TX | 11/19/09 | 4.00 | CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN A NAGGING PROBLEM TO RESOLVE | 2002 | Donna R. | PRETTY PRAIRIE
KS | 11/10/09 | 5.00 | Most solid, dependable car I've ever had. 175,000 miles and no major repairs...still going strong! | 2002 | Jacquelyn C. | MESQUITE
TX | 09/20/09 | 4.00 | I have had to replace the brake pads 3 times since I bought the car. Had to have the rotors turned once and then replaced. I am 2 years out from the replacement of the rotors and I hear the warning squeal on my pads again. Brake pedal is very low and when I release it I hear a squeak. Both driver and passenger door handles broke in half and had to be replaced. Over all I like the car. | 2002 | John F. | BALLWIN
MO | 09/02/09 | 2.00 | catalytic converter and transmission | 2002 | Don K. | NORTHRIDGE
CA | 08/27/09 | 4.00 | SE model, had braking/steering wheel shake at 35 mph; at 20k miles, Toyota replaced complete front brake system; pads/rotors/calipers. fixed problem for next 30k miles; problem is back; new pads helped but did not fix problem. | 2002 | June M. | LITTLE ROCK
AR | 07/25/09 | 4.00 | I have had to replace headlight and tailight bulbs numerous times. The last time I took it to Toyota they said the wiring joint (or plug) in the tailight needed to be replaced because it had arced and burnt out.
I've heard this is a common problem for this year model but have not received a recall notice. | 2002 | Kristen D. | LEVITTOWN
PA | 07/14/09 | 4.00 | It's a great car with a great ride, if anything goes wrong it's electrical. My family has owned one Camry or another for years and they never seem to lose power or reliability with age. | 2002 | Matthew B. | RICHMOND
VA | 07/08/09 | 4.00 | Dashboard rattles | 2002 | Ismail K. | ATLANTA

PA | 06/25/09 | 4.00 | A dull drive but a solid piece of machinery. Comfortable on long interstate drives but a real handful when the road gets twisty. | 2002 | Richard D. | ATLANTA
GA | 05/25/09 | 4.00 | catalytic converter failed twice | 2002 | William H. | ALTO
TX | 05/04/09 | 5.00 | Intermittant ac problem | 2002 | Steve I. | FRANKLINTON
NC | 05/03/09 | 2.00 | Over $2,000 in repairs with less than 100K all due to the evaporative control system. | 2002 | Murray S. |
| 04/30/09 | 3.00 | Have replaced water pump, starter, alternator, transmission and steering rack - 150000 miles - I rate this car average | 2002 | Chris F. | MENOMONEE FALLS
WI | 04/22/09 | 5.00 | electronic door locks get out of sync once in a while | 2002 | Paul K. | CLEVELAND
OH | 02/21/09 | 2.00 | Power Steering has become stiff particularly in cold weather. Steering more then a slight amount requires effort out and back to center. I would consider this a serious safety issue. It may take someone getting killed as a result of the inability to adequately steer the car to force Toyota to make a recall. | 2002 | Robert M. |
| 02/13/09 | 5.00 | Trans seems to shift up slow | 2002 | Daniel B. | NEWARK

NC | 12/17/08 | 4.00 | Dash has pulled loose around the air bag and the ac fan has quit, the light blinks. other than that the car has been great. | 2002 | Brian A. | MELBOURNE
FL | 10/21/08 | 4.00 | soft brake pedal | 2002 | John D. | ARNOLD
MD | 09/19/08 | 4.00 | I would like to know if anyone is having to replace head gasket or to repair head bolts.
My mechanic just found 2 head bolts stripped. This is UNACCEPTABLE. Paid too much money for this car to have this problem. Toyota should have had inserts in the first place for these bolts. I'm going to take legal action. Other than this MAJOR issue car is very good? It's sad Toyota skimped on such a major component in this extremely popular car. They will definitely loose alot of credibility because of this. Just like the Northstar engine. | 2002 | Douglas H. | FORT WORTH
TX | 09/14/08 | 5.00 | I own one and love it, however I think my Catalytic Converter is broken. | 2002 | Joye J. | MADISON

WA | 05/21/08 | 3.00 | I have a 2002 toyota camry.Right now i am having trouble with the a/c not coming on and the light flashing.I cleaned the cabin filter,but that did not work. I dont know much about the relay,looked at it ,but that is about it . I did notice that on the fuse box lid where it says i should have a a/c fuse located ,there is no fuse,nor does it look like it would take one there,no contacts for the fuse. | 2002 | Arthur C. | JONESBORO
GA | 05/18/08 | 3.00 | The front rotors have warped and been replace threes and have warped again. The left rear window does not operate. The door locks have stopped working. | 2002 | Russ R. | ITASCA
IL | 05/14/08 | 2.00 | 2002 Toyota Camry steering issue. The steering intermediate shaft causes severe tightness in steering. Safety issue. Schaumburg Toyota parts department said over 1000 of these parts were on back order. Sounds like a recall to me! | 2002 | Wilma G. | BETHEL

MA | 04/28/08 | 2.00 | I am really disappointed in this car. The threads holding the engine bolts in place wore out and the engine has to be replaced. I used to trust Toyotas and have driven them for years. It seems their quality is slipping alot. | 2002 | Theresa L. | ATTLEBORO
MA | 01/12/08 | 1.00 | I have 56000 miles on my 2002 Camry and am on the fourth set of brakes. The original brakes lasted only 18000 miles. Toyota certainly missed the boat on this aspect of the Camrys. | 2002 | Donald I. | PITTSBURGH
PA | 07/03/07 | 2.00 | Bad on brakes, rotors and transmissions. Had a new transmission installed at 81200. New catalytic converter installed at 82000. Many brakes and rotors over the 5 years i had the car. | 2002 | Zahir N. |
| 04/18/07 | 1.00 | Leaking anti freeze into engine due to cylinder head gasket.Had to retap and helicoil 3 head bolt threads in engine block.
Total cost of repair $2,267.34 | 2002 | Jeff C. | SAN ANTONIO
TX | 02/22/07 | 2.00 | Have had the AC compressor replaced 3 times. And had to go back to dealer multiple times for them to find problem. Also had the clutch go out at 50,000 miles. Dealer and toyota were unwilling to do cover. It is unheard of for a clutch to go that early. Had a Saturn SL that went 180,000 + on one clutch | 2002 | Julie C. | COLUMBIA
MO | 08/14/06 | 5.00 | excellent car, rides well, have been extremely pleased with the camry | 2002 | R S. |
| 03/21/06 | 4.00 | Weak points are brakes | 2002 | Dennis S. | MIAMI
FL | 02/05/06 | 5.00 | Purchased new from Maroone Toyota in Weston FL. Current mileage - 73000. Used sythetic oil since 1st oil change and waxed monthly. Our Camry looks and runs as well as the day we bought it. At 70000 I charged the AC with 1 lb. or 134A. In my opinion the Goodyear Viva tires from Walmart (third set of tires) are the best riding tires. | 2002 | John F. | CHELMSFORD
MA | 01/12/06 | 3.00 | Toyota "QUALITY" is just not there. Door handles that break, tires that wear out too soon. The paint job is poor also, scratches, and chips easily. | 2002 | James V. | CASSELBERRY
FL | 01/02/06 | 1.00 | Several people have mentioned a "surging" problem with the 2002 Camry. We had that problem and no one could find the source. Several thousand miles ago we had a different problem and they said it was the catalytic converter and it was covered by warranty and was replaced and we've never had the surging problem since. You might want to check this out on other vehicles as a source of the surging. | 2002 | Emil T. |
| 08/03/05 | 2.00 | The car begins to jurk at cruising speed. Dealer has attempted to repair problem for past 3 years. They changed EMC and reprogramed several times. Changed modules and sensors at my expense. the are trying to repair by trial and error at my expense. Will not buy another Toyota again. Worst disappointment, Toyota as a company does not care once the car is sold. Its up to the dealer.

DE | 06/23/05 | 4.00 | I'm very pleased with the Camry but several improvements could be made. Disk
brakes on all wheels, shorten brake pedal
travel and lower center of gravity for better control on abrupt lane changes,
avoidance or tight turns at higher speeds | 2002 | Alan K. | BROOKLYN
NY | 02/19/04 | 4.00 | Rides smooth and quiet. Handling is somewhat sloopy. Excellent value for the money. | 2002 | Nancy Z. | OSHKOSH

IL | 01/13/04 | 3.00 | 2 problems with costly air sensors and icing up of air intake | 2002 | Joe M. | WATERTOWN
MA | 08/08/03 | 4.00 | too much plastic being used on the interior |
