  Oh what a feeling? - 2003 Toyota Camry
  By SubVet - September 22 - 2:10 am

  Have had the car little over two and a half years. Honestly the first and only one I will ever have. About every 20K have to lube steering column, have done 2 four wheel alignments, now on third set of tires. Scrubbed curb and did $1000 damage to suspension alone. Ride is fair at best. Yea, I guess I could weld the hood shut my expenses have all be under the car. Will not ever consider one again.

  Had higher expectations of the car - 2003 Toyota Camry
  By D. Grugan - August 19 - 2:00 am

  Power could be better and the gas mileage should be considering that the car requires premimum. I have a navigation system and its merely a toy unless the owner is in a position to travel to unfamiliar routes. Driver fron seat came up somewhat short on support for my long legs. Also, the power seats do not tilt back far enough for taller drivers with long legs.

  By sasha - August 7 - 10:00 am

Horrible bodyroll, jerky acceleration, average braking power and totaly looses traction and stability when driven over uneven pavement. This car was a dissssapointment.

  Toyota--a whole lotta shaking goin on! - 2003 Toyota Camry
  By MrMark - June 26 - 10:00 am

  There is a constant vibration in the steering wheel that Toyota can not fix. It feels like an alignment problem but the alignment, wheel balancing, toe-in have all been checked. Toyota is saying we just have to get used to the feel of the car. Odd that the steering wheel of our 92 Sable doesnt vibrate as much as the Toyota. Were already out looking for a new car and this on only has 2300 miles on it and weve owned it less than 8 weeks! Were very disappointed in the Toyota Camry.

  03 Camry LE Review - 2003 Toyota Camry
  By g - August 13 - 1:26 pm

  Ive had this car for 5 years and have put over 100,000 miles on it. Comfortable riding car but with a fairly generic feeling interior. Okay stereo. Not a good handling car, tends to float over the road providing a fairly vague feel. Taking my eyes off of the road to adjust the radio can result in drifting into other lane, even if just for a second; no feel of the road here. Reliability is not what I would have expected. Did sunroof cables and intake manifold at 70k ($1500). At 107k miles, now needs a new steering rack. Nice car for trips, but disappointing otherwise.

  DESPISE MY CAMRY - 2003 Toyota Camry
  By jowho - July 3 - 2:06 am

  1st day I drove it home I felt alignment problem. After 6 visits, no fix. 4th set of front tires. Toyota reps were RUDE and told me to turn up radio & ignore pulling!! Cust. svc. was NO help. Went to arbitration, waste of time. Rain pours in if window opened a crack. ABS kicks in ALL the time. Seatbelt locks up when I stretch to look for cars coming.Cant see cars coming when I turn my head. Chips EASY. I am more than disappointed. I thought Toyota had an excellent rep., and Ive been ONLY disgusted with dealership, customer service, and still having alignment problem!

  Ill never buy another one - 2003 Toyota Camry
  By Cometstorm - January 18 - 2:00 am

  The car has a significant veer/drift to the left at highway speeds. I have found that this is a very common complaint among many 2002 and newer Camry/Solara owners. I have to continually "force" the car to keep it in a straight line. On left hand highway curves, I dont even have to steer... I can just let go of the steering wheel. Numerous dealerships attempts to correct the problem have failed. I also see that there have been many complaints filed with the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration on this issue (along with my own)... Many of us can only pray for a recall....

  Extremely unhappy Camry owner - 2003 Toyota Camry
  By Nancy - December 31 - 9:40 am

  The transmission has slow response time and when slowing and gearing down the car actually lunges, the vehicle has long braking time and is very unresponsive until pedal is pressed nearly to floor and road handling and tire grip is poor. Steering wheel position is high and seats are not deep enough for comfortable ride. Lumbar on passenger seat is uncomfortable. Window and rear door posts make side viewing difficult because of width. Trunk and gas door latches are difficult to access when seat is forward for person of shorter stature. Cruise control lever and buttons are awkward and not user friendly. Center console height is too low for comfortable elbow rest during long drives.

  Really Disgusted - 2003 Toyota Camry
  By Paul - October 25 - 2:30 pm

  My 2003 Camry is my third Toyota and my last. At 55K miles, I had to replace the steering column($400+) and now at 60K, I have a slow leak in the steering seals and that requires the entire steering rack to be replaced for $1300+. Everyone says how great Toyotas are...not any more. This recent recall will send customers running away from the brand. I am done with Toyota...back to domestics!
