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
*
My car the rattling sound come out intermittently when it started around few hundred km become consistent when the milleage reach 1k km. i send in and sc can hear the sound easily. But now after fix, the sound still there but not consistent. I am going to send in again next week, my worry is like what happened to u, the loose part sound didnt occur when they test drive my car. Hhaaiizzz. Even my 14 years old wira also dont have this problem.

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

Can u see the water bubbles in the top edges?[attachmentid=4684579]

Actually i will not accept it as design issue. Are you going to umw sc? How could someone design a rear light that water can leak into it? It is a brainless explaination. If this is really a design issue, then this will be my last car from toyota/umw, cause they couldnt get the rear light right, how could they get others more complex component right?

If you have found a solution please inform us. The SC supervisor told me if I am unhappy I can file a complaint which I did. But he offered no remedy because he said it is the same with all other cars of this model.
*
So far my car havent got the rear light water leak issue. The solution should come from umw since this is wellknown issue to them. now it is telling us to accept it and they wont do anything about it. Haaizzz. Right now only the rattling sound problem from dash board that is bothering me now.

How many of u already have this water leak issue? How long does it take for issue to appeared?

nkhong,

Try ntfs, no luck, it said USB cannot use. So format to FAT32, mp3 song no problem, but video format cannot recognized Try both MP4 and WMV video format also cannot, suspect codec issue. The user manual said FAT16 or 32, and format MP4, WMV, these seem not working.....
*
Oh, ok. Sorry, i only remember one of format didnt works. Not sure which one.

Ya, most properly codec not support, maybe can just support dvd.

Planning to buy the Camry Hybrid 2.5 this year.
Any main problem or issue encounter by this Hybrid beside the rattling sounds from Dashboard, Rear seat, door, etc... and the water leak into rear lamp?

How is the maintenance fees for this hybrid ? Any full schedule maintenance price is thankful and helpful for a reference here.

All the camry Sifus and Owners please share your precious thoughts and experiences here. Thanks a lot for helping !!

I wish i have never bought this car. Overall the car technology is good, but rattling sound from front dashboard, plasticky sound from side when brake, go over bumper, uneven sound and rattling sound also from behind. It is stressful to drive with all these sound, sometimes i try volumn the music, they still can slip into my ears. It is worse than my 15 years old wira. I have went to sc for rattling sound issue for at least 6 or 7 times, alot times wasted. It is really a shame when driving with my friends, they said wow , your car is 170k and this kind of quality.

If u can bear with strange sound while driving u may buy it, who know u are the lucky one and u might get the new camry without these problem. The idea of selling it off have flash a few times in my head. In future no more umw ckd car for me.

Sorry to hear that for the rattling sound issue. Not only Camry Hybrid CKD, Honda Accord CKD even some CBU cars have the rattling sound issue. It is just how serious is the issue. It is very annoying when the D-segment car is selling at 170k with such poor build quality. However there are still a lot of Camry Hybrid on the road. Thanks for your precious thought sharing. Despite the rattling sound problem try to enjoy this car as much as possible. Undeniably this is one of the best price value car in this segment.  :thumbsup:

My friend and ex boss have previous generation camry that it is so nice to travel. Quiet and comfortable. That make me wanna get a camry, but pre facelift model outlook is unacceptable to me. This is one .... Haizz

My drive back to home town cheng ming is a disaster, rattling sound for long journey cannot be enjoy at all.

My wife is driving honda hrv ckd, her car is much much quiet than my camry. My thought is maybe honda malaysia produce more cars, they might have proper quality control and standard procedure, and maybe much better facilities to help worker to asdemble the car as compare to umw just assemble 7 or 8k car a year, they might not invest so much in their plant as compare with honda which assemble few times more than umw toyota, so honda might produce better ckd. This is just my wild thought.

I m writing this hopefully someone who plan to buy will reconsider their decision.

May i know what kinda rattling noise? So far after 5mths of ownership everything is good. Except the rear left passenger back seat is rubbing against the airvent for the hybrid battery. SC readjusted the seat and noise reduced. However, me being sensitive to noise. Applied vaseline to smooth the contact now no more squeeky sound whenever there is somebody sitting at the back left seat.
*
The dashboard fix one sound another sound come. They adjust here and there and change bracket as well. From the side i am not sure whether it is door, plastic movement sound whenever brake, or go over bump, uneven road. From back i am not sure where the sound come from, but it come and go.
