Default Trouble spots on 08-10's ?

After thorough evaluations I decided to make my next car a Camry.
I'm looking at picking up an 08-10 XLE V6.

Now while I realize every used car requires a good overall inspection, I was just curious if 08-10 Camry's have any known "trouble spots" to add to my closer inspection list?

I did read a few places about the passenger side oil line (was rubber and then they upgraded it to metal) that a few people had issues with, so I know that's one item on the list for closer inspection.

Anything else - in particular?

you need to specify engine.
rattles and squeaks due to ill choice of plastic fasteners. AND VERY ANNOYING. they even have repair kits, so massive issue was.
high window noise. very expensive windshield to replace. it's some special glass/trilam.
water pumps going bad below 50K miles.
btw, there's website that has every year issues listed per make/model. wish I remembered the name. 2 word name, 2 names... has evals for everything, sorta like Consumer Reports...

Check posts at the Toyotanation website for the make and years of cars interested in, this will give you an idea of what goes wrong.
