All I can offer are my sympathies which of course is of no use to you. I hope you get this resolved to your satisfaction.

I wanted a XLE but since they all came with a pano roof, I decided to get a SE instead.

 

Personally, they should replace car for you. I'd insist on it.
Also, it's unheard of. Never heard of anyone having such issue even on cars with hundreds of thousands of miles.

 

I have a 2023 XSE V6 and the Pano roof freaks me out when I hear they are about 10k and major surgery to replace. It's probably been opened less than 2 dozen times-most of which were in the first year of ownership. Now, I'll occasionally flip up the rear but that's it.

 

That was the second time opening the roof. Dealership called today to inform me that the entire panoramic roof needs replaced. Parts on order without an estimate of delivery. unreal.

 

Amazing how the top company for reliability didn't do enough testing before selling cars with this inept option. Didn't think this would happen in 2025.

 

The very reason I avoided the XSE and XLE. Nope, just no thank you. Had on a few cars - never used or needed. It would be nice if you could just pick and choose what you want in a car and they build it for you, that’d be awesome.

 

Same reasoning for me when I was comparing trim levels. I liked the idea of being under $30k OTD for a new Camry without a lot of the annoying stuff (leather seats & driver monitoring camera) or the expensive features that make the vehicle less reliable (sunroof, panoramic moonroof, low profile tires with larger wheels, etc)

 

I definitely wanted all the trim features of the fully loaded XSE, EXCEPT for the panoramic moonroof. This to me is my biggest worry with my XSE. However, here in Canada, the XSE only comes fully loaded. There are no other XSE choices so if you get the XSE, you get everything that comes in the US Premium Plus Package (plus more). The only way not to get everything is not to get the XSE. I would have preferred the Prius approach which seems like a decent compromise for the mainstream, which is a moonroof that doesn't open.

@Hawkhound, let us know how much it ends up costing for the replacement.

 

At some point we have to admit this a predominantly a Toyota problem. You don't hear about wide spread issues with pano roofs from other makes despite the fact that all of them now offer it on some of their models. Toyota has been having issues with the pano roof in the Camry since 2018 and still can't seem to get it right.

 

No, the other brands you read about engines burning oil, transmission failures, etc.

 

Warranty

 

Very troubling to hear this, and I’m sorry you are having to deal with it. I picked up my XSE with Premium Package this past Memorial Day. I’ve opened the sunroof twice and it sounds very clunky like something may be in a bind. On my prior vehicle which was a CR-V hybrid touring, the sunroof was very smooth, but I rarely used it preferring to just open the shade. I will likely just utilize the shade on my Camry as it is a major ordeal to get fixed.

I also find the tilt feature useful to exhaust hot air when first driving in hot weather.

 

What preventative maintenance might be possible? This potential problem is certainly scary to me! bob

 

Don’t ever open it. Problem averted. 😂

 

Sunroofs are delicate and tricky. I hope the warranty covers everything. I prefer no sunroofs, but I can't blame you for wanting one

 

 

SUPERSONIC RED W/19” Blk & Smoke-Gray Alloy’s.

 

Just pick up my 2025 Supersonics Red XSE and there was a strange rattle noise coming the roof, took in for service and now waiting for the headliner to be replaced.

 

Congrats on the new ride, but very sorry to hear about the headliner and unusual noises.
I drove my wife’s car yesterday and it was quite a pleasant experience, as it’s been a while since I last drove a Camry, my last time was when I ended a 2018 leased Camry XSE, Ruby Flare Pearl, now on my second Venza (‘21 & ‘24). This is her 3rd Camry in a row, always the SE trim level bc the price was right, she’s retired and couldn’t justify the cost for all the bells and whistles. But this time she got lucky and for a slight bump, $40. more per month she was driving away with a sweet new Camry. Now she can really appreciate those extra features that I take for granted and used to rib me about buying a TOTL trim level.
I just hope the Toyota reliability we expect with the Camry is still solid and these bugs/issues are far and few between.
Good luck and hope your gremlins get sorted quick.
