RED AIRBAG ALERT INDICATOR HAS COME ON. THE CAR WAS NOT IN MOTION. THE ENGINE WAS OFF, AND WHERN I STARTED IT, THE LIGHT CAME ON!.
FOR SOME TIME MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN STICKY AND GLOSSY. THE REFLECTION AT NIGHT IN ADDITION TO GLARE FROM ONCOMING CARS IS BLINDING AND A SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE TRIED NUMEROUS PRODUCTS IN AN ATTEMPT TO CLEAN/REMOVE THIS TACKINESS. NOTHING WORK. ALSO THE PASSENGER VISOR "HINGE" SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN HOT AND BENT THAT I CAN'T TO REATTACH THE SOR. CURRENTLY IT KEEPS DANGLING. MY VEHICLE IS/WAS STATIONARY.
EVERY SINCE I PURCHASE THIS CAR IT HAS BEEN USING EXCESSIVE OIL.EVER SO OFTEN THE BLINKING OIL LIGHT WOULD COME ON CAUSING ME TO STOP AND POUR OIL IN.ZTHIS HAS OCCURRED IN MOTION AND ON CITY HIGHWAYS.
ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO ZERO AT SAME TIME ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS LIT UP ON DASH. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, ABS AND BRAKE DASH LIGHTS TURNED OFF AT THE SAME TIME SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE JUMPED BACK TO CURRENT SPEED INDICATION. NO LOSS OF POWER EITHER WAY, BUT HAS BEEN CYCLING BETWEEN FOR THE PAST WEEK. NOT LIMITED TO SPECIFIC SPEEDS OF AMOUNT OF TIME ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING, AS IT OCCURS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND VARIOUS TIMES.

THE CAR KEEPS CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL. I HAVE TO PUT IN NEW OIL ABOUT EVERY 1,000 MILES.
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS PREMATURELY DETERIORATING EXTENSIVELY, WHICH COULD AFFECT OTHER COMPONENTS. IN ADDITION, THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V491000 (VISIBILITY).

I HAVE A 2007 CAMRY WITH 125,000 MILES. IT IS IMPECCABLY CARED FOR, IT HAS NEW FRONT AND BACK BRAKES, NEW ROTORS, NEW BATTERY AND NEW TIRES. THE PROBLEM STARTED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO IN APRIL 2017. WHILE DRIVING MODEST SPEEDS ON REGULAR ROADS, THE BREAK AND ABS WARMING LIGHTS COME ON, AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AND GOES TO 0, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS MOVING. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO RELATION TO SPEED OR ROAD CONDITIONS. ALSO, I LIVE IN SUNNY CALIFORNIA, AND NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE HAD TO USE THE ABS SYSTEM FOR ANY BREAKING. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THIS IS AN ABS BRAKE CONTROL MODULE PROBLEM, WHICH WILL COST ABOUT $2500 TO FIX. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!! I AM RETIRED AND CANNOT AFFORD THIS KIND OF EXPENSE!!! I HAVE BEEN DRIVING TOYOTAS FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM OR EVEN HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. MY PRIOR CAMRY LASTED FOR 14 YEARS AND 200,000 MILES AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. TOYOTA TRULY NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR AT LEAST TELL ALL FUTURE CAMRY BUYERS TO BE PREPARED FOR A $2500 - $5000 EXPENSE IN THE FUTURE. IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I WOULD NEVER HAVE BOUGHT IT!! *JS
I BROUGHT MY CAR IN 2015 AND WHEN I TOLD THE PERSON AT MECHANICSVILLE TOYOTA THAT MY BRAKES WERE MAKING A NOISE THEY INFORMED ME TO BRING TO THE SHOP. WHEN I DID THE MECHANIC'S STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. AND FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS THEY HAVE TOLD ME NOTHING WRONG AND NOW EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH THAT IS WRONG. ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I SPOKE TO AM ANGER THE SAME THINS I STATED WAS WRONG WITH IT IS NOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THE ABS ACUATOR...
THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS MELTING AND HAS TAKEN ON A VERY STICKY AND SHINY APPEARANCE. EVERY LITTLE THING STICKS TO THE DASH AND IT CAN'T BE CLEANED. NOT ONLY CAN'T IT BE CLEANED, IT ALSO CREATES A LARGE DANGEROUS GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING IN THE DAY.

MY ABS DOESN'T WORK IN MY CAR AND CAUSED ME TO HAVE ACCIDENT. IT WAS SNOWING AND I BEGAN SLIDING , WHEN I SLAMMED ON MY BREAKS THE CAR SPUN AROUND AND HIT A POLE . IF ABS WAS WORKING THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED . THE BREAKS WOULD HAVE PUMPED AND GRADUALLY CAME TO A STOP .
VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, APPROACHING FREEWAY RAMP WHEN SUDDENLY THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. GOOD WEATHER CONDITIONS, APPROXIMATELY 11:00 A.M., 04/13/17. FORTUNATELY THE INSIDE SHADE PANEL WAS CLOSED.
I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2007TOYOTA CAMRY DECEMBER 2016 AND EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT, IT HAS BEEN CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL. IT WOULD BURN MY FULL TANK OF OIL AT AROUND 1K-1.2K MILES AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. I,'M AFRAID THAT THIS MUCH OIL CONSUMPTION WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO WRECKING THE MOTOR AND PROBABLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. TOYOTA HAD A WARRANTY FOR THIS TYPE OF ISSUE BUT IT EXPIRED LAST YEAR. AND I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THIS UNTIL JUST RECENTLY SEARCHING FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IN WHICH I WAS NOT AWARE OF IN THE FIRST PLACE, THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THIS WOULD BE A RECALL.
I HAD TO BEAK REALLY HARD ON MY CAR WHEN I GOT CUT OFF AND NOW I HAVE A "CHECK VSC SYSTEM AS WELL AS TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON SINCE THE HARD BREAK.
MY CAR IS DYING WHEN IS RUNNING AND THE STEERING WHEEL GET LOCK AND DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I GO EVERYTHING TURNS OFF SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT IT COUD BE BECAUSE DOESN'T SHOW ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING PLEASE HELP

WE OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD IT REGULARLY SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS PURCHASED FROM. AROUND 145,000 MILES, IT STARTED BURNING OIL RAPIDLY, AROUND 1 QUART EVERY 1,500 MILES. I STARTED RESEARCHING AND FOUND THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS SITUATION BUT, UNLESS THE ISSUE HAPPENS WITHIN 100,000 MILES, WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. THIS NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED AS THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLE.
ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO ZERO AT SAME TIME ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS LIT UP ON DASH.

TOYOTA RECALL FOR MELTING /CRACKED/STICKY DASHBOARD ZE6 WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTIFICATION. 2 YEARS AGO TALKED TO A DEALER IN PLANO TX(TOYOTA PLANO) 1001 PLANO PKWY PLANO TX 75093 -- STILL NO WORD/FEED BACK ON THE REPLACEMENT OR CHANGING THE PART IN QUESTION
THE SHORT CIRCUITING OF THE ABS ACTUATOR HAS HIT ME TOO. THIS HAPPENED ON 03/22/2017 TO MY 2007 CAMRY LE. IT FIRST CAME UP WHEN I WAS WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME UP AND EVEN WHEN THE CAR STARTED MOVING, THE SPEEDOMETER WASN'T MOVING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS GOING TO COST ME $2500. I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND ALMOST HALF OF THE CAR'S WORTH ON REPLACING THIS PART WHEN I WON'T BE SURPRISED IF ANOTHER PART BLOWS UP. LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2007 CAMRY MODEL. I AM SURPRISED THAT TOYOTA IS NOT EXTENDING THE WARRANTY OFFERED TO THE HYBRID MODEL TO THE NON HYBRID ONE. THIS IS INDEED A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED. OR IS IT GOING TO TAKE A FEW ACCIDENTS BEFORE TOYOTA ACCEPTS ITS FAULT. FUEL GAUGE, TACOMETER, SPEEDOMETER DON'T WORK NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE14001 COVERS JUST HYBRID MODEL HOWEVER THE IT'S THE SAME SAME PART: BRAKE ACTUATOR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY CE WITH THE 2.4L 4 CYLINDER ENGINE IS CONSUMING ENGINE OIL AT AN EXCESSIVE RATE. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING TOYOTA FACTORY "EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST", AND SHOWING LOW OIL ON DIPSTICK. ON LINE RESEARCH HAS INDICATED MANY OWNERS LEARNING EITHER THEIR DEALER OR TOYOTA, OR BOTH ARE HESITANT OR REFUSING TO PERFORM CORRECTIVE ACTION AT NO COST TO THE CURRENT OWNER. ON LINE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THIS COMPLAINT SHOULD BE FILED WITH YOUR AGENCY ALONG WITH TWO OTHER ENTITIES INVOLVED IN MONITORING TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY AND TOYOTA DEALER RESPONSE AND REMEDIAL ACTION.
I HAVE AN EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM SO ON MARCH 2016, I GO TO THE DEALER TO CHECK AND SAID THAT MY CAR PASS THE TEST WITHOUT ANY SUGGESTION TO FOLLOW ON, I STILL HAS THIS PROBLEM AND EVEN MORE SERIOUS SO I GO BACK TO CHECK THEN THE DEALER SAID ONCE PASS IS NOT THEIR ISSUE ,I WONDER WHAT IS THE STANDARD THE PASS OR NOT PASS AND I CALL THE MAIN TOYOTA OFFICE TO ASK FOR HELP AND THEY SAID ,I CAN ASK FOR THE SECOND TEST BUT I JUST PASS THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT IS JUST PASS HALF A MONTH AGO. MY QUESTION IS I KNOW MY CAR HAS THE PROBLEM BUT I HAS NO SUGGESTION WHAT TO DO AND THEY KEEP DELAY THE CARE OF MY CAR UNTIL THE WARRANTY IS GONE . ACTUALLY MY FIRST APPROACH THIS PROBLEM IS STILL UNDER THE WARRANTY PERIOD BUT THAT IS NOT COUNT?? I DO NOT TRUST TOYOTA CAR ANY MORE AND I AM SO WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF EVERYDAY WHILE I DRIVING THIS CAR. MY CAR IS JUST 10 YEARS PASS AND DRIVING ONLY 97320MILEAGES WHEN I ASK THEM ABOUT MY WORRY SECOND TIME. HOPE ANY GOOD SUGGEST AND HELP FROM YOU OTHERWISE I NEED TO GIVE UP MY CAR.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED A FEW YEARS AGO. IT HAS HAD A HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION THE ENTIRE TIME. IT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY AGGRAVATING AND COSTLY PUTTING OIL IN THE CAR WEEKLY. AS A SINGLE PARENT, I DIDN'T TAKE THE CAR TO BE FIXED BECAUSE OF FINANCIAL REASONS. I'M JUST FINDING OUT ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE TIME HAS PASSED FOR ME TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE WARRANTY. TOYOTA KNOWING ABOUT THE ISSUE MAKES IT EVEN WORSE. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL INSTEAD OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS CONSIDERING BUYING A NEW TOYOTA UNTIL I READ THIS. THIS MAKES ME DISTRUST TOYOTA BECAUSE OF THE UNDERHANDED WAY THEY'RE TREATING THEIR CUSTOMERS ABOUT AN ISSUE THEY KNEW ABOUT.
OIL CONSUMPTION IS REALLY BAD. 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 200-300 MILES. NO VISIBLE OIL LEAKS UNDER CAR.
THE CAR USING 1QT OF OIL EVERY 300 MILES , TOYOTA RAN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST , TOLD ME NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR , THE CAR STILL USING THE SAME AMOUNT OF OIL .
AFTER TOYOTA COMPLETING AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST THEY INFORMED US THEY ADD 1 QT OF OIL AND THEN MEASURE HOW LOW IT WAS AFTER THE ADDED OIL IN THE 1200 MILE TEST AND CONCLUDED THE 1/2QT LOW WAS NOT ENOUGH TO WARRANT REPAIRS TO THE ENGINE, KNOWING THEY HAVE A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE PISTON RINGS IT WAS ACTUALLY 1 1/2 QT LOW IN TOTAL AND THEY WONT FIX THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT COULD COST US IN THE AREA OF 3-4,000$
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. AFTER DRIVING AND PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE TO FIND THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,215.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
