Toyota Camry Problems

According to the FCAI website, which uses information supplied by the carmakers, you can use E10 in your car.

Contrary to what you’ve been told the 195/70 R14 is readily available and is perfectly roadworthy for your car, falling well within the requirements for load rating and rolling radius. There are a number of brands available, but the Michelin is one of the better ones.

Have the camber bar bushes checked, they can cause a rattling noise if worn.

Without seeing the parts it's hard to comment on the condition of the bushes, but I think you could take the advice of the dealer in this matter. The dealer has demonstrated to you that the movement is normal, and I think you could assume they would also be keen to replace the bushes themselves if they need replacing.

Toyota has told us that they will contact you to investigate the issues on your Camry Hybrids.

Good information, which could help explain the failures of globes on the Camry hybrid. Last we heard Toyota was looking into the failures on this particular car.

Cars do generally loosen up as time goes by, the bodies flex even without you noticing it. I wouldn’t be too concerned about it, but if you were you could have a panel beater inspect it for you to see if it has been crashed.

Good to see Toyota taking an interest in their products when a problem crops up, and hopefully you will find what's causing the globe failures. Keep us informed on the progress, it could help other owners should they hit the same snag.

The 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine in the Camry 30 Series does have a timing chain rather than a belt and it doesn't need to be serviced as your friend was told.

There’s something wrong with your car to be so far away from the claimed fuel consumption figures. It needs to be checked by a mechanic with diagnostic equipment. I could be a problem with the oxygen sensor making it too rich.
