CarComplaints.com Notes: Beware of the NHTSA complaint data for the 2004 Camry. It is almost certainly misleading.

The problem with NHTSA data for the 2004 Camry is that for months on end, the news media repeatedly told the public that several Toyota models had an unintended acceleration defect, & to go to safercar.gov (the NHTSA's website) to file a complaint.

So, the NHTSA received a disproportionate number of complaints about unintended acceleration issues because of the national news media attention, to the point where their data is unreliable taken in context with any other vehicle that did not receive national news attention.

CarComplaints.com typically receives more complaints per day about vehicles than the NHTSA does, but the news media did not repeatedly say "go to CarComplaints.com to report your Camry acceleration problems" like they did about the NHTSA -- so although we have less complaint data than the NHTSA for the 2004 Camry, our data for the Camry is a far more statistically accurate representation of the Camry's reliability than what the NHTSA data shows.

I have a 2004 Camry, lE V6. It will not start. I get clicking sound but will not start. Tried to jump start the car and did not fix the problem. Also, somehow the time was reset to on the clock display. The lights and everything seems to come on when I attempt to start the car but the car won't start. Just getting clicking noise. Please help.

Thanks,

Tony W.

When the key is turned there is simply a clicking sound coming from the engine and nothing else. The problem happened this morning and we've ever had this or ay other problem before.
