Hi folks,

I have a 2012 Camry Hybrid which I really enjoy driving. Getting 38+ mpg is not a bad deal on a large comfortable car like this.

My 3 year warranty is about up I have one 'free' oil change coming up with the dealer.

Before I do the oil change and the warranty expires, I am wondering if there are any things I should carefully check out. Any weak points or areas of early failure that might not be very noticeable at 33,000 miles but could still be fixed under warranty if I point them out to the dealer.

So far, this car has been mostly trouble free. The only problems have been two relatively minor recalls. So, it is easy to become a little over confident and think the car will never fail. Your advice is appreciated.

 

powertrain is under 5/60 000 I believe. 36 000 is bumper to bumper. Hybrid components are under 8/100 000 or 10/ 150 000 depending on state. Why worry?

 

Well, I guess anything that isn't warrantied past 36,000 miles for starters is something to be aware of in case there is a common problem with this car.

 

I do not recall any routine issues with bumper to bumper. Some had PITA with AUX jacks, but that was a handful of folks. 2012, you should not even be using it anyway, streaming instead.
Until 2010, major headache were water pumps but they changed design in 2010 and I think problem went away.
Ah, yes. Squeaks and rattles. Toyota even had a TSB and special repair kit made. That's about it.
