Common problems and easy repairs on a 2012 Camry
The 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE is a relatively easy car to maintain and would be a great choice for first-time owners. All of the headlights are reliably accessible by simply reaching behind their bulb housing. The cabin air filter can be changed quickly as only two small panels need to be removed for access. The battery is also not a problem to find with bracket that’s simple to remove—even if it is in the unusual location of the trunk.
However, the 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE does have its downsides. Accessing the fog light will require the removal of the wheel well lining, which only allows for cramped access. Multiple fasteners and pieces of trunk lining will need to be removed before you can access the tail lights. The windshield wiper blades will require tools to be removed, which is an added step that other similar models won’t have.
