2007 Toyota Camry complaints

TOYOTA SENT ME AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST LETTER AND UPON TAKING IT TO RALPH HAYES TOYOTA TO DO THE TEST I WAS TOLD MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY. I PERFORMED THE TEST MYSELF AND FOUND IT USED ONE OR MORE QUARTS OF OIL IN THE 1300 MILES SUGGESTED IN THE LETTER. THE CAR EMITS A LARGE CLOUD OF OIL SMOKE ON MORNING START UPS.

MY VEHICLE NOT ONLY GOT AN EXTREMELY STICKY DASHBOARD BUT IT ALSO STARTED BURNING OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I HAD EVERY RECALL TAKEN CARE OF AS SOON AS I RECEIVED IT AT & ALSO KEPT UP WITH ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLE AT A CERTIFIED MECHANIC SHOP. I HAVE ALL OF MY SERVICE RECORDS & WITNESSES. THE END OF 2015 MY CAR STARTED BURNING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I ENDED UP TAKING IT TO THE MECHANIC & HE WAS ADDING OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES STATING IT WAS NORMAL FOR IT TO BURN OIL. THEY ALSO WENT WITH A THICKER OIL TO TRY TO FIX IT.I WAS ALSO ADDING OIL WHENEVER IT STARTED GETTING LOW. WELL MY CAR OVERHEATED & CRACKED MY HEAD GASKET. AFTER GOING ONTO TOYOTAS WEBSITE & TYPING MY VIN NUMBER IN, IT STATES THERE AREN'T ANY RECALLS OR SERVICE CAMPAIGNS. I STARTED SAVING MONEY UP TO HAVE MY ENGINE REPLACED SO IT'S BEEN SITTING FOR MONTHS. AFTER REALIZING I COULDN'T POSSIBLY AFFORD IT, I WENT ONLINE TO GET BLUE BOOK VALUES TO SELL IT.I FOUND OUT THERE WERE 2 TSBS COVERING MY DASHBOARD & MY ENGINE BURNING OIL. THEY ARE SAYING SOMETHING WAS MAILED TO ME EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IF I WOULD HAVE RECEIVED ANYTHING I WOULD HAVE HAD IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY.AFTER CONTACTING AN ATTORNEY WHO HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST TOYOTA, HE STATED TO ME THAT NOTHING WAS MAILED OUT TO CUSTOMERS. AFTER CONTACTING 2 TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS & TOYOTA SERVICE, THEY BOTH RAN MY VIN # & IT SHOWS THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR BOTH PROBLEMS.CUSTOMERS DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THIS UNLESS THEY CA

I ADHERED TO THE RECALL ZE7 OIL CONSUMPTION TEST NOTICE ISSUED BY TOYOTA. OVER THE NEXT 6MONTHS WATER/COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE THROUGH WHAT I LEARNED COULD HAVE BEEN A FAULTY ENGINE HEAD GASKET. MY 2007 CAMRY HAD NEVER RUN HOT BEFORE TOYOTA TOOK MY ENGINE APART AND PUT IT BACK TOGETHER. THEY DO NOT WANT TO ADMIT THEIR ERROR. THE OIL DIP STICK SHOWED SIGNS OF WATER OIL MIXTURE. LATER IT WAS LIKE MILK. THIS IS WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED ON ME IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC FROM OVER HEATING. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEALER AND TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS SINCE APRIL 2016 TO RESOLVED THIS. GOT THE RUN AROUND. SOME TECHNICIAN WAS SCHEDULED TO REVIEW THIS IN APRIL AND MAY 2016 BUT HAS NOT. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V388000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

PERIODICALLY WHEN DRIVING OR AT A STOP, THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO ZERO, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS GO ON, TEMPERATURE GAUGE OCCASIONALLY GOES TO COLD, AND THE TACHOMETER GAUGE FLUCTUATES. TOYOTA DEALER SAYS IT'S THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ECU WHICH, JUST FOR THE PART, RUNS AROUND $2000. I SEE A RECALL FOR THE HYBRID BUT NOT MY MODEL AND NOTICED OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ON THE WEB. MY CAR IS ONLY WORTH ABOUT $5000. I HAVE OWNED CAMRYS IN THE PAST BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE ANY REAL ISSUES WITH THIS YEAR MODEL. I HAVE A 1989 THAT IS STILL RUNNING WITH ALMOST 350,000 MILES ON IT. MY PRESENT VEHICLE ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 160,000.

90,000 AND NOW BURNS 1 QT OIL EVERY 1200 MILES. OIL LIGHT COMES ON AT 3 QUARTS LOW. SHOULDN'T IT COME ON WELL BEFORE THAT? LIKE ONE QT LOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING FLASHED, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO, AND THE OIL AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING APPROXIMATELY 3/4 QUARTS OF OIL. IN ADDITION, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MAY NEED A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE OF THE RAPID OIL CONSUMPTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,600.

IN THE FRONT PANEL AREA, WHERE THE GEAR SHIFTER IS, THERE'S A SMALL COMPARTMENT HOUSING A SWITCH WITH WHICH I CAN MANUALLY PRESS TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE WHEN THE CAR WON'T DO THIS BY POSITIONING THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO THE REVERSE POSITION BY PULLING IT DOWN.. MY PROBLEM IS, WHEN I TAKE IT TO BE CHECKED..THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO IF IT'S NOT HAPPENING AT THE TIME I BRING IT IN, WHICH IS ALWAYS THE CASE AS IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NEVER DOES IT WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP! THIS IS FRUSTRATING AND HAS CAUSED PROBLEMS IN DIFFERENT WAYS. I HOPE SOMEONE TAKES NOTICE OF MY PROBLEM WHILE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY IS STILL IN EFFECT SO THAT I CAN GET THIS FIXED. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS IT. I NEVER KNEW WHO TO SEND A 'COMPLAINT' TO. THANKS AGAIN!

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE THE STEERING WHEEL IS STICKING OR BINDING WHEN TURNED BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT RETURN TO CENTER BY ITSELF. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY MIKE CALVERT SERVICE DIRECTOR GRANT MILES. ON SERVICE TICKET TOCS 224493 THERE REMARKS WERE TEST DROVE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT FEEL A PULL ANY DIRECTION CHECKED ALIGNMENT SPECS AND SPECS WERE AT FACTORY SETTINGS RELATED TO STEERING ISSUE...,AND FELT AT FULL TURN TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, THE WHEEL WOULD NOT ROTATE BACK WHEN GOING FORWARD... WHEN GOING IN REVERSE WITH THE S/WHEEL TURNED ALL THE WAY LEFT OR RIGHT THE S/WHEEL DOES RETRACT AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO...DURING NORMAL TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT THE S/WHEEL DOES RETRACT AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO... IT'S ONLY WHEN THE S/WHEEL IS TURNED FULLY LEFT OR RIGHT THE STEERING WILL NOT RETRACT.... WE CONCLUDED THAT THE ISSUES DESCRIBED BY ARE A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE. MIKE CALVERT ADMITS MAKING MY CAR WORST THAN IT WAS BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. THE STEERING WHEEL NOW STICKS IN BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS AND AT LOW SPEEDS THE TIRES FEEL LIKE I HAVE AN FLAT. I HAVE HAD TIRES REPLACED BECAUSE FRED HAAS TOLD ME THAT THE STEERING WHEEL STICKING WAS BECAUSE OF MY TIRES, THEY ALIGNMENT WAS OUT OF SPECS. I FEEL THAT IS A UNSAFE CONDITION AND NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS OF NO HELP. I HAVE BEEN TO THREE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM. ALL HAVE THE SAME ANSWER BAD TIRES, ALIGNMENT, AND NORMAL CONDITION FOR YOUR CAR STEERING WHE

TAKATA RECALL NOTHING HAS HAPPENED SO FAR. BECAUSE THE 2007-2011 LEXUS ES WAS RECALLED FOR SOME REGIONS, I WAS WONDERING IF THE 2007-2011 TOYOTA CAMRY SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED AS WELL, SINCE THE LEXUS ES IS BASED ON THE TOYOTA CAMRY.

MY 2007 TOYOTA,DASHBOARD IS MELTING,I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BACK IN 2012,I AM STILL WAITING FOR MY DASH TO BE REPLACED.

MY OIL LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME I BREAK

MY FATHER-IN-LAW IS A AUTO MECHANIC. HE CHANGES THE OIL IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY EVERY 2500-3500 MILES. THIS IS WELL BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED 5,000 MILE SERVICE REMINDER LIGHT COMES ON. THE CAR ALWAYS BURNED OIL BUT OVER THE LAST YEAR HE HAS NOTICED THAT THE CAR IS BURNING SIGNIFICANTLY MORE OIL. HE RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I TOOK THE CAR TO ROUTE 44 TOYOTA IN RAYNHAM MA FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN WITH 147,212 MILES FOR THE TEST AND A OIL CHANGE. I WAS TOLD TO BRING THE CAR BACK BETWEEN 148,212 - 148,512 MILES. I NOTICED THAT AFTER I ORIGINAL BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THE THE TEST, THE CAR WOULD IDLES AT 800 RPM WHEN STOPPED, AFTER THE OIL CHANGE AND TEST THE CAR IDLE AT 500-600 RPM. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO ROUTE 44 TOYOTA FOR PHASE II OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WITH 148,290 MILES. THE SERVICED ADVISOR SAID THAT THE CAR PASSED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND WAS ONLY DOWN 1/2 A QUART OF OIL. THE CAR BURNS MORE THAN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES BUT THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT IT DOESN'T. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS BACK TO IDLING AT 800 RPM WHEN STOPPED.

THE INSTRUMENT THAT SHOW SPEED, RPM, GASOLINE, ETC WAS GOING WARY. THE SPEED AND THE RPM GO UP AND DOWN, BRAKE LIGHT COME ON, ABS LIGHT COME ON, ETC. I DO NOT HOW FAST I DRIVE. THIS HAPPENED AROUND EVERY 5 MINS, RANDOMLY AND LAST FOR 1 MINS SOMETIMES 10 MINS. THE AIR CONDITIONING STOP WORKING DURING THIS TIME. I CHECKED ONLINE AND I SAW MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM, THERE IS NOT RELATE ISSUE WITH THE WAY YOU DRIVE, THE WAY YOU DO ANYTHING IN THE CAR. I USED THE CARD SINCE NEW AND THE MILEAGE CURRENTLY ONLY 103K+, FOR 9 YEARS OLD CAR THIS IS VERY LOW MILEAGE.

MY CAR STARTED TO THROW SMOKE FROM BEHIND THE CLUSTERS I STOPPED QUICKLY I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND I DESCONECTED THE BATTERY.AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES I TOOK OFF THE CLUSTERS AND I FOUND THE PROBLEM.I BOUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND I'ME ON HOLD TO SEE IF TOYOTA WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE PART # 82671-33070 IT MAKES THE CLUSTERS CRAZY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS FROM CLUSTER CHECK ENGINE, BRAKE LIGHTS, BELTS ETC, THE PART MELTS AND IT GETS THE WIRES HOT FROM THE DASH WIRESE HARNESS THAT HAPPENED WHENT IR WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY.

I BOUGHT MY TOYOTA CAMRY IN 2007 BRAND NEW. RECENTLY I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND HEARD AIR LEAKING SOUND AND THE CAR CAN NOT BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY.. TODAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND SENT TO THE MECHANIC AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS DEFECTED NEED TO REPLACE IT AND COST AROUND $1600. HAVING SEARCH AT THE INTERNET AND REVEALED THAT COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE ARE EXISTED. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL THIS PART.

WHILE RUNNING (SITTING STILL OR MOVING) THE DASHBOARD GAUGES WILL GO CRAZY. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL GO TO 0, THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND THE RPM MAY BOUNCE AROUND. THE TEMP GAUGE MAY ALSO DROP TO C. OTHERWISE, THE CAR APPEARS FINE. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME (ENGINE COLD OR WARM, DRIVING IN CITY OR HIGHWAY). THE LENGTH OF THE EPISODES VARY FROM A SECOND (OR LESS) TO 20+ MINUTES. FROM A LITTLE RESEARCH, I CAN TELL OTHER TOYOTA CAMRY (AROUND THE SAME YEAR) OWNERS HAVE ALSO ENCOUNTERED THIS ISSUE.

I PURCHASED MY CAR USED ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO I CHECKED THE OIL SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE AND IT WAS NEARLY FULL. I RECENTLY HAD LOW OIL ENGINE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT COME ON. I CHECKED MY OIL AND HAD BARELY ANYTHING LEFT. MY CAR IS SOMEHOW GOING THROUGH ABOUT A QUART OF OIL EVERY THOUSAND MILES OR SO AND YET THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF A LEAK IN MY DRIVEWAY.

WHILE RUNNING (SITTING STILL OR MOVING) THE DASHBOARD GAUGES WILL GO CRAZY. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL GO TO 0, THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND THE RPM MAY BOUNCE AROUND. THE TEMP GAUGE MAY ALSO DROP TO C. OTHERWISE, THE CAR APPEARS FINE. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME (ENGINE COLD OR WARM, DRIVING IN CITY OR HIGHWAY). THE LENGTH OF THE EPISODES VARY FROM A SECOND (OR LESS) TO 20+ MINUTES. FROM A LITTLE RESEARCH, I CAN TELL OTHER TOYOTA CAMRY (AROUND THE SAME YEAR) OWNERS HAVE ALSO ENCOUNTERED THIS ISSUE.

I DON'T HAVE RECEIVED MILE OF WARRANT COVERAGE FOR BRAKE ACTUATOR PROBLEM. THEY HAVE CAMPAIGNED ABOUT 177,000 CAR HAS PROBLEM ON 2014. MY CAR HAS BIG PROBLEM ON 2015. I WENT TO BODY SHOP AND RETAIL SHOP FOR BRAKE PROBLEM WITH STOP ON THE FREEWAY BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRED ON 2015. BUT THEY CANNOT FIX IT BUT THE CAR STOPS ON THE FREEWAY ON 2014,2015 BUT. I CONTINUED DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH MONEY FOR THE FIXED. I WAS FIXED AFTER THIRD TIME STOP ON THE WAY MAY 2016. TOYOTA CENTER CHARGED $1,700 FOR FIXED BRAKE PROBLEM.

I HAVE 2007 CAMRY WITH A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE, BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. TAKE IT TO DEALER N TELL THEM I COULDNT READ NO CODES BECAUSE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CAN HOU GUYS HOOK UP TO YOUR COMPUTER? SERVICE ADVISOR SAID OK WE'LL TAKE A LOOK. WHEN THEY'RE DONE, ADVISOR TOLD ME WE COULDNT GET NO CODES THERE'S NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, &CHARGED ME $159. 2 TELL ME WHAT I ORIGINALLY TOLD HIM. RIP OFF.

MY VEHICLE IS BURNING THROUGH ENGINE OIL FASTER THAN NORMAL, I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO TWO TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS, THE FIRST ONE DENIED FIXING MY VEHICLE DUE TO A FEMALE SUPERVISOR SAYING THAT THEY WONT FIX A SALVAGED CAR, SHE THEN ALERTED THE SURROUNDING DEALERSHIP'S TELLING THEM NOT TO FIX MY CAR. THE DEALERSHIP IS THE ONE IN SAN BERNARDINO CALIFORNIA, I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO REDLANDS CALIFORNIA TO SEE IF THAT DEALERSHIP COULD FIX MY CAR AND THEY SAID THAT IT SHOWED IN THEIR SYSTEM THAT MY CAR SHOULDN'T BE FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A MANUFACTURER'S SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN FOR THE WATER PUMP. DURING THE DISSEMBLING OF THE VEHICLE, THE TECHNICIAN NOTIFIED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A 2003 MOTOR AND THAT THE REPAIRS COULD NOT BE PERFORMED. THE VEHICLES WATER PUMP AND TENSIONERS WERE REPAIRED, HOWEVER DURING A TEST DRIVE AT THE DEALER THE TECHNICIAN BLEW A BLOCK IN THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED A NEW MOTOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

CAR IS BURNING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL, HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CHECK AND FILL THE OIL. ITS GETTING TO THE POINT THAT I AM HAVING TO CHECK AND FILL WITH OIL ONCE A WEEK. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS????

RECENTLY THE "ABS" AND "BRAKE" LIGHT CAME UP; NOW THESE LIGHT COME UP AND STAY ON FOR SOME TIME- SIMULTANEOUSLY; THE NEEDLES OF THE MPH, RPM, H/C, AND GAS GAUGE DROPS- THE PRM NEEDLES FLICKER UP AND DOWN. ALSO, THE TEMPERATURE MARKER DOESN'T WORK. THE MPH HITS DOWN TO '0' WHEN I AM ON THE ROAD AT NORMAL SPEED. BUT I DON'T KNOW MY SPEED. MY AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I ALSO NOTICE THAT IT DOESN'T TRACK THE "TRIP' MILES WHEN IT IS OUT OF CONTROL (ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T NOTICED IF IT FAILS TO TRACK THE MILEAGE ON THE ODOMETER. THEN THIS 'PROBLEM' STOPS AND THE CAR GOES BACK TO "NORMAL." A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM CAN LAST FOR 5 MINUTES TO 20 MINUTES. I CALLED TOYOTA SERVICE'S 800 NUMBER AFTER SEARCHING THE WEB AND READING SIMILAR PROBLEMS BEING DOCUMENTED. HERE ARE JUST A FEW: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/TOYOTA/CAMRY/2007/ELECTRICAL/ELECTRICAL_SYSTEM.SHTML; HTTP://WWW.JUSTANSWER.COM/TOYOTA/5O8XA-TOYOTA-CAMRY-OPERATING-2007-CAMRY-OCCASIONALLY.HTML. ONE PERSON POSTED 'I CALLED THE TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE IN 2012', YET WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA CLAIMED NO KNOWLEDGE. THE PERSON I SPOKE TO EVEN SAID THEY HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A CALL ABOUT THIS BEFORE. SOME OF THE POSTS ONLINE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE STATE THE EXACT THING TOYOTA TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. I TRIED TO DEFROST MY WINDOWS AND HAD AN ISSUE WITH THAT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS ON THE "ABS" "BRAKE" AND THE CAR WAS ACTING UP. MY CAR TESTED

WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE (STATIONARY OR MOVING) THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL INTERMITTENTLY PROVIDE FALSE/NO INFORMATION. SOME OF THE KNOWN SYMPTOMS INCLUDE THE FLASHING OF THE MALFUNCTION LIGHTS FOR THE ABS SYSTEM AND PARKING BRAKE, THE GAUGE NEEDLES SHOWING ZERO WHILE MOVING OR BOUNCING INTERMITTENTLY, AND THE A/C SYSTEM BEING INOPERATIVE.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. IN FEBRUARY 2016 TOYOTA TOOK POSSESSION OF MY VEHICLE FOR 3-4 WEEKS TO REPAIR OR REBUILD THE ENGINE TO COMPLY WITH THE RECALL REQUIREMENTS. I WAS PROVIDED A LOANER CAR DURING THAT PERIOD. DURING THE LESS THAN 2 MONTH PERIOD BETWEEN WHEN MY CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME ON 2/18/16 AND APRIL 10, 2016, I DID NOT TAKE MY CAR TO ANY REPAIR SHOP NOR DID I TOUCH THE ENGINE FOR ANY REASON. APPARENTLY TOYOTA DID NOT PROPERLY REPAIR THE VEHICLE WHEN THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE DONE. ON 4/10/16, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE, THE ENGINE SELF-DESTRUCTED, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE, SMOKE ENGULFED THE ENGINE AND THEN IT CEASED RUNNING. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANTY REPAIR. ON 4/11/16, I CALLED TOYOTA FOR WARRANTY PAYMENT TO BE MADE TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THE ENGINE COULD BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED, I WAS TOLD THAT FIRST I HAD TO PAY FOR THE $5,800 WORK TO BE DONE AND THEN TOYOTA WOULD REIMBURSE ME ONCE I SHOWED THAT I HAD ALL MY SERVICE RECEIPTS THAT I HAD PROPERLY MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE. THIS WAS AN OUTRAGEOUS POSITION FOR TOYOTA TO TAKE, BECAUSE THE CAR WAS RELEASED TO ME AFTER TOYOTA THOROUGHLY WORKED ON IT FOR 3-4 WEEKS AND INSPECTED IT BEFORE RELEASING THE CAR TO ME ON 2/18/16. WHAT POSSIBLE MAINTENANCE WOULD I HAVE DONE IN UNDER TWO (2) MONTHS. I AM ALSO A LOW INCOME WAGE EARNER AND TO REQUIRE ME TO FUND $5,800 AND WAIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT WAS UNDULY BURDENSOME. COUPLE WITH THE FACT THAT THE TOYOTA OF PRIN

THERE IS A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE THE SUN GLARE WILL REFLECT ON THE DASHBOARD WHICH BECAME VERY STICKY AND MELTING EVERYDAY, THAT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT WHEN THE SUN IS UP.

MY CAMRY HAS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED ONCE AGAIN IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS. TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON OIL BURNING UP BUT THEY CHECKED LAST TIME AND SAID IT'S OKAY. EVIDENTLY IT'S NOT. THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED BRAKE BOOSTER FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT ISSUE WHICH COSTS FROM $750-$1,200 WHICH IS HARD TO AFFORD. THIS KIND OF ISSUE CAN COST YOUR LIFE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND FIX IT SINCE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE GEAR SHIFTER IN REVERSE WITHOUT THE KEYS BEING IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE COASTED BACKWARDS AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILURE. BRAKES MAKING CHIRPING NOISE WHEN YOU DEPRESS PEDDLE. CHECK VSC SYSTEM LIGHT COME ON. THIS IS THE SECOND BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILURE RESULTING IN REPLACEMENT OF UNIT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED IN ORDER TO AVOID A CRASH HOWEVER THE SAFETY SEAT BELT FAILED TO SUSTAIN THE CONTACT IN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

THE FLEXPLATE SHREDDED FROM THE MOUNTING TO THE ENGINE AND TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED WHILE IT WAS AT THE TOYOTA SERVICE GARAGE. IT ALL FELL APART AS THEY WERE DISMANTLING IT. THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY CAUSING THE POWER TRAIN TO SEIZE UP AND DISCHARGE FLYING METAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 194,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

AFTER REAR-ENDING A CAR AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, MY SEAT BELT RELEASED AND AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. MY SEAT BELT HAD BEEN TIGHTLY LOCKED IN PLACE OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE PULLED BACK TO "NOT IN USE" POSITION. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I BELIEVE MY CAR IS UNSAFE IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT DOWN TO ZERO AND THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A SOFTWARE ISSUE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND THE SOFTWARE WOULD NEED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES. FIRST STICKY DASH BOARD .. WAS TOLD I'M BEING PUT ON A WAITING LIST FOR PART. IT'S BEEN MONTHS STILL NO WORD. 2ND OIL CONSUMPTION IS RIDICULOUS. . OIL RUNS OUT WAY BEFORE IT'S TIME FOR OIL CHANGE EVERY TIME .. NO OIL LEAKS ANYWHERE .. CAR JUST BURNS OIL SUPER FAST NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WITH ANY CAR I'VE OWNED ..3RD THE CAR VIBRATES WHEN IN YOU HIT AROUND 40 MPH AT 1.5 RPM DOESNT DO IT AS MUCH WHEN CAR DOESNT GO IN OVERDRIVE IN 4TH GEAR .. WAS TOLD THIS MAY BE A COMPUTER PROGRAMING ISSUE .. 4TH MY DRIVER SIDE BACK SEAT MAT IS MELTED TO THE FLOOR. I WAS TOLD SOMETHING UNDER THE CAR MAY BE GETTING TO HOT. NEVER GOT ANY REAL ANSWERS TO MY CONCERNS .

I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY CARS OIL CONSUMPTION AND WAS NEVER NOTIFIED FROM TOYOTA THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BACK IN MAY 2015 FOR ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION REPAIR. THE SHOP IS NOW TELLING ME I HAVE A BLOWN PISTON FROM WHAT THEY CAN HEAR. I HAVE RECORDS THAT I NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE AND EVEN HAVE PROOF FROM FIRESTONE COMPLETE CARE WHEN MY CAR WAS CHECKED FOR OIL LEAKS. THERE WERE NONE FOUND. TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY SAID IT'S TOO LATE TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I ALSO SENT TOYOTA PROOF OF MY OIL CHANGES FROM FIRESTONE DATED 12/13/14, 4/11/15, 6/29/15, 8/22/15, 10/08/15, 11/14/15 AND 1/3/16. MY CAR WAS TOWED INTO COMMUNITY TOYOTA ON 3/23/16.

LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY I PARTIALLY RAN OVER A SMALL TREE STUMP, AND IT SEEMS FOR NO REASON SUDDEN ACCELERATION OCCURRED, I QUICKLY APPLIED MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE BUT EVEN WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR PROPELLED LIKE A RACE HORSE COMING OUT OF THE GATE. AND EVEN AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN UNTIL I STEERED INTO WOODS TO STOP THE CAR. I AM NOT SURE IF DRIVING OVER THE SMALL STUMP HAD ANY BEARING ON THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION, BUT EVEN THE APPLICATION OF THE BREAKS WOULD NOT EITHER STOP THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING OUT OF CONTROL OR STOP THE CAR FROM HITTING THE TREE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 32 MPH OVER A SHEET OF ICE, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL LIGHTLY AND THE VEHICLE SPUN TO THE RIGHT AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUFFERED BRUISING AND MINOR CUTS ON THE RIGHT HAND THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

I HAD ABS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. THE SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER AND A/C HAS STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT REASON. DEALER FOUND U0073 TROUBLE CODE AND I HAD THE REPLACE ABS ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY WHICH INCLUDES ABS PUMP AND ECU. FROM THE RESEARCH THAT I MADE ONLINE, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT MANY 07-10 CAMRY USERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR ABS SYSTEM. A NEW ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY COSTS OVER 3000 DOLARES AND THEY ARE MANUFACTURED BY BOSCH. I BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA IS HIDING THE PROBLEM BECAUSE A RECALL COST ON THIS PARTICULAR MATTER WILL BE A LOT HIGHER. AN EXAMPLE OF THE PROBLEM WAS SHOWN IN THE FOLLOWING YOUTUBE VIDEO: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=RDTGABJRFDS

LOW OIL DUE TO OVERVER-CONSUMPTION: MY CAR ENGINE OVERHEATED AND ALMOST BURNT BECAUSE OF OIL OVERCONSUMPTION AND I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR AND GET OIL CHANGE AND GOT A REPORT PROVING THE VERY LOW OIL LEVEL.

OIL CONSUMPTION: AFTER 1149 MI, I CHECKED MY OIL AND THERE WAS BARLEY ANY OIL IN THE CAR. THE CAR HAS 149,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER SAID THAT USING A QT. OF OIL EVERY 1000 MI. WAS NORMAL. THEY SAID IT PASSED THE RECALL WHICH WAS TESTED AT 1000 MI. THEY REFUSED TO FIXED THE PROBLEM.

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IT HESITATES TO SWITCH GEARS FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. AS YOU ACCELERATE. AT TIMES THERE IS A JERK AS IT IS DOING SO. THIS CAUSES ME TO EITHER SLOW DOWN OR SPEED UP UNTIL IT GOES INTO GEAR.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE AND THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE RPM GAUGE BOUNCE AROUND AND SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AND STAYS ON ZERO AND I HAVE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE PROBLEM AND TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS HAPPENING TO A LOT AND SEVERAL 2007 TOYOTA VEHICLES LIKE THE CAMRY.
