How this compares
180 complaints is 3.1 times fewer than the median 2016 model on this site and 3.2 times fewer than the median 2016 sedan. Among the 11 Camry model years here it ranks 6th 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.
Complaints filed by year
28 complaints came in 2016, 28.0 times the year before. Owners file in waves when a problem gets press or an investigation, so a spike measures attention as much as failures.
