 2014 sedan. Among the 11 Camry model years here it ranks 2nd for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
Service bulletins for the 2014 Toyota Camry
Toyota filed 524 bulletins and other notices with NHTSA that list the 2014 Toyota Camry. 63 of them deal with a problem owners have reported on this car. Newest first.
