Each tile shows the median mileage at which that model year’s failures were reported. The 2002 reports latest and the 2005 earliest, but part of that gap is age: the 2002 has had 3 more years on the road to accumulate mileage.

Owners filed 3,409 complaints with NHTSA about the 2002–2006 Toyota Camry; throttle and speed control leads with 34% of them, and half of the 2,513 that record an odometer reading came by 46,000 miles. A count like this can’t rate reliability on its own: NHTSA records what owners chose to report, not how many of each car were sold.
Failures are spread across the mileage range, with the middle half between 16,000 and 87,000 miles.

How many miles does a 2002–2006 Toyota Camry last?
Complaint records can’t measure how long a car lasts; they show when reported failures happened. On the 2002–2006 Toyota Camry, half of the 2,513 complaints that record an odometer reading were filed by 46,000 miles and 90% by 130,000 miles.
168 reports came in past 150,000 miles and 56 past 200,000 — each one proof that a Camry reached that mileage, not that it failed there.

System by system, in words
Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 46,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.
Throttle and speed control accounts for 34.0% of complaints (1,158 reports, 894 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 40,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 16,000 and 70,000 miles.
A single system taking 34.0% of all complaints is a concentration worth noting. It means that for this generation, most of what owners reported came back to one area of the car rather than being distributed across many small faults.
The hydraulic brake circuit accounts for 11.3% of complaints (386 reports, 258 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 15,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 4,000 and 47,000 miles.
The airbag system accounts for 10.7% of complaints (364 reports, 250 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 60,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 29,000 and 113,000 miles.
The engine and its cooling system accounts for 8.6% of complaints (293 reports, 217 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 74,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 40,000 and 100,000 miles.
The steering accounts for 8.1% of complaints (275 reports, 220 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 43,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 17,000 and 76,000 miles.
The transmission and driveline accounts for 7.6% of complaints (258 reports, 191 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 31,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 1,500 and 81,000 miles.
Known problems with the 2002–2006 Camry
Engine 2002–2006
2AZ-FE cylinder head bolt threads strip in the aluminum block, causing head gasket leaks and coolant loss; Toyota issued a warranty enhancement and revised the block with larger head bolts.
Engine 2002
Tail end of the 1MZ-FE oil gelling program (engines built through 2002).
Airbags 2002–2006
Takata front airbag inflator propellant degradation; large-scale recall coverage across this generation.
Before you buy a 2002–2006 Camry: the 3-minute check
Generated from 2,513 mileage-tagged complaints, 11 recall campaigns, 3 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.
- Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 11 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
- Check engine on 2002–2006 cars. 2AZ-FE cylinder head bolt threads strip in the aluminum block, causing head gasket leaks and coolant loss; Toyota issued a warranty enhancement and revised the block with larger head bolts.
- Check engine on 2002 cars. Tail end of the 1MZ-FE oil gelling program (engines built through 2002).
- Check airbags on 2002–2006 cars. Takata front airbag inflator propellant degradation; large-scale recall coverage across this generation.
- Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
- End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.
For a buyer, failures on this generation are spread rather than concentrated: the middle half falls between 16,000 and 87,000 miles, with a median of 46,000. There is no single mileage threshold to watch, which means condition and maintenance records are more informative than the odometer.
On inspection, throttle and speed control and the hydraulic brake circuit are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. The hydraulic brake circuit in particular shows a median failure mileage of 15,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.
None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

2002–2006 Toyota Camry recalls (11)
NHTSA records 11 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.
The campaigns cluster around equipment (3), the airbag system (3), seats (2). Several campaigns against one area can mean a remedy that did not hold, or separate defects in parts filed under the same heading; the summaries below name each defect.
Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.

These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.
