2016 Toyota Camry hybrid problems
The Toyota Camry (/ˈkæmri/; Japanese: トヨタ・カムリ Toyota Kamuri) is an automobile sold internationally by the Japanese auto manufacturer Toyota since 1982, spanning multiple generations. Originally compact in size (narrow-body), the Camry has grown since the 1990s to fit the mid-size classification (wide-body)—although the two widths co-existed in that decade. Since the release of the wide-bodied versions, Camry has been extolled by Toyota as the firm's second "world car" after the Corolla. As of 2022, the Camry is positioned above the Corolla and below the Avalon or Crown in several markets.
In Japan, Camry was once exclusive to Toyota Corolla Store retail dealerships. Narrow-body cars also spawned a rebadged sibling in Japan, the Toyota Vista (トヨタ・ビスタ)—also introduced in 1982 and sold at Toyota Vista Store locations. Diesel fuel versions have previously retailed at Toyota Diesel Store. The Vista Ardeo was a wagon version of the Vista V50.
Etymology
The name "Camry" derives from the Japanese word kanmuri (ja:冠, かんむり), meaning "crown". This follows Toyota's naming tradition of using the crown name for primary models starting with the Toyota Crown (1955), continuing with the Toyota Corona (1957) and Corolla (1966); the Latin words for "crown" and "small crown", respectively. Maintaining this theme was the Toyota Tiara (1960) named after the "tiara" form of crown. The Atara trim level name used on the Camry in Australia since 2011 means "crown" in Hebrew. The rebadged Camry variant for Japan, the Toyota Scepter (1991)—took its name from "scepter", a royal accessory to a crown.

Common 2016 Toyota Camry hybrid problems
The Toyota Camry Hybrid 2016 is known for its reliability and fuel efficiency, but like any vehicle, it can have certain issues. One of the most common problems reported by owners is related to the battery and electrical system. If you experience any of these signs, it's essential to seek Camry Hybrid battery repair specialists as soon as possible to prevent worse issues down the line.
Another issue reported by some owners is related to the transmission. Transmission problems have been reported in the 2018-2019 and 2012-2017 models of the Camry Hybrid. These problems can cause the car to slip in and out of gear, lose or gain speed rapidly, delay gear changes, and cause the vehicle to shake upon acceleration.
In the 2012-2017 models, some owners have reported faulty power brake boosters, which can cause the brake warning light to illuminate and drivers to hear brake pedal chatter when stepping on the brake pedal. If you notice any issues with your brakes, it's essential to take your car to a mechanic straight away.
Lastly, some 2008-2011 models have reported transmission problems, which can cause delays when accelerating and brake problems, with a lot of pressure needed to stop the car.
Overall, while the Toyota Camry Hybrid 2016 is known for its reliability, it's essential to be aware of these common issues and seek professional help if you experience any of these signs. Regular maintenance and check-ups can also help prevent these issues from occurring in the first place.

STRUCTURE,LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-29
- Number Of Injuries: 1
- VIN: 4T1BF1FKXGU
- Components: STRUCTURE,LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
- Summary: While loading groceries in my trunk, the torsion bar sheared off and broke (the hook part). It fell hard on my shoulder (fortunately not my neck or head). I have never seen steel actually break rather than bend. I tried to fix it but could not. Trunk is heavy and unstable (falls easily), as is part of car in back. Went to Toyota dealer and found out no recall, and "iffy" fix. They wanted $488.50 to try and fix. My body shop estimated $164. and purchased correct Toyota parts, followed their instructions. The bars only held for a few minutes, then they failed to hold up the trunk again. I was almost injured again with this failure, but managed to catch it in time. They refunded me $100. since they said there was no more "play" to work with. Went on social media only to find that many Toyota Camry 2016 and 2015s had torsion bar failures, with no recall. Some said that they spent over $1000. trying to fix it, but never could, no matter what dealership or body shop repaired it. Others gave up and sold it. It is not something that I can "live with". the trunk is heavy to life and unstable. Have to hold it while trying to put things in trunk. I have had 6 Toyotas in my life and 3 cars with Auto Nation, but have never had the lack of integrity, follow-through and non-solutions that I have experienced with the purchase of this car. Unlike others, I can't afford to sell/replace my car at this time, and can't live with it as is. I truly love my car, but do not feel safe using it and am totally frustrated. All I want is for Toyota and/or its mfr.) to own up to the design flaw and either fix or replace it. Note: I have photos of broken part, failure, and estimates, but couldn't get them to download onto your form. (It just kept deleting the form and having me start over). Please advise if I can send another way.

- Crash: 1
- VIN: 4T1BF1FK1GU
- Components: STEERING,AIR BAGS
- Summary: Vehicle- 2016 Toyota Camry As I was making a slight turn on the highway, my steering wheel began to sparatically veering left and right, which resulted in me hitting a curb, not once but twice. Due to the heavy impact and harsh involuntary, out of control steering the airbag should have deployed. However, it failed to do so. Instead, only the "airbag light" came on my dashboard along with warning lights that had not been there prior to accident.
STEERING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-02-01
- VIN: 4T1BF1FK5GU
- Components: STEERING
- Summary: Erratic steering issue related to weak car battery. I have a 2016 Toyota Camry XLE. The car began pulling to the left then to the right while driving down a straight and even road. The car would then resume normal steering for a minute or two, then the erratic steering behavior would resume for several minutes. In addition, the steering wheel would not return to center after making left or right turns. This steering issue would begin 1 - 5 minutes from the start of a trip a continue throughout the journey. This issue has been reported by many other Camry owners in several online automotive related repair sites with each person describing these same steering issues. They stated that the problem was resolved when they replaced their car battery. I decided to replace my 4-year-old True Start battery with a new DieHard Platinum battery from Advance Auto Parts and had them install it a week ago. Since then, the steering issue has not returned, and I consider this issue resolved.
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-02-20
- VIN: 4T4BF1FK3GR
- Components: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: I was on the highway during traffic hour going approximately 40 mph at 2 rpm and when I tried to accelerate to keep up with the flow of traffic, the car did not accelerate and actually slowed down and suddenly shifted down below 1 rpm which caused the oncoming cars behind me to hit their brakes hard. After it slowed down and did not accelerate, even though I pressed the gas pedal further, it suddenly shifted to 3.5 rpm and bolted forward towards the vehicle slowing down in front of me causing me to slam the brakes. It felt as if there was a disconnect between the transmission and the engine. Nothing popped up on the dashboard. This continued twice more before I pulled over and restarted the car to see if would help and it sort of did for about 10 miles before occurring once more before I reached my destination, so I pulled over and checked it on my OM126p and it showed no faults in the system. I then took it to the mechanic the next day and the car was fine the mechanic cleared the vehicle and said it was probably due to a clogged fuel filter and I have an appointment with them in hopes of fixing this problem. Now I’ve read into the problem and it seems to be a recurring problem and there’s been countless situations like mine in which the safety of both I and others on the road have been put at great risk. Please look into the problem on the off chance it isn’t a problem with filters. Please look after the safety of everybody on the road. Thank you.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-06-16
- Crash: 1
- VIN: 4T1BD1FK6GU
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: I parked my Toyota Camry Hybrid on my sloped driveway, and it wouldn't turn off, change gears, no response when gas pedal pressed. I called my insurance to tow it and while I was waiting, I tried to open the trunk to remove items. It wouldn't open, but somehow, I was able to get it into neutral thinking perhaps I could open the trunk. Not so. The car started rolling down the drive, bottomed out at the end, rolled across the street into a ditch. Fortunately, the ditch stopped it form hitting the 2 cars across the street and their house. It was still running. The neighbors all arrived to see me sobbing. The men tried to turn it off, but no luck. The insurance company totaled it because the frame was bent. I hadn't had my car very long and I was devastated. It was still drivable and I had to keep driving it even though the mechanic I took it to told me not to. The mechanic looked it over and could find no reason for the issue. I eventually found a used Toyota Avalon in silver, but not the beautiful sparkly red of the Camry. It made it onto America's Funniest Videos, but it's not funny. I tried to attach the video my Ring took, but I can't get it to attach. If you'd like to see me running down the driveway chasing it I can send you the video another way. It's on TikTok. Fortunately, I wasn't able to get into the car or the door would have flattened me. Sorry the pics are sideways. That's the way they loaded.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-02-13
- VIN: 4T4BF1FK6GR
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: The information center touch screen does not respond in the cold weather
STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-12-24
- VIN: 4T4BF1FK2GR
- Components: STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: This 2016 Toyota Camry LE developed a steering problem. Initially, the steering pulled mildly to the left when the car was cold. This resolved after 5 minutes of driving. My mechanic could find no problem with the steering. Eventually (2 weeks) the steering would additionally intermittently pull moderately to the right. This was not reproducible. If I did not hold the wheel firmly, the car would turn off the road or across the lane to the right. Within one week the car would became difficult to start. Two days later the battery failed completely. Replacing the battery totally corrected the steering problems. I conclude that the failing battery could not adequately power the electric motors in the power steering. This was the first sign of a failing battery. I had never heard of this before. There was no warning light. I believe that such an unusual sign of a failing battery should be publicized as an important warning for all cars with electrically controlled power steering.
AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-10-11
- Crash: 1
- VIN: 4T1BF1FKXGU
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: This was a T-Bone accident. My front airbags did not deploy as the hit happened at 40 mph.
STEERING,WHEELS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-09-01
- VIN: 4T1BF1FK9GU
- Components: STEERING,WHEELS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: The car starts shaking and the stirring wheel at 40 mph or more. 10 /1/23.
SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-07-09
- VIN: 4T4BF1FK0GR
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: The rear brake (passage side) had very uneven wearing. It is the outside pad only. It is a potential safety issue. It was discovered when performing brake inspection by myself. There was no warning except some grinding noise.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-06-16
- Crash: 1
- VIN: 4T1BD1FK6GU
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: My car would not turn off, change gears out of park into drive or reverse, no reaction when the gas pedal was pushed. It was part way into the garage on an inclined driveway. I called my insurance company to have a tow truck help. I got out of the car to try and open the trunk and get my shopping out of it, but the trunk would not open either. I thought perhaps if I put the car in neutral it might open, but instead it rolled down the driveway, bottomed out at the end of the driveway, rolled across the street and crashed into the ditch. Thank goodness it hit the ditch because it was headed toward the neighbor's cars and house. It was still running when it stopped in the ditch! The neighbors all came out and tried to turn it off without success. The frame was bent, the rear end of the car was smashed and the insurance company said it was totaled. My car had been in perfect condition. I have since spoken with others who know of friends who have had the same issue. One person left their car running all night until it ran out of gas.
ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-02-13
- VIN: 4T1BD1FK3GU
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: Just at 70,000 miles a service light came on. After checking I found the oil was very low, about 2 quarts. I took it to the dealer for the oil change on 10/17/2022 and the service tech said that the hybrids use (burn) a little oil. That seems excessive to me. I just check my oil and it is a quart low with 3800 miles after the last oil change. Could have been burning oil for some time and didn't know it due to the fact I always took it to the dealer for the oil changes. They never said anything about the car burning or using oil, There is no leak as no oil in my driveway and on the engine. I'm afraid it might lock up on me when I on the road and could cause me to wreak.
ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-01-17
- VIN: 4T4BF1FKXGR
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: Micro leaks in radiator top plastic, could be defect with any camrys. Had to replace radiator.
AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-12-07
- Number Of Injuries: 1
- Crash: 1
- VIN: 4T1BF1FK5GU
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER STATED THAT 1ST ROW LEFT SEATBACK AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY DURING AUTO ACCIDENT.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-11-10
- VIN: 4T4BF1FK8GR
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: My car when I driving lose power and in seconds the rpm come highly and make my car dangerous because accelerated when I don’t use the gas pedal
STRUCTURE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2019-09-10
- VIN: 4T1BK1FK7GU
- Components: STRUCTURE
- Summary: Roof and sunroof structures began making continuous loud "popping" noises, very startling and distracting to driver and passengers. Toyota is aware of the problem, it involves the structure of the sunroof mating to the structure of the vehicle roof. This defect has existed since at least the 2007 model year, and Toyota published official guides for Toyota dealer repair procedures. Toyota refused the procedure due to my vehicle being out of its 3 year/36,000 mile warranty, instead quoting around $1600 for the repair. The popping noises are very loud, similar to a rock hitting the windshield. This startles the driver and causes the driver to jump and lose focus. This is a very well-known defect and Toyota is hiding behind the fact that it usually begins after the warranty period is expired. Toyota should cover its repair.
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2018-11-01
- VIN: 4T1BF1FK3GU
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: I have taken my car into the dealership twice now to be looked at for transmission issues. There’s a delay in acceleration and shifting gears. It struggles to move quickly when needing to get out of the way of any potential danger. This lack of responsiveness is dangerous and reported on many Toyotas as something “normal” and as such, the dealership says they can not replicate the problem.
SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-04-30
- VIN: 4T1BD1FK9GU
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE
- Summary: I was stopped at a traffic light, on an uphill grade, for roughly thirty seconds when my 2016 Toyota Camry Hybrid just started slowly accelerating. I looked down and my foot was still on the brake. The car then accelerated quickly. I turned into the left hand turn lane in order to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me. The car then jumped the center divider and slam in the curb on the other side of the street before it stopped. At no time did I take my foot off the brake. There was only minor damage to the front bumper, but I destroyed two plants in the center divide. (I do not know, as of yet, if there was any damage to underneath of car.) As I was less than two miles from home, I drove the vehicle home. The next business day I had the vehicle towed to the Toyota dealership in San Juan Capistrano, CA. I told them of the problem and they immediately notified corporate. Corporate TOOK possession of the car and did not issue its report until June 1, 2022 (31 days after the incident).

I've never had a hybrid car before, but I'm really enjoying driving this 2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE. It's exceeded all my expectations for a hybrid car, including the technology package.
-
Hi there! I just wanted to share that on my 16 mile commute to work, I've been getting between 37-39 MPG on the way in and over 41 on the way home. My best was 55MPG in stop and go freeway traffic, but I occasionally get 50 MPG at highway speeds. I've only had the car for a few weeks, but so far, I'm really happy with it. I think the net altitude gain of about 400 feet going from home to work could explain the better mileage on the way home. Thanks for listening!
-
Congratulations on your purchase! It sounds like you made a great choice with your 2015 TCH XLE. I love all the features you mentioned, especially the leather interior, roof, bluetooth, and navigation. The Entune and satellite radio are also great additions. It's fantastic that the previous owner replaced the OEM Bridgestone tires with Michelins, making the car super quiet on the highway. With a 700 mile range between fillups, you can go on long trips without worrying about stopping for gas. The body side mouldings, sill guards, and splash guards are great factory installed features. The Artic Pearl paint is also a nice touch. Enjoy your new ride!
-
You have a very reliable car! I was pleasantly surprised with the power it has. I must admit, I've even squealed the tires more than once!

Ned Pfannerstill 2024-09-10
The car seems to be designed for smaller individuals, as it may not be the most comfortable for taller or bigger people. Additionally, the tires are quite thin and may need to be replaced frequently if you hit a curb. The radio could also be improved. Overall, there is room for improvement in terms of size and features. Sorry for the negative feedback!
Favian Zboncak 2024-06-01
My wife and I have been experiencing a lower MPG than the advertised 38hwy/43city in our Toyota hybrid. Despite our efforts to drive slower, we only get a range of 28 to 34.5 MPG. Although the computer indicates that we are achieving the proper MPG, the amount of fuel we fill up with at the pump proves otherwise. We are disappointed that we spent extra money on the hybrid model and feel misled. Unfortunately, Toyota corporate has not been helpful in resolving this issue. We hope that they will improve their customer service in the future. If you are considering purchasing this car, be aware that the MPG rating may not be accurate. We have decided to switch to a Tesla and will not be purchasing another Toyota in the future.
Ruben Wisoky 2024-05-25
I experienced a sudden drop in mpg from 40s to low 30s. Despite taking it to two different dealers, who found nothing wrong, I remain confident that there is an issue with my vehicle. As these hybrids require specialized knowledge, I will seek out a qualified mechanic to address the problem. While I am disappointed with my current situation, I am encouraged by the advancements in cold weather batteries in newer Toyota hybrids. I am confident that Toyota values its customers and will continue to improve their products.

I've always known Toyota to be one of the most long-lasting cars that can go for more than 200k miles with a strong and durable engine. When I first saw this car, it seemed okay for me to purchase, but I was still looking for a car that was better than this. That's when I took the 16 Camry Hybrid SE for a test drive and it was very quiet and smooth. I decided to purchase this car and drove it on my way. However, after a few months, my car's performance decreased and the seats became uncomfortable. I also experienced other issues with my car. When I drove at 65 mph or 70 mph on the highway, the engine did not perform well and lacked enough push on uphill roads, which resulted in more gas consumption. The suspension was also awkward and slow to adjust to cold/hot conditions. I believe the new 2018 model is a little better in terms of performance and looks, but I have not test-driven it yet. If it's the same as my current car, then I would never buy a Toyota again.
Jerrod Klein 2024-03-18
I owned a 2001 Camry XLE for 15 years and never had any problems with it. However, I found the 2006 Corolla too small and cramped for my liking, so I traded it in for a 2011 Highlander. Unfortunately, I experienced some issues with the Highlander due to cheap parts. Despite this, I decided to purchase a 2016 Camry Hybrid SE because of Toyota's reputation for reliability. However, I have noticed some squeaking and rattling inside the cabin, and the performance is not as good as I had hoped. The dealership technicians informed me that the dashboard parts are made of plastic, which is a common issue. I considered trading the car in for a Lexus, but the resale value was lower than expected. Although I used to love Toyota, I have been disappointed with the quality of their materials. I had to change my tires before 25k miles, and unfortunately, there was no warranty on them. The same thing happened with my 2011 Highlander.
