2007 Toyota Camry complaints

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND AC THE PANEL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WILL GO OUT AND ACT LIKE THE CAR IS JUST IN START MODE. YOU CAN NOT TELL ANYTHING WHILE THIS HAPPENS. NOT IF YOUR CAR IS OVERHEATING NOT HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. NOTHING YOUR INTRUMENT PANEL SHOULD TELL YOU WHILE YOUR DRIVING. THE AC STARTED ACTING UP AT THE SAME TIME. IT COMES IN AND OUT WITH COLD AIR LIKE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WHEN GOOGLED TO SEE HOW TO FIX THIS... I CAN ACROSSED MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT STARTED A WHILE BACK. I HAVE SPECIAL NEED CHILDREN SO MONEY IS TIGHT OR I WOULD HAVE FIXED IT BY NOW. THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING AND ONLY MOVING WHEN IT HAS TO BE USED. I USE A GPS FOR SPEED. I JUST LIVE THROUGH THE AC. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE AC PROBLEM IN ELETRIC LIKE THE PANEL. THE PICTURE ATTACHED IS WHAT IT SHOWS WHILE OUT 99% OF THE TIME.

OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WHICH WAS PURCHASED IN 2009. TOOK INTO MY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH RECALL. ALSO INQUIRED ABOUT MY BROKEN DRIVER SIDE VISOR. WAS TOLD THAT VISOR WAS NOT A RECALL AND ONLY COVERED AS AN EXTENDED SERVICE FOR 7 YEARS FROM DATE OF FIRST USE; THEREFORE NOT COVERED. VISOR WILL FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING, OBSTRUCTING VIEW AND WILL NOT STAY ATTACHED WITH CLIP. THIS PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL RECENTLY BUT TOYOTA WILL NOT REPLACE IT, AS IT IS OUTSIDE THE 7 YEARS FROM DATE OF FIRST USE. I CALLED TOYOTA AND ASKED WHY THE VISOR WAS NOT REPLACED PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. THEY INDICATED THAT IF IT WAS NOT SHOWING SIGNS OF PROBLEMS, THEY DID NOT REPLACE THEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE A VISOR "FALL" DURING DRIVING AND OBSTRUCTING YOUR VISION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED WITH A DELAYED RESPONSE. ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS, INCLUDING THE VSC INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON DASHBOARD READERS, SPEEDOMETER, TEMPERATURE GAUGE, JUMP AND FLICKERS AND GOES TO ZERO DOESNT MATTER HOW FAST I AM GOING, TRANSMISSION GEAR LIGHT GOES OFF DOES IT ON TYPES OF ROADS AND CONDITIONS DO DOES IT STOPPING OR GOING

MY PROBLEM IS THAT I CANNOT BACK-UP USING THE GEAR SHIFTER AS IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE USED. THE MECHANIC REMOVED THE LITTLE PANEL IN THE FRONT OF THE GEAR HANDLE, ALLOWING ME TO PRESS IT MANUALLY.I WAS TOLD IT COULD NOT BE FIXED (BY HIM) UNLESS IT WAS HAPPENING THEN. WHICH IT WAS NOT DOING AT THE TIME I TOOK IT TO HIM. YOU SEE, IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES THE GEAR SHIFTER WILL KICK IN AFTER I PRESS THE BRAKE, AND SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT KICK IN AND THAT'S WHEN I HAVE TO PUSH THE SWITCH MANNUALLY. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BE FIXED BECAUSE IT IS AN INTERMITTENT OCCURRENCE.

THE WATER TEMPERATURE, RPM GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER RANDOMLY FLUCTUATE, ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON. IT OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE MOVING OR STOP. THE MECHANICS TOLD ME THE ABS MODULE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FAILED HOWEVER THE BRAKING IS STILL FUNCTIONAL. THE ABS FUNCTION MIGHT STOP WORKING.

WHEN BACK OUT FROM DRIVEWAY, I ALWAYS HEARD A CLINKING SOUND AND FELT LIKE STEERING COLUMN LOOSE COMPONENT.

THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS OF MY TOYOTA 2007 CAMRY COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON, THE WHOLE DASHBOARD READERS; THE SPEEDOMETER, RPM, ENGINE TEMPERATURE AND OTHER GAUGES JUMP AND FLICKER, THE LIGHT MARKERS FOR TRANSMISSION GEAR AND PARKING GO OFF. THE AC UNIT ALSO DID NOT WORK. I WENT TO DEALER TO GET IT CHECKED OUT BUT THERE WERE NO CODES TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK AGAIN WHEN IT HAPPENS FOR LONGER THAN A DAY. IT KEEPS HAPPENING AT VARIOUS TIMES OF THE DAY (MORNING AND EVENING), WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED OR MOVING, AND ON ALL TYPES OF ROADS AND DRIVING CONDITIONS (CITY STREETS, HIGHWAY, AT A STOP LIGHT, AT A STOP SIGN, WHEN I AM TURNING). I HAVE NOTICED THAT TOYOTA HAS ALREADY ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE 2007 CAMRY HYBRID. GIVEN THE SHEER NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR THE REGULAR CAMRY 2007, IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS FOR THE 2007 CAMRY.

STICKY, SHINY AND CRACKED DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND IS SO SHINY THAT I CAN NOT SEE BECAUSE THE GLARE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

MY CAR HAS AN OVER OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. BEFORE THE CAR IS DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE IT IS OUT OF OIL COMPLETELY AND DUE TO THIS PROBLEM MY CAR STARTING OVERHEATING AND IT CRACKED THE HEAD GASKET. TOYOTA HAS A RECALL FOR THE 4 CYLINDER MODELS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT THE 6 CYLINDER MODELS ARE EXCLUDED. DESPITE THE FACT THAT I TOLD THEM EVERY TIME J WENT TO THEIR SERVICE CENTER. NOW I HAVE TO BUY A NEW ENGINE FOR THE VEHICLE THAT I JUST BOUGHT.

ENGINE CONSUMED 4 QTS OF OIL BEFORE REGULAR 3000MI OIL CHANGE, NOW ENGINE IS MAKING NOISE.

THE IGNITION OF MY 07 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS CONTINUE RUNNING WITHOUT THE CAR KEYS. THE CAR IS NOT AUTOSTART. I MADE VIDEO BUT UNABLE TO UPLOAD HERE. I CAN EMAIL THE VIDEO IF YOU NEED FOR EVIDENCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AND EVENTUALLY REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED DURING EXTREME COLD OR HUMIDITY WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

ON TWO OCCASIONS, WHILE TRAVELING BETWEEN 40-50 MPH, THE BRAKES STARTED APPLYING REPEATEDLY ON THEIR OWN AFTER I HAD PUSHED ON THE PEDAL TO SLOW THE CAR. THIS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES EVEN AFTER BRINGING THE CAR TO A STOP. THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT HISSING SOUND FROM THE AREA OF THE PEDALS. THE PAVEMENT WAS DRY AND SMOOTH BOTH TIMES. THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED ABOUT 1 MONTH APART. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS ON A HIGHWAY WHILE MAKING A SLIGHT CURVE TO AN EXIT RAMP. THE SECOND TIME WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET IN MODERATE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC. AFTER PULLING OVER, THE CAR WOULD MOVE SLOWLY FORWARD AFTER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE IN A SLOW JERKING MOTION WHILE THE BRAKES APPLIED THEMSELVES AND CONTINUED WITH THE HISSING NOISE. AFTER SHUTTING IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR, THE PROBLEM STOPPED. MY MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. SEEMS TO BE A BRAKING ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND TOYOTA SHOULD STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY BEFORE A TRAGEDY OCCURS.

DASH BOARD IS VERY STICKY AND REFLECTS ON TO THE WIND SHILEDDURING DAY TIME- AN EXTREME HAZARD BECASUE I CAN'T SEE THRU SOMETIMES. TOYOTA HAS A WARRANTY ENHNACEMENT ON IT, DEALER ORDERED A REPLACEMENT BACK ON 07/29/2015 AND TOTYOTA HAS NOT FULFILLED THE ORDER YET. WITH SUMMER COMING, IT'LL BE BRIGHT & SUNNY AND A HAZARD AGAIN. ANY WAY TO EXPEDITE THAT REPLACEMENT PART FROM TOTYOTA. PLEASE HELP.

VEHICLE HAVING PROBLEM WITH ABS MODULE. SAME AS MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA WEBSITE. AT RANDOM TIMES, BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS COME ON AND SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO ZERO. MAY LAST FOR ONE OR SEVERAL MINUTES AND EVENTUALLY RETURNS TO NORMAL. ALTERNATES BETWEEN FUNCTIONING AND NOT BUT HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING MORE THAN IT WORKS. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS ABS MODULE. BRAKES SEEM TO BE FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY BUT NOT SURE IF WORKING IN ABS MODE. BASED ON COMPLAINTS ON WEBSITE, CAN'T BELIEVE NHTSA HAS NOT FORCED A RECALL.

TOYOTA RECALL: I TOOK MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL. THEY HAD A 3 PHASE TEST AND IT USED A QUART OF OIL AFTER 1000 MILES, BUT I HAD TO BRING IT IN A THIRD TIME, THEN THEY SAID I FAILED THE TEST AS I WENT OVER THE MILEAGE FOR THE 3RD VISIT. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY LET ME FILE A COMPLAINT BUT ALSO SAID I FAILED TO MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS AS I WENT OVER THE MILEAGE EVEN THOUGH IT HAD ALREADY USED A QUART OF OIL THE AFTER 1000 MILES. I ASKED FOR THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS AND THEY WERE VAGUE AND STATED THE DEALERSHIP MADE THE DETERMINATION AROUND TOYOTA'S GUIDELINES. I TOOK IT AGAIN FOR THE LAST AND FINAL OIL RECALL AND THEY THEN SAID I WENT OVER THE MILEAGE FOR THE OIL RECALL TEST THE SECOND TIME (1700 MILES) THAT IT WAS A BIT LOW AND THEY TOPPED IT OFF AS A CURTESY, BUT I WAS NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. TODAY AFTER 3000 MILES FROM MY LAST OIL CHANGE AND THEIR TOPPING IT OFF THE OIL WAS DOWN 4 QUARTS OF OIL. I FEEL THAT THAT TOYOTA IS MAKING THIS DIFFICULT SO THAT A CONSUMER FAILS THE RECALL AND THEY DO NOT HAVE TO FIX THE PISTONS ON THE ENGINE.

BRAKES FAILED WHILE TRYING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN. THE BRAKES FAILED WHILE TRYING TO STOP ON DRY PAVEMENT. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY HARD AND THE CAR CONTINUED THREW THE STOP SIGN AND STOPPED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD BEEN ON FOR A DAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS BAD GAS. I DROVE THE CAR FOR ANOTHER DAY WITH HARD BRAKES AND THEN RETUNED TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF SOME NEAR MISSES BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS BAD. A QUICK CHECK SHOWS THAT THIS VERY COMMON ON 2007 CAMRY. THESE FAULTY BOOSTERS ARE SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY TOYOTA BEFORE SOME ONE DIES!

MY 07 CAMRY RUNS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL BEFORE IT'S TIME FOR IT TO BE CHANGED. I HAVE HAD THE CAR CHECKED FOR OIL LEAKS AND HAS PASSED EACH TIME. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND THAT THE MORE MILES ON THE CAR THE FASTER IT RUNS THE OIL OUT AND WITH THAT BEING SAID I NOW HAVE ENGINE DAMAGE. NOT TO MENTION THIS CAR HAS BEEN THE ABSOLUTE WORST. I PUT MY VISORS DOWN ONE TIME AND HAD TO TAKE THEM OFF BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T GO BACK UP. THE POWER CONTROLS IN MY CAR DON'T WORK. I ALSO FOUND OUT TONIGHT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE GAS PEDAL IN THIS DEATH TRAP THAT HAPPENED BEFORE I OWNED IT THAT I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF BUT KNEW SOMETHING HAD TO BE WRONG WITH IT BECAUSE IT KEPT STICKING!! I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON DEALING WITH THIS AND FIND IT OUTRAGEOUS THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. MY CHILDREN USED TO RIDE IN THAT CAR!! IT IS A TICKING TIME BOMB AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!

MELTING DASHBOARD CAUSES GLARE AND REDUCES VISIBILITY DURING DAYTIME DRIVING.

THIS IS THE 3RD ACCIDENT I HAVE BEEN IN RELATED TO THE TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 BRAKING SYSTEM FAILING. IN EACH INSTANCE, I HAD BEEN GOING LESS THAN 35MPH IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD TO PRESS DOWN REALLY HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT DOESN'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP UNTIL 20-30 SECONDS LATE. THE BRAKE DOES NOT REDUCE THE CAR SPEED LIKE IT SHOULD BE TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT FROM HAPPENING. IN ADDITION TO THIS, I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I BRAKE THERE IS VIBRATION AND THE CAR SHAKES WHEN TRYING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ON TOP ON THIS, THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS AS IF IT IS GETTING STUCK AND I HAVE TO PRESS DOWN REALLY HARD BEFORE I CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS VERY FRIGHTENING AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR.

WHILE DRIVING THE DASH INSTRUMENTS GO CRAZY. THE TACHO SHOWS 0 THE WARNING LIGHTS TURN ON AND OFF. ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THE WHOLE ELECTRONIC DASH MALFUNCTIONS. MY DAUGHTER THAT DRIVES THE CAR TOLD ME THAT SHE FEELS THAT THE CAR WILL EXPLODE. FROM MY RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THE ABS MODULE IS THE CAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTIONS.

TAKATA RECALL. MY DASHBOARD IS SOFT AND GET SOFTER. IT GETTING STICKY. THE WORST THING IS THE GLARE THAT COMES OFF IT IS BLINDING. I HAVE ALMOST HAVE ACCENTDENTS BECOUSE OF THIS. ONCE THE SUN HIT YOU REAL CAN NOT SEE. THIS IS ONE THING TOYODA MUST REPLACE. I KNOW IF I GET INTO AN ACCENTDENT THAT'S I FIRST THING I WILL DO, GET A LAWYER. IN FACT I HAVE BEEN TOLD FROM ONE THE IT IN PAIRS YOU SO MUCH THAT YOU GET IN A ACCENTDENT WE CAN GO AFTER TOYODA OF NOT RECALLING A PART THAT HAS A SAFETY CONCERN. IT IS SO SOFT YOU NAIL JUST ITS IT AND MAKES A DENT. I DON'T SHOW IN A PIC BUT BY THE GLOVE BOX THERE IS A PIECE THAT EVER RUBS OFF. IT IS AS THIN AS ONE COAT OF PAINT ON THE GLOVE BOX. EVERY WHAT WHAT THE SO CALLED DASH IS VERY CHEAP RUDDER THAT MELTS, EASY THE DAMAGE, CAN NOT CLEAN IT OR ANYTHING. I LOVE TOYODA BUT THIS DASH WILL MAKE MY BUY SOMETHING ELSE, IT'S A PAIN IN THE ASS.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CRACKING. PIECES ARE STARTING TO FALL OFF. NOT SURE HOW THIS MAY AFFECT INSIDE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AS THEY MAY BE EXPOSED THROGH THE CRACKS. IN CASA OF AN ACCIDENT THE DASBOARD MAY CRUMBLE AND PIECES MAY CAUSE BODY DAMAGE TO FACE AND EYES. TOYOTA KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM BUT IN TAKING TO MUCH TIME TO MAKE REPAIRS. IN FACT NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE IN MY LOCAL DEALER TO ANY OF THE AFECTED UNITS DUE TO LACK OF PARTS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR.

ENGINE IS CONSUMING QUARTS OF OIL (5-9 QTS) BETWEEN OIL CHANGES

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IS A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE USES THREE QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN 5,000 MILE SERVICE. TWO OIL CONSUMPTIONS TESTS WERE DONE. TOYOTA STATED NOT ELIGIBLE FOR WARRANTY. ....UPDATED 11/18/15 *BF ON MY THIRD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR, IT HAD A POSITIVE RESULT. TOYOTA IS GOING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT QUALIFIES. MAINLY BECAUSE IT USES 4 QUARTS OF OIL NOW BETWEEN CHANGES EVERY 5000 MILES NOW. THANKS JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT THE DEAL IS NOW. UPDATED 02/29/16. *JB

I AM CONCERNED WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAD TWO TEST OUTCOME FAILED I HAVE STATED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE IN DEC 2006 THAT CAR USED OIL. I THINK THAT I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THE NUMEROUS QUARTS OF OIL THAT HAVE BEEN WASTED DUE TO A FLAW IN THIS ENGINE TYPE. THE TIME TO REPAIR IS WAY TOO LONG. ON AVERAGE I HAVE TO ADD A QUART A WEEK THAT'S A LOT OF OIL SINCE 2007. THE PEOPLE AT TOYOTA NEED TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED.

I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE DASHBOARD GAUGES WENT CRAZY AND THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS MELTING AND IS VERY STICKY, ESPECIALLY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS I HAVE READ SEVERAL POSTS REGARDING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE AND NOTICE THAT NO ONE HAS HAD THIS ISSUE CORRECTED BY TOYOTA FOR FREE, OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A VEHICLE MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO DEAL WITH BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I PURCHASED A TOYOTA VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE REPUTATION ON QUALITY & CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT UNTIL NOW I'VE NOT SEEN EITHER OF THESE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT & MAKE IT RIGHT FOR ALL AFFECTED CONSUMERS. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CLEAN DASHBOARD AT ALL. EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT AND IF YOU TOUCH IT WITH YOUR FINGER NAIL-STICKY CHUNKS COME OUT..... THE GLARE IS AWFUL AND SINCE BOTH OF MY VISORS HAVE BROKEN OFF I CANT USE THOSE TO HELP...

THE DASHBOARD OF THE CAMRY BECOMES TACKY AND VERY SHINY DUE TO DETERIATION FROM SUNLIGHT. THIS SHINY FINISH CAUSES DANGEROUS GLARE AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING. THE TACKINESS PREVENTS THE DASHBOARD FROM BEING CLEANED PROPERLY TO PREVENT REFLECTIONS AS WELL.

MY CAR WAS BURNING MORE THAN 5 QUARTS IN LESS THAN 3K MILES BUT AFTER LONG TIME FINALLY TOYOTA HAS FIXED THE ISSUE. BUT THIS WAS HAPPENING FOR ME FROM 45K MILES ON MY CAR AROUND 2009 UNTIL NOW. MEAN WHILE SINCE THE ENGINE WAS BURNING WHICH CAUSED MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO BLOW OFF. THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TOO BECAUSE THIS IS CAUSED BY THE ENGINE OIL BURNING IN THE COMBUSTION CAMBER. FEW YEARS BACK THEY FIXED MY POWER WINDOW ON THE DRIVER SIDE BUT LAST 12- 18 MONTHS I AM EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE SOME TIMES THE WINDOW OPENS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT MOST OF THE TIME PASSENGER WOULD TRY TO OPEN BUT IT WONT OPEN. I BELIEVE ITS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHICH MAY HAVE HAPPENED AFTER THEY FIXED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. IF ANY ACCIDENT HAPPENS THEN THE PASSENGER WONT BE ABLE TO GET OUT WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS ITS AN SAFETY ISSUE.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS MELTING AND IS VERY STICKY, ESPECIALLY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. I'VE NOTICE THIS ISSUE SEVERAL YEARS AGO BUT DIDN'T PAY TO MUCH ATTENTION TO IT, OTHER THEN IT'S DIFFICULT TO CLEAN AND STICKY. I RECEIVED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTIFICATION - ZE6 FROM TOYOTA MOTOR SALES REGARDING THIS ISSUE EARLIER THIS YEAR APRIL 2015. I'VE CALL THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR ORIGINALLY AND INQUIRE ABOUT THIS RECALL NOTICE & WAS TOLD THAT THE DASHBOARD WOULD BE ORDERED & ONCE IT CAME IN I WOULD BE CONTACTED, I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THEM, SO I CALLED AGAIN RECENTLY AND EXPRESS MY SAFETY CONCERNS WHILE DRIVING ON A SUNNY DAY WITH GLARE COMING OFF THE DASHBOARD ONTO THE WINDSHIELD, THE GLARE IS VERY BLINDING IF NOT WEARING SUNGLASSES. I WAS ONCE AGAIN TOLD BY THE SERVICE REP AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THAT THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL THEY RECEIVE THE PARTS FROM THE MANUFACTURE & THAT AT THIS TIME THERE'S NO TIME FRAME FOR CORRECTING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL POSTS REGARDING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE AND NOTICE THAT NO ONE HAS HAD THIS ISSUE CORRECTED BY TOYOTA FOR FREE, OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A VEHICLE MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO DEAL WITH BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I PURCHASED A TOYOTA VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE REPUTATION ON QUALITY & CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT UNTIL NOW I'VE NOT SEEN EITHER OF THESE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT & MAKE IT RIGHT FOR ALL AFFECTED CONSUMERS.

THIS MORNING I WAS TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE UNDER 30 MPH ON A NEIGHBORHOOD PAVED ROAD. AS I WAS APPROACHING THE 4 WAY STOP, MY DASH READ "CHECK VCS SYSTEM" PLUS ALL THESE LIGHT CAME ON MY DASHBOARD SUCH AS A BRAKE LIGHT, A CIRCLE WITH AN EXCLAMATION, A FEW OTHER LIGHTS THAT IM NOT SURE WHAT THEY ARE AND MY BRAKES WERE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STOP . I ENDED UP ROLLING THROUGH THE 4 WAY STOP AND WAS ABLE TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A DITCH. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BACK TO MY HOUSE GOING VERY SLOWLY AND WITH AN EXTREMELY LARGE AMOUNT OF SPACE TO STOP. I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE TO READ THE CODES BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO READ THEM BECAUSE IT WAS NOT AN ENGINE CODE. ON MY WAY BACK TO THE HOUSE, ALL LIGHTS DISAPPEARED AND THE LOCAL TOYOTA SHOP SAID IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS. I AM EXTREMELY THANKFUL MY KIDS AND THE KIDS WALKING ACROSS THE CROSS WALK AT THE FOUR WAY STOP WERE NOT INJURED!

MY CAR WILL BURN THROU +2 QUARTS OF OIL BEFORE I WOULD REACH 1200 MILES HAVING TO CHANGE MY OIL EVERY 1200 MILE OR ADDING 2+ QUARTS . IF I FORGET TO ADD OR CHANGE OIL ENGINE WILL TICK LOUD AND I WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION POWER. I ONCE FORGOT TO ADD OIL AND TRYING TO PULL OUT IN TO TRAFFIC NOT REALIZING THE LOST OF POWER I ALMOST GOT T BONE .

WHILE DRIVING RPM IS FLUCTUATING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO FEEL LIKE IT IS DOWN SHIFTING WHEN NOT DECELERATING. THIS MAKES IT FEEL LIKE IT IS CAUSING UNNECESSARY STRAIN ON THE TRANSMISSION......UPDATED 12/08/15 *BF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 12V491000 (VISIBILITY) AND 09V388000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 192,000.

THE CAR WILL BE RUNNING PERFECT AND OUT OF NO WHERE MY CAR WILL START DECELERATING. IT WILL STILL LOSE SPEED EVEN AS I HAVE THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I WENT FROM 60MPH TO 15MPH WITH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. FINALLY IT WILL START GAINING SPEED BUT MY RPM'S HIT 6-7 AND ALMOST MAX OUT. I WAS ON A HIGHWAY WITH A SEMI TRUCK RIGHT BEHIND ME AS THIS HAPPENED CAUSING HIM TO ALMOST HIT ME. IT WAS HOOKED UP TO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND NO ERRORS OR PROBLEMS POPPED UP AT ALL. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS BLOWING WHITE POWDER (ALUMINUM OXIDE) WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING/HEAT IS COMING OUT OF THE VENTS. ONLINE RESEARCH POINTS OUT TO THE ANTI-MOLD, EXPERIMENTAL CODING THAT TOYOTA PUT ON THE EVAPORATOR FANS, AND THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, TOYOTA DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT THIS CODING WAS PUT ON THE VEHICLES IN 2007, AND THERE IS NO OFFICIAL RECALL ABOUT THIS ISSUE. AT THE SAME TIME, THE LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO ALUMINUM OXIDE COULD LEAD TO LUNG DAMAGE. I WAS WONDERING WHAT CAN BE DONE IN A CASE LIKE THIS. PLEASE ADVISE. TOYOTA SAID THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, ALL REPAIRS WOULD HAVE TO BE COVERED BY ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE AND THOUGHT ON THE ISSUE. MY CASE NUMBER WITH THE TOYOTA IS [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
