Hey guys,

Do u send your car to third party authorized service center or umw service center? I think send into umw sc should be better right?

Yes, i did. sent in to get it checked and fixed on monday.

Picked up back today, first everything was like good.

But after like 15km drive the rattling sound at streering/odometer came back. 

Other area rattling sound issue has been fixed though.

Will send back again tomorrow.

My Hybrid also had rattling noise on the driver side dashboard. Took it to the SC and the technician said loose bottom cover which he has push it back. Now no rattling noise but very soft plastic creaking noise only once in a while.

My thought would be the toyota hybrid should be quite mature by now. It has been in market for more than 10 years by now?

What i am more concern would be the skill level the local service center on maintaining those car for the owner. Since toyota hybrid car has been in malaysia for quite a fe years now i think shouldnt be any problem.

I would go for hybrid version since it is value for money in malaysia if compare with others model. Others model are just overprice and i wont buy.

Since the camry hybrid is ckd and very new in malaysia, we still wouldnt know what kind of issue it might created. But i believe in toyota technology and toyota is very conservative company, they wouldnt has launch a technology which is not yet proven to be realible enuf. People always bashing toyota for their old but reliable technology but i like them for not simply put a not proven tech into the car. What i can see from their previous model are all realiable car, vios, altis, camry, judging from the feedback i get from my friend that drive toyota.

About MYR 650 with shipping included as I also bought some other stuffs like this one ;

Bro, you have any idea which piece of the plastic cover the technician pushed back?

Do you mind to share some pictures to show?

Looks like there is no end to this issue yet. They clocked some 250km to get this fixed and it keeps coming back after a while.

The sound comes when you are driving on uneven/rough surface road at around 40 to 60km/h. Gonna send in again to get it check.

I was not in the work shop to witness it. The service adviser only said that the technician push back the bottom cover.
But after about 2 days, the annoying creaking plastic noise coming back again.
Will contact the service center again.

Hi, have you taken the car back to the SC. any feedback. My car looks like having the same sound. Told the SA and they say they added insulation, but still have the intermittent creaking plastic noise. I will have to take the car back in again. My old camry never had this type of problems.

Same with mine. The problem started after few hundred km and become obvious everytime go through uneven road. I sent for service yesterday and after service was so happy tot they fix the problem after short drive, the happiness was short while only and during my 30mins drive to ofis and the irritating sound still come occassionally. Need to send in again. This is really waste of time.

Haha looks like quite a lot of ppl having this prob. I heard the noise again n went back to the SC. the service guy drove with me for about 15 mins but magically no sound came out!!! After that I left the center without doing anything and after few mins drive, the sound came back!!! Sigh I'm giving up already

Need to increase my tolerance level for a while to the @#~!@$##%@ sound until my next service due.

This is why they give 10 speaker, so max out while driving  . Just kidding, why dont just send in for them to check. More people complaint might force umw to do root cause analysis.

All, just to share I added this mini TPMS panel last weekend.    

Hi Guys, I have a few questions to ask since I am considering to upgrade to this Hybrid Camry soon.

My daily travel consist a lot of short distance, KL traffic jam, stop and go situation where the average speed is always below 50km/h. There is a frequent need for me to off and on engine since I get down from my car to deliver stuffs a lot of time.

1) Up to what speed does the Camry runs in full EV mode?
(Prius C can run up till 60km/h before the engine kicks in to assist)

2) How long does the battery last when u are idling with the aircon on?
(Prius C battery can run the aircon with battery for around 10-15mins before the engine kicks in to recharge the battery)

3) How long does it takes to recharge the battery when the car is idling?
(Prius C recharges in around 5-7mins from 10% to 80% level)
