2009 Toyota Camry consumer reviews

Hi, I’m 18 and this was my first nice car, I have had it for like 3 months and put 5k miles on it. It’s Solid, I do have the 3.5L so it doesn’t have the oil issues like the 4cyl. This car quiet and comfortable and runs and starts every time, even when freezing. It has 192k and I love it. Only repair needed was a cv axle which was under 500$, which for this many miles is great. I highly suggest the v6 2009 Camry!

I am a 95 year old female and LOVE my 2009 Camry. Bought it new in June of 2008 after my 1996 Camry was rearended and totaled. Since then I have driven it 84,569 miles for which I had to buy 3,778 gal of gas. I take my car to the dealer every 4 months (whether it needs it or not) and spent $28,775 for these visits which comes out to 34 cents a mile. It is large enough so that I feel secure among all these huge cars, yet it is small enough so that I have no problems parking in tight spots, or backing into my carport. It has enough get-up and go so that I have been able to get out of tight spots and it has kept me safe and accident free all these years. If - for any reason - I should have to buy one more car during my lifetime - I definitely hope that Toyota has another Camry for me.

This is an extremely reliable and dependable vehicle. Something to look out for if you have or are interested in buying a 2007-09 Camry with the 4 cylinder motor, try and look for the service records and see if your engine was repaired with new piston rings at the time when they issued the service campaign for it. I purchased my 2009 just last year with 75k miles on it, and it was a 4 cylinder that was fixed by the dealership! Doesn’t burn a drop of oil between 5k mile intervals. This car is a beast, there is nothing to worry about whatsoever with the V6 models, just be aware that higher power output means more strain on the transmission, but these cars are mechanically fantastic. Just turned 89k miles after about a year of ownership, not one issue. Gas mileage won’t be as good as a new car, but still decent! Do your research before buying, but if you can find one of these older Camrys for cheap, you won’t be disappointed.

I've had my car for a while, and the only real issue is that it consumes or leaks engine oil slowly. I change the oil every 3,000 miles, and with that routine, it's been fine. The car now has 140,000 miles and still runs great—thanks to God. I once switched to synthetic oil and drove 5,000 miles between changes, but all the oil was gone by then. Since sticking to 3,000-mile oil changes, I haven't even needed to check the oil level regularly. Aside from this minor issue, the car is reliable and has served me well.

Uses oil only 114,000 miles and one thing after another is failing . I've owned a 93 Camry LE 98 Camry LE 20001 Solara none used any oil or was problematic except for this 2009 Camry LE .

I just purchased this great vehicle . 60000 miles 14 years old...I love it. good ride, fantastic value. .... now in toyota family,,, returning since the 70's i owned a corolla ... TOM

I bought this car new, never had any major issues, but this year it has Leaking water in to the interior floor, and lots of it, when the air conditioner is on!!!! It as ruined my dash, and floor Matt’s, what do we have to do to fix. Thank you

The only thing I did not like it is the quality of the A/C. To replace the evaporator, you have to remove the dash complety, and couple of years later the compressor, failed

I bought a used 2009 Toyota Camry back in June of 2022. Everything seemed alright and it drove me from California to Arkansas where I moved. I have the vehicle lubed a number of times, wheels rotated, and engine checked, but when I drove it out to have dinner, a three mile drive, it literally burned up into a huge fire and is a total loss now. I've only had the car for 6 or seven months and thought I'd own this nice little car for yers to come. But, that is just not so. I wish I could provide you with a picture because this beauty just blew up like in the movies. I'm very disappointed in Toyota's now.

My 2009 Camry has 220K miles, and while I understand that is a lot. The issues it has had have been expensive and ridiculous. Despite the issues it has had, It runs good and gets me everywhere I need to go, in a comfortable way.
