    Anonymous A., NY (2008 Toyota Camry LE 2.4-L 4 Cyl)

    ""Car was making noise and popped a code for an exhaust leak. Rhe flex pipe had developed a hole due to rust. I took the car to a muffler shop, who cut off and replaced the damaged area and indicated to me other areas of rust on the exhaust system that were not yet a problem, but would be in the near future.

The problem is it will work all summer, a/c not needed in winter, by spring a/c no longer cold.""

    Anonymous A., OR (2008 Toyota Camry LE 2.4-L 4 Cyl)

    "Every 2 years I need to get the freon refilled/recharged. There is a very slow leak somewhere in the system and it's not worth replacing parts. Quotes for replacing condenser, compressor, evaporator, accumulator and tubing have been more then the value of the car."

    Anonymous, WI (2008 Toyota Camry LE 3.5-L V6)

    ""A year ago the AC began to blow warm, so I got one of those recharge kits from the local car parts store. The AC continued to blow warm, only now it also made a faint hissing sound as though there was a leak. Next I took the car in to the shop, and they did not find any leaks, and recharged the refrigerant, which seemed to fix the problem. Now, a year later, the AC is blowing warm again and also making the hissing sound again, and so there must be a leak somewhere or else the system wouldn't need to be recharged again already after only a year.""
