2007 Toyota Camry complaints

THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND SCRATCHES EASY. TOYOTA MELTING ON THE DASHBOARD.

I DISCOVERED THAT TOYOTA HAS HAD ISSUES WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IN CERTAIN MODEL YEARS. I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE WHICH WAS LISTED AS ONE OF THE VEHICLES. THIS IS MY 4TH TOYOTA OF WHICH I HAVE PUT ON OVER 1 MILLION MILES BETWEEN THESE VEHICLES. NOW WITH THIS 2007 WHICH NOW HAS 211,000 MI. I FIND I AM HAVING TO ADD OIL EVERY 1000 MI. OR THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON. I CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 3000 MI. TOYOTA TOLD ME NOTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS GIVEN EXPIRED IN OCT. 2016. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN JULY, 2015 WITH 146,000 MI. ON IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT A LETTER WAS SENT OUT IN MAY, 2015 REGARDING THIS MATTER. THAT APPARENTLY WENT TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER OR THE DEALERSHIP. NOW AFTER 4 TOYOTAS....1 MILLION MILES....THEY SAY NOTHING CAN BE DONE! I DON'T AGREE.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 155,000 MILES THAT EXCESSIVELY BURN OIL AT THE RATE OF 1 QUART PER 1000 MILES

I HAVE GONE ABOUT 2,000 MILES OF THE 5,000 MILES AN OIL CHANGE SHOULD LAST IN MY CAMRY. I CHECKED THE OIL BECAUSE WHEN DRIVING AND BRAKING HARD THE OIL LIGHT APPEARED BRIEFLY. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT APPEARED TO BE ALMOST EMPTY, I PUT 2 QUARTS OF OIL AND IT ONLY BROUGHT THE TOTAL LEVEL JUST ABOVE THE LOW LEVEL LINE ON THE DIPSTICK. THIS TELLS ME I COULD STAND TO BUY ANOTHER QUART AND PUT AT LEAST ANOTHER HALF QUART. I'VE KEPT UP WITH ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE WITH THIS CAR, HAVING JUST INSTALLED A NEW OIL PAN GASKET RECENTLY.

WHILE DRIVING SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY MOVED UP AND DOWN RAPIDLY. ABS LIGHT BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON

I AM HAVING TO ADD 1-2 QUARTS OF ENGINE OIL TO MY ENGINE 1000-1200 MILES AFTER REGULARLY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES. *TR

THE ENGINE HAS FAILED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I DID NOT KNOW THIS WAS AN ISSUE, BUT NOW HAVE BEEN TOLD I AM OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW THAT THEY WILL REPAIR. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A WINDOW.

AFTER REGULARLY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES, I AM HAVING TO REPLENISH 1-2 QUARTS OF OIL 1000-1200 MILES AFTER THE OIL CHANGE. *TR

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR CAME DOWN UN EXPECTANTLY AND BECAME A DRIVING HAZARD, IT HAD TO BE REMOVED THUS MAKING DRIVING MORE UN SAFE. I HAD TO PURCHASE A IMPROVED SUN VISOR FROM THE DEALER WHICH TOYOTA HAD CORRECTED THE FAULTY SUN VISOR THERE FORE WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, TOYOTA ALSO STARTED A SHORT TERM VOLUNTARY RECALL HOWEVER IT SEEMED TO BE AT THERE DISCRETION WHO RECEIVED THE REPAIR AND WHO DID NOT, WHAT FACTORS THEY USED TO DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN CUSTOMERS I DO NOT KNOW. IT IS MY HABIT TO ASK THE DEALER EVERY TIME I GO THERE FOR SERVICE IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS OR ADVISORIES OPEN ON MY 07 CAMRY, THEY HAVE ALWAYS SAID NO! SO APPARENTLY THEY LIED TO ME ON THIS ISSUE ANY WAY, AND I HAD NO OTHER WAY TO FIND OUT SINCE THEY DID NOT DISCLOSE IT TO THE PUBLIC. MY CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A BUSY CITY STREET GOING AROUND A TURN WHEN IT CAME DOWN AND TEMPORARY BLINDED ME. IF A PEDESTRIAN HAD HOPED OUT TO CROSS THE STREET, I WOULD OF STRUCT THAT PERSON!

MADE A 90 DEGREE TURN TO PARK CAR, CAR RAPIDLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A WALL WITHIN 25 FEET OF TURNING CAUSING AUTO BODY DAMAGE. DATA RECORDER REPORT PULLED FROM THIRD PARTY SHOWS LAST FIVE SECONDS BEFORE IMPACT AND RECORDED WITHIN .3 MILLISECONDS RPB WENT FROM 400 TO 2000 AND SPEED WENT FROM 3.7 MPH TO 9.9 MPH. TOYOTA WROTE BACK AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH CAR. IF YOU REVIEW CRASH SITE AND DISTANCE CAR TURNED TO THE BUILDING, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE THAT QUICKLY IN THAT SHORT OF DISTANCE. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET TURNING INTO A PRIVATE PARKING LOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY EQUIPPED WITH STARFIRE SOLARUS TIRES, SIZE: 215/60/16 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT. UPON INSPECTION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TREAD WAS SEPARATED FROM THE STEEL BELT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS EXCESSIVE DAMAGE DUE TO THE BLOWOUT. THE TIRE WAS NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 149,000. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *TR

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. TOYOTA WILL NOW OFFER ANY COVERAGE OR WARRANTY. ISSUE JUST STARTED SHOWING ITSELF THIS PAST FALL AND ONCE I LEARNED OF THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, TOYOTA SAID IT WAS PAST THEIR 10/31/16 DATE AND THE FACT THAT THE CARE WAS PAST THE 10 YEAR PIS DATE (BY 4 DAYS). THEY NOW SAY THIS IS A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE WITH THIS MANY PROBLEMS FOR MANY, MANY CAMRY OWNERS AND NO TYPE OF RECALL WAS EVER ISSUED. VERY FRUSTRATING AND VERY DISAPPOINTING IN TOYOTA. HAVE HAD NO OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS CAR OR WITH TOYOTA IN MY 10 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. WILL NOW NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER TOYOTA AGAIN.

KNOWN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE THAT TOYOTA HAS CANCELLED WARRANTY IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TESTING. CAR USES OVER A QUART EVERY 1000 MILES. HORRIBLE

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUR CAMRY TO WORK ON DRY CITY PAVEMENT. SHE WAS GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION (HER LIGHT WAS GREEN) WHEN SHE WAS HIT BY A CADILLAC ESCALADE. THE IMPACT WAS HARD ENOUGH IT SPUN HER AROUND ON A DRY CITY STREET AND MADE THE CAR JUMP A CURB. THE ESCALADE RAN A RED LIGHT. THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. TOYOTA SAID THEY BEHAVED AS EXPECTED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING INTO MY GARAGE AND HAD JUST BRAKE TO LET IT EASE IN. MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE, WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY REVVED AND LUNGED FORWARD. THE BRAKE WOULD NOT WORK, AND IT WAS AS IF THE CAR HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. IT HIT THE CRATE THAT WAS IN FRONT OF THE WALL, AND FORCED A BIKE RACK THROUGH THE WALL. THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY CAR WAS CRACKED IN PLACES. THE CAR THEN STOPPED. SO SCARY! I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT TALK TO ME. I NEEDED TO CALL THE CORPORATION, WHICH I DID. AFTER TWO MONTHS OF WAITING ON A DECISION, I WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR, AND THAT'S THAT. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER INCIDENTS WITH TOYOTAS JUST LIKE MINE. I AM PETRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR, AND YET I AM ALSO AFRAID TO PASS IT ON TO SOMEONE ELSE. I DON'T WANT ANYONE HURT. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA, AND THEY DO NOT RETURN MY CALLS I AM WONDERING WHAT I CAN DO. *TR

BURNING OIL AT A HIGH RATE. I HAVE TO ADD OIL EVERY 500 MILES OR SO. WE HAVE ALWAYS FOLLOWED A PLAN OF CHANGING THE OIL EVERY 3 MONTHS OR ABOUT 4000 MILES. SINCE ABOUT FEB 2016, THIS HIGH CONSUMPTION ISSUE HAS EXISTED ON THIS VEHICLE. WE'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE 2007.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. 1 QT EVERY 1000 MILES, THAT'S 5 QT PER OIL CHANGE GOING INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE LOW OIL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE OWNER OF TOYOTA'S LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN (ZE7). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED PER THE EXPIRED CAMPAIGN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 180,000.

STICKY DASHBOARD - I'VE BEEN TOLD BY A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP AT TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER (NATIONAL) TO NOT DRIVE MY CAMRY IF THE DASHBOARD CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD DO TO THE GLARE. SO ONE YEAR LATER, TOYOTA STILL HASN'T REPLACED THE DASHBOARD... 24 MONTHS AFTER THEY ANNOUNCED THE EXTENSION ON THE WARRANTY... HELP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DECLARED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

THE VALVE COVER GASKET LEAKS AUSPICIOUSLY WITHOUT KNOWING YOU ARE LOSING OIL BECAUSE THERE IS NO LEAK BELOW THE CAR. ON THREE OCCASIONS I WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE ENGINE BURNING UP WITHOUT NOTICE.

OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT THE DEALERSHIP IN MAY WHEN I STARTED NOTICING CONSUMPTION. I HAPPENED TO CHECK THE OIL A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER AND IT WASN'T EVEN TOUCHING THE STICK, SO I ADDED 2 QUARTS OF OIL AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND ASKED THEM IF THEY EVEN CHANGED THE OIL. THEY OF COURSE SAID YES AND WE KEPT NOTICING IT BURNING QUITE A BIT OF OIL. I TOOK IT TO A MY MECHANIC AND HE IMMEDIATELY KNEW TOYOTA HAD A RECALL ON THIS MODEL BURNING OIL AND ADVISED US TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO CONDUCT THEIR TEST. WE DID THE TEST WHICH WAS DRIVE IT 1200 MILES AND BRING IT BACK AND OF COURSE THEY SAID IT ONLY BURNT A LITTLE OVER A HALF OF A QUART. I HAVE BEEN PUTTING OIL IN THIS CAR MOST OF THE SUMMER SOMETIMES LESS THAN 1200 MILES WELL OVER A QUART. I HAVE READ SEVERAL BLOGS AND SEE WHERE TOYOTA HAS BEEN SUED OVER THIS ISSUE. I JUST WANT MY CAR FIXED. THANK YOU *TR

VISOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE KEEPS FALLING DOWN AND IS A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING. APPARENTLY TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. TOYOTA HAS MY UPDATED ADDRESS AND I CONSTANTLY RECEIVE NOTICES FROM TOYOTA BUT DID NOT RECEIVE THIS ONE AND THE DEADLINE FOR WARRANTY RECALL HAS EXPIRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 42 MPH, THE ABS FAILED. IN ADDITION, THE VCS AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED, AND AN ALARM SOUNDED. IN ADDITION, SMOKE APPEARED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC. WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR DIDN'T MAKE A FULL STOP. I END UP HITTING THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN MY CAR STRUCK THE VEHICLE IN FRONT, THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE AIR BAG, ABS, CHECK ENGINE, AND OTHER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT AND OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.

MY CAMRY IS HAVING EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION! I JUST WENT 2000 MILES AND I AM OUT OF OIL. TOYOTA IS SAYING MY YEAR AND MAKE SHOULD BE BURNING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000-1200 MILES AND THAT IS NORMAL. HAVE THEY LOST THERE MINDS!!! THAT IS NOT NORMAL!!!! THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THERE ENGINE. TO SAY A ISSUE IS NORMAL SHOWS THERE INTEGRITY. I DO MY MAINTENANCE WHEN I AM TO DO SO. I HAVE A SHOW CAR THAT I HAVE PUT ALOT OF MONEY IN AND NOW IM FORCED TO PAY FOR THERE MESS UPS.. *TR

VEHICLE HAS A OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE THAT HAS LEAD TO ENGINE FAILURE. VEHICLE CONSUMES OIL QUICKLY WITHOUT SIGNS OF OIL LEAK. WE CHANGED THE OIL AND DISCOVERED IT WAS USING A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL IN A SHORT TIME PERIOD. DRIVER WAS NOT AWARE OIL WAS BEING CONSUMED AT SUCH A HIGH RATE. DRIVER ONLY DISCOVERED ISSUE AFTER RECENTLY CHANGING OIL AND CHECKING IT. THE ONLY REASON WE CHECKED THE OIL IS BECAUSE WE HEARD KNOCKING SOUNDS FROM THE ENGINE. WHEN WE CHECKED THE DIP STICK IT HAD NO OIL.

SO AFTER LOVING MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY FOR MANY GOOD YEARS, MY HEARTACHE STARTED WHEN IT BEGAN USING OIL TO THE TUNE OF VISIBLE LOSS ON DIPSTICK AT 800 MILES. I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND LITTLE OR NO OIL ON THE DIP STICK SO I STARTED WATCHING IT CLOSELY. I CONFIRMED THAT MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY CAR BURNS A BIT MORE THAN 2 QUARTS EVERY 800-1000 MILES. I LATER FOUND OUT ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE BY RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM IN THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS SITE ON HTTPS://WWW.DOCDROID.NET/PEHBL1S/TOYOTA-LETTER-ZE7.PDF.HTML. I CALLED TOYOTA AND ASKED THEM ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ON MY 2AZ-FET AND I TOLD THEM I OWN 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY 4CYL LE, THEY ASKED IF I HAD RECEIVED THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE NOTICE VIA TOYOTA. I TOLD THEM I NEVER REC'D NOTICE AND WAS TOLD I WAS TIME BARRED, WAS NOT ELIGIBLE TO GET IT FIXED? MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AS THE PRIMARY COVERAGE OFFERED WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT ENDED ON OCTOBER 31, 2016 REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE AND THE SECONDARY COVERAGE WAS APPLICABLE FOR 10 YEARS FROM THE (DOFU) DATE OF FIRST USE OR 150,000 MILES, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST. MY CAR HAS DONE 158000 MILES. I NEED HELP *TR

BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE. DAUGHTER DROVE CAR AND APPLIED BRAKES QUICKLY TO STOP VEHICLE. BRAKES FELT ABNORMAL AND VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH REAR END OF ANOTHER VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET. DROVE VEHICLE AFTER COLLISION AND BRAKES SEEMED TO BE WORKING OK. 7 WEEKS LATER DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING VEHICLE AND HAD TOTAL SUDDEN BRAKE FAILURE. VEHICLE BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE TECH SAID IT WAS MOST LIKELY A BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE AND WOULD BE OVER $1000 TO REPAIR. VEHICLE BROUGHT TO PRIVATE MECHANIC FOR FURTHER ASSESSMENT. *TR

THIS VEHICLE USES AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL THAT COULD RESULT IN ENGINE FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PISTON RINGS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE DEALER MENTIONED THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, BUT THE CONTACT EXCEEDED THE EXPIRATION DATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 116,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CURVY HILL AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

DRIVING DOWN A HILL AFTER LEAVING HOME, WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE VEHICLE SWERVED BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY ALMOST CHANGING LANES. AFTERWARD, IT WOBBLED SIDE TO SIDE AND UP ROCKED UP AND DOWN AS I LIMPED IT HOME AT VERY LOW SPEED. THE LOWER RIGHT REAR CONTROL ARM, THE ONE THAT CAN BE ADJUSTED, WAS EXTENDED CAUSING THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL TO BE COCKED INWARDLY AT THE LEADING SIDE OF THE WHEEL AND TIRE. A WEEK OR SO LATER, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO LES SCHWAB TIRE CENTER, 10340 SW CANYON RD, BEAVERTON, OR 97005, (503) 643-9446. THEY REPORTED THE LONG THREADED ADJUSTING SLEEVE HAD ITS THREADS STRIPPED AND THE PART FAILED. THIS SHOP HAD LAST INSPECTED THE CAR IN AUGUST OF 2016 DURING A TIRE ROTATION. THEY PERFORMED A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PURCHASE OF A SET OF TIRES IN ABOUT PRIOR TO THAT. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE CONDITION AS I DISCOVERED IT ON MY PHONE. I CAN E-MAIL OR TEXT THEM SEPARATELY. AT PRESENT, I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DOWNLOAD THEM INTO MY COMPUTER TO INCLUDE THEM WITH THIS REPORT. I HAVE INSTRUCTED LES SCHWAB TO KEEP THE PART FOR ME. THEY WILL REPAIR AND ALIGN THE CAR TODAY OR TOMORROW. I WILL TAKE THE PART TO BEAVERTON TOYOTA FOR INSPECTION WHEN THE WORK IS COMPLETE. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT, ACCIDENT, ABNORMAL CURB CONTACT, ETC. WITH THE CAR. THE CAR'S MILEAGE IS 177+K. AFTER I DETERMINED THE CAR NEEDED REPAIR, I KEPT IT AT HOME UNTIL I COULD INSPECT IT AND DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO LES SCHWAB TODAY.

I HAVE JUST PURCHASED THE CAR ONE MONTH AGO AS A PREOWNED ONE. AFTER ABOUT 15 DAYS THE OIL LID TURNED ON WHILE I WAS MOVING TO MY SCHOOL. I FILLED IN THE CAR WITH AN ORIGINAL OIL. I CHECKED THE OIL STICK AFTER I LEFT THE CAR FOR 4 HOURS AND IT WAS AT THE MAX LEVEL. TWO WEEKS LATER, I CHECKED AGAIN THE OIL IN THE CAR USING THE OIL STICK AND IT WAS BELOW MIN TICK. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE VALVE GASKET COVER BUT THE SAME ISSUE STILL THERE. BY THE WAY, THE CAR DOESN'T SHOW ANY BLACK OR BLUE SMOKE IN THE EXHAUST AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF OIL LEAK ON THE ENGINE OUTSIDE BODY. THE CAR IS NO LONGER ON WARRANTY. I AM FRUSTERATED AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!.

ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ARE GOING ON AND OFF. ALSO, THE GAGES ARE ACTING CRAZY. WORKING SOMETIME AND NOT WORKING OTHER TIMES. THE AIR CONDITIONER IS WORKING SOMETIMES AND NOT WORKING OTHER. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ABS PUMP/MODULE! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS!!

TOYOTA WILL NOT HONOR RECALL OF BAD RINGS. HAVE WASTED MANY WORK DAYS AT DEALER SHIP. HAVE GOTTEN PROOF THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM THEY REFUSE TO HONOR EXTENSION. BURNS 2 AND A 1/4 QUARTS OF OIL IN 1100 MILES!

I DID MY MONTHLY DETAIL CLEANING AND MY CLOTH KEPT STICKING TO THE DASH AND I HAD NOT EVEN PUT ANYTHING ON IT YET. NOW THERE IS A VERY SHINNY GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD AND EVERYTHING I USE TO WIPE STICKS AND RUBS OFF THE TEXTURE.

THE QUALITY OF LOW BEAM LIGHTS FOR NIGHT DRIVING IS INSUFFICIENT FOR DRIVING. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN BAYTOWN TX AND THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS OF CLEANING THE LENSES AND REPLACING THE BULBS HAS HAD NO EFFECT. HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE. MY FIRST COMPLAINT WAS IN 2008 AND EVERY TIME I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR MAINTENANCE, ETC. MAINTENANCE. I'M AFRAID FOR MY LIFE AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS INCONVENIENT TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS. FOR COURTESY SAKE MY SPOUSE REFUSES TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS ON THE NUMEROUS FARM MARKET ROADS WE DRIVE AT NIGHT BUT I AM IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHERE THE BLACK HORSE OR COW OR GOD FORBID A PERSON WILL EMERGE. MY SPOUSE AND SONS ALL AGREE IT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ME.I WOULD GET RID OF MY CAMRY BUT I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE DASH RECALL TO HAPPEN. TOYOTA IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DEAL WITH. I DON'T KNOW HOW I CAN PROVIDE PICTURES OF THE INFERIOR LOW BEAM LIGHTING. WITH MY HEALTH ISSUES I DOUBT IF I WOULD SURVIVE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION BETWEEN OIL CHANGES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V689000 (VISIBILITY). THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

ABS ACTUATOR PROBLEM: MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS A FAILED ABS ACTUATOR. THIS WILL COST ME $2,000 TO REPLACE. THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE TACHOMETER STARTED FLUCTUATING WILDLY, SO I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 9.5 YEARS AND IT HAS ABOUT 78,000 MILES ON IT, SO I BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL PART SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER. I AM AWARE OF THE ABS ACTUATOR PROBLEMS ON THE 2007-08 CAMRY HYBRID MODELS, SO I THINK YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE ABS ACTUATORS ON THE REGULAR CAMRY MODELS TOO.

NEW WATER PUMP INSTALLED AT TIME OF PURCHASE IN 2013 AT 89K MILES. ENGINE CURRENTLY AT 151K MILES AS OF 10/2016 AND WATER PUMP NEEDS REPLACING AGAIN. ESTIMATED ~$1200+ FOR 15HRS LABOR AND PARTS.

TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON A NUMBER OF VEHICLES BECAUSE OF A PISTON RING DESIGN FLAW. LAST YEAR THEY TESTED MY 2007 CAMRY AND SAID IT WAS OK. ACTUALLY, IT BURNED 1 QUART OF OIL (I JUST FOUND OUT FROM CUSTOMER CARE) BUT TOYOTA SAYS IT MUST BURN 1.5 QUARTS OF OIL TO QUALIFY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS OK. MY OIL LIGHT WENT ON LESS THAN 2000 MILES IN TO MY LAST OIL CHANGE. THE CAR WAS 3 QUARTS LOW ON OIL! THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IT DEFINITELY HAS THE DESIGN FLAW--BUT THEY HAVE TO RUN ANOTHER TEST TO VERIFY WHAT I HAVE TOLD THEM. NOW HERE IS THE ZINGER---I HAVE ONE WEEK TO DRIVE 1100 MILES. THAT IS BECAUSE TOYOTA HAS SAID THIS RECALL ENDS THEN. SOMEHOW I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ENGINEERING DESIGN FLAW, THEIR INABILITY TO DIAGNOSE MY VEHICLE THE FIRST TIME, AND THEIR UNILATERAL SETTING OF AN EXPIRATION DATE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS FAIR OR REASONABLE. PERHAPS THEY WILL SEE THE LIGHT OR EXTEND THE FINAL DATE FOR ME? I CANNOT DRIVE 1100 MILES THIS WEEK. I WOULD IF MY SCHEDULE ALLOWED IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK INTO ANOTHER GEAR. IN ADDITION, WHILE REVERSING, THE GEAR FAILED TO CHANGE OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AGAIN TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE CONDITION CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

AFTER 1200 MILES, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO TOYOTA FOR SECOND PART OF THEIR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, AND WAS TOLD IT DIDN'T USE ANY OIL. AFTER PICKING UP MY CAR UP FROM MY TRUSTED MECHANIC (WHO SAID 2/3 OF TOYOTA'S RECOMMENDED REPAIRS TOTALING OVER $1600 WERE NOT TRUE), I WAS TOLD HE HAD TO ADD OIL B/C IT WAS LOW. THIS IS YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF TOYOTA LYING TO CUSTOMERS SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO INCUR COSTS OR ISSUE A VALID RECALL. THEY CLAIM BURNING OIL IS "NORMAL", AND ONLY IF THEIR "TEST" PROVES SO, THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PISTON RINGS - THEY ARE LYING ABOUT THESE TEST RESULTS TO AVOID HAVING TO DO THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY BOUGHT USED WITH 62,500 MILES ON OCTOBER 4, 2016. ON OCTOBER 8TH I WAS EXITING OFF THE HIGHWAY SLOWLY EASING OFF THE GAS PEDAL TO DECREASE MY SPEED AND MY CAR SHUTS DOWN!!!! STOPS RUNNING !!! I LOST THE POWER STEERING OF COURSE. DID AT LEAST TWO AND A HALF 360'S UNTIL I CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A 3 LANE ROAD. IT HAPPENED SO FAST I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I KEPT IT FROM LEAVING THE ROAD. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE FRONT END. THEIR THOUGHTS ARE IT SHUT OFF AND TO GO BUY FUEL INJECTOR THE NEXT TIME I GET GAS. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED WITH THIS HAPPENING. NOW I'M SO PARANOID ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE.

DASHBOARD IS STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND HAS A SHINY APPEARANCE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE DUE TO THE REFLECTION FROM THE SUN CREATED BY THE DASHBOARD IN THE WINDSHIELD. DASHBOARD APPEARS TO BE MELTING.
