My wife and I purchased 2014 Toyota Camry SE and now just only 6000+ miles on it and couple of weeks ago we noticed bad smell coming out of the AC.

We will be taking our car to the dealership tomorrow for cleaning.... It is frustrating since it is a brand new car,and we are all suffering from allergies.
Whenever I start my car in the morning or when leaving from work, my A/C has a strong musty, moldy odor. It slowly dissipates as I drive (and switch to non recirculate). I haven't had the car but 4 months, but the odor is getting worse and worse.... I live in South Florida where the humidity is high, but never expected this!
View 14 RepliesI bought a New Toyota Camry in November of 2012. It is a 2012 model. Since we bought the car in November we rarely ran the AC. Well summer is in , and we recently began running the AC on a daily basis. About a month ago we began having a foul/musty odor coming out of the AC. We brought it to the dealer twice.
The second time we brought it back, the dealer told me that they believe the problem is my dogs.Because there was a very minimal amount of hair on the seat covers. Rat terrier and jack Russel. They are white and I noticed the hair thing after the first ride with us. So they do not ride in the car anymore. What upsets me the most is the fact the dealer wants to charge me to take the AC apart and clean it.
Told me the only reason they could account for the odor is pet dander. They did flush the ac through the drain hole and installed a charcoal filter. Same thing it lasted about 1 week. Is there a simple resolution to this? I am at wits end. Because it has under 10 K miles, I do not feel I should have to run the heater or do anything to get rid of the odor. It is hot enough here in Fl.
I can't find the button to reset the TPMS light on my dash. It's not even in the glove compartment.
View 7 RepliesI just bought a 2014.5 Camry SE and the day I drive it off the lot I noticed it shaking at around 40mph. I made an appt. fort the following week and they said the found all 4 tires had flat spots so they replaced all with 4 new tires. Well, about a week later the shaking started again. Now it's worse than before, especially at higher speeds. I dropped it off today.
View 14 RepliesFirst of all this is my first Lexus so I don't know if this is normal or not. There is this empty road where I like to go fast just before I get to my house. However when I do decide to have some fun, when I get home and put the car in the garage, there is this unpleasant odor coming from the car but I don't know where. Also I am just at 9,000 miles right now and its a 2014 is250 F sport. Any inputs?
View 2 RepliesI used to drive a manual shift Honda Accord. When I was starting the car on snow, I often put the car in 2nd gear, and it was much less likely for the wheels to spin. I now have a 2014.5 SE. I believe that older generation Camry has a switch that allows the car to be start in the 2nd gear, but it seems that the feature is gone with the 7th generation. Is that true?

View 3 RepliesSo does the 2014 have the option on the radio to check the tire pressure my grandparents 2012 does but mine does not?
View 13 RepliesI just got a new 2014 camry LE. Overall it is what it is and I am very happy with it. However one thing that is got me annoyed is that there is a hiss coming from ALL speakers. Even if the radio is off the hiss is there. Basically after some experimentation, any time the head unit is completely booted up the hiss is coming from the speakers.
To make sure it is not just my car, I checked out a few more LE from the dealer and they all hiss from the speakers when the head unit is on.
Havn't had a chance to get off work to go to the dealer yet but a buddy at work tells me his older Bimmer had a similar issue. For him, it turned out to be the amp was set to max so that max volume would be achieved. For him he was able to adjust it.
Do the Camry's have a similar adjustability? I'm willing to sacrifice sound level for no hiss.
The Sonata offers a lot of bang for the buck and a great interior. How woukd you compare the Sonata with the Camry?
View 14 RepliesI just did a drain and refill method on my 2014 Camry SE last weekend. However, after measured and calculated, I took out 2qts 1.5oz, but I only pumped in 1.95 qts. So, now the fuild is about 2oz off. Later, I took about 100 miles trip, car shifted fine.
I planted to do a drain and refill again next week. This time, I think I will carefully measure how much fluid is out then pump in the same + 2oz.
I still not sure if that enough, my question is: Can I buy a thermal gun and then measure the temp of the transmission pan, then perform checking fluid? Should it correct?
I have a problem with my 2014 camry. Yesterday out of nowhere, my dome lights wouldnt shut off.. I checked all the doors, made sure they are all shut.. but no luck.
View 5 RepliesJust got a new Camry SE with the 2.5L. Seems like the engine has a bit of a whine to it at start up and a bit less after warm up. Not used to hearing that. Is it common on these? This is my first Toyota purchase.
View 14 RepliesI have a 2014 Camry LE with 16 inch steelies, and have found a set of 2013 Avalon 17 inch wheels/tires on CL. Have a few questions :
1) Will the Avalon 17 inch wheels fit my camry?
2) Can the current lug nuts be reused, or do I need to get new lugs?
3) Can the current TPMS sensors be transferred to the Avalon set
I bought New Camry 2014.5 LE. Most of time, my wife drives for short commutes to train stations and work. Its been 1.5 year and it still has less than $10K miles.
I feel it hesitates when I push the accelerator all the way quickly, then jerks. The engine revs up the moment I step on the accelerator but it hesitates before it actually picks up speed. If I step on the gas gradually, its fine.
I have Rav4 (4 Cyc) which does not behave this way.
I took the dealership and asked about it. The tech says it is drive by wire system so unlike old cars, which respond very quickly, may hesitate and considered normal. Some online article says the car's software learns a driving habit so it depends on the driver too but many other postings also suggest its a software glitch.
Is it really normal, a feature of 6 speed or is there a technical service bulletin addressing this issue so that I can show to the tech? Eco mode is turned off.
I have about 3,000 miles on my 2014 Camry and the tranny just doesn't "feel" right. Seems clunky and the car lurches a bit when you need to accelerate up a hill. I traded in my 2007 Camry for this car and the '07 performed far better.
View 14 RepliesI have a 2014.5 Camry SE but I'm having a few issues that I'd like to address.
My issue is, when I hook up the phone to the car's bluetooth, the car does not let me switch songs or pause/play from the car's audio system, the only thing I can do from the steering wheel or audio interface is fast forward or rewind the song but not skip the track or pause.
My second issue so far is that I can't seem to find how to set the car to turn on the map lights when the doors open. I checked the manual and it tells me that there's a switch to flip, like the dome lights in the back, right next to the map lights but there is no switch and therefore no visible way to change this. I've gone through the settings of the vehicle and I've gone to the light settings but there is nothing in the settings about it.
The MPG display on my new 2014 Camry XLE displays 1.5mpg higher than actual MPG. This is based on the first 9 tanks (Toyota Dealer reset the trip mileage during tire rotation). Mostly highway type of driving (backroads of the desert).
Note that the next three tanks-fulls the MPG display accuracy is better. Maybe the display is more accurate once the car get broken-in.

2014 Camry XLE. When you press the close button, sometimes the sunroof will make it about halfway and then go back open. However, if you press the close button quickly several times and sort of shimmy the sunroof closed, it will close. Nothing is obstructing it.
