I FIX THIS INTERMEDIATE SHAFTS IN 2010 AND NOW IT HAPPEN AGAIN. TOYOTA SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THIS PART.

BRAKES SUDDENLY WERE NOT RESPONDING AND MY VEHICLE WAS SHAKING ALL FELT LIKE OUT OF CONTROL, ALL MY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND I HAD TO HIT THE BRAKE PEDDLE HARD WHICH CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE MORE AND FELT LIKE I HAD LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND COULD CRASH. I QUICKLY USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE BRAKE ACTUATOR THAT AFFECTS THE ABS SYSTEM, I HAD IT REPLACEMENT AND BOUGHT THE PART FROM ANOTHER CAMRY AND THOUGHT PROBLEM WOULD BE FIXED BUT IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE OVER THE YEAR AND I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I AM HESITANT TO BUY A NEW ACTUATOR PART IF THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEING FIXED AND WHY IS TOYOTA NOT RECALLING THIS PARTS FOR THE COSTUMER AS IS EVIDENT THAT IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND SHOULD NOT BE AN EXPENSE OF THE CONSUMER.

I WAS TRYING TO BACK OUT OF AN EXTENDED PARKING AREA AT CHURCH, A GRASSY AREA WITH PEBBLES. SO, I WAS BACKING OUT VERY CAREFULLY SO AS TO NOT HIT THE ROW OF CARS PARKED BEHIND ME. SUDDENLY AS I WAS BACKING OUT, THE TOYOTA BEGAN TO MOVE BACKWARDS VERY FAST WITH A LOUD ROAR (RACECAR SOUND). WHILE IN A STATE OF TERROR I HAD TO WRESTLE THE TOYOTA AWAY FROM THE OTHER PARKED CARS AS MUCH AS I COULD AND KEEP TRYING TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULDN'T MOVE. THE TOYOTA STRUCK A RED CAR THAT DRAGGED THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE, FROM THE FRONT OF THE TOYOTA TO THE END OF THE TOYOTA. STILL WRESTLING WITH THE WHEEL OF THE TOYOTA, I ENDED UP SLAMMING BACKWARDS INTO AN 8T FT. CHAIN LINK FENCE, ON THE CHURCH PROPERTY. MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE, AS THE TOYOTA SLAMS INTO THE FENCE, THE TOYOTA THEN STOPPED. BREAK AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL RETURNED TO WHAT FELT LIKE A NORMAL POSITION. I THEN PULLED THE TOYOTA UP AND AWAY FROM THE FENCE AND OUT A BIT AWAY FROM THE ROW OF CARS , SO THAT I COULD GET OUT OF THE TOYOTA. THEN I ASKED THE YOUNG MAN WHO WATCHED IT ALL, IF HE WOULD GO GET THE OWNER OF THE CAR I HAD DAMAGED.

I INITIALLY BEGAN NOTICING THAT WHEN THE AC DOES NOT BLOW COLD AIR WHEN TURNED ON THAT ALL OF THE GAUGES ON MY DASHBOARD STOP WORKING INCLUDING, SPEEDOMETER DROPPING TO 0 WHILE I AM DRIVING SO THAT I DO NOT KNOW AT WHAT SPEED I AM DRIVING, MY GAS GAUGE INEXPLICABLY DROPS TO EMPTY, LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD STOP WORKING AND MY DASHBOARD GOES DARK, RPM GAUGE FLICKERS WILDLY, BRAKE & ABS LIGHTS DO NOT GO OFF, AND OCCASIONALLY THE CAR STOPS BUT WITH HESITATION WHEN BRAKING, ALONG WITH INTERIOR FOGGING OF ALL WINDOWS WHEN IT RAINS (SOMETIMES DEFROSTER/FANS WORK TO DEFOG WINDOWS BUT SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT CAUSING MY VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING TO BE SUBSTANTIALLY AND DANGEROUSLY REDUCED). DURING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I BELIEVED THAT THE ISSUES MIGHT BE RELATED TO AN EARLIER RECALL SO I CALLED THE TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY INDICATED THAT IT MAY BE RELATED BUT TO TAKE THE CAR TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO CONFIRM. I TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA OF HOLLYWOOD AND THE MANAGER STATED THAT IT WAS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL AND THAT THE MAIN COMPUTER WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSING THE SUBCOMPUTERS TO ALSO MALFUNCTION AND ESTIMATED A REPAIR PRICE OF $2500. WHILE I WAS DOING MY ONLINE RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT MANY 2007 CAMRYS ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES I AM HAVING AND IN ADDITION, THE TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRIDS HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUES AS WELL. I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD INCUR THE EXPENSE OF REPAIRS FOR ISSUES THAT SEEM TO BE RELATED TO A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT STRUTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE WERE LEAKING OIL. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE FRONT STRUTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

I PURCHASED MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE IN MAY 2006 (THE VIN PLATE SHOWS IT WAS MADE IN KENTUCKY). 2007 WAS A NEW BODY STYLE. THE CAMRY HAD A TACH WELD DEFECT IN THE RIGHT REAR FENDER WELL. ORIGINALLY THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS MY REAR GRAB HANDLE SHAKING. I KNEW IT WASN'T. HAVING NO OTHER RECOURSE, I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE. THEY FLEW IN 2 TECH SERVICE ENGINEERS FROM CA TO MY STATE, AND WITH THE DEALER, THEY DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY (OR NO) TACH WELD IN THE RR FENDER WELL CAUSING THE FRAME OF THE BODY TO STRIKE TOGETHER. THE CAR WAS SENT TO A WELDING SHOP AND THE DEFECT WAS REPAIRED. IT'S NOW SEPTEMBER 2015 AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO I BEGAN TO HEAR THE "TINK TINK" SOUND AGAIN- INDICATING THE SAME, OR ANOTHER, FAULTY TACH WELD. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE AGAIN (JUST NOW), AND AM WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. SINCE THIS IS ESSENTIALLY THE FRAME OF THE CAR, I'M VERY CONCERNED. (ADDITIONALLY I HAD EXTENSIVE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR BUT UNLESS I CONSTANTLY RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER/SHOP I COULDN'T MEET THE LEMON LAW THRESHOLD IN MY STATE. FOR EXAMPLE, WATER POURED OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS LEAVES IN THE A PILLAR. I PARK MY CAR IN A GARAGE.)

I TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER (MORRISTOWN TOYOTA ON JUN 20,2015) TO CHECK WHY THE LIGHT ENGINE IS ON. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS ' TECH SCANNED FOR CODES AND FOUND PO137 OXYGEN SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW BANK 1 SENSOR 2' NOT SURE IF THIS IS NORMAL TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FOR A CAR LIKE CAMRY. BESIDES, IT HAS SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT. I HAVE WARRANTY AT THAT TIME, ALL THOSE WERE COVERED. I AM REALLY CONCERN THE QUALITY OF THIS MANUFACTURER. I AM BRINGING THIS ISSUE HERE TO SEE IF THIS IS A REAL ISSUE OR NOT AND OTHER SHOULD BE CONCERN ABOUT THIS.

THE SEAT BELT DID NOT SECURELY HOLD ME IN WHEN THE CAR BEHIND ME HIT ME, I WAS AT A DEAD STOP AND WAS REAR ENDED, THE AIR BAGS ALSO DID NOT DEPLOY, AND MY FACE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FORCE OF THE REAR ENDING PUSHED ME INTO THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME, THE CAR WAS TOTALED. I SUFFERED A CONCUSSION, WHIP LASH, WRIST AND ELBOW INJURY AND LOWER BACK WAS HURT AFTER THE IMPACT. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT THANKFULLY OTHERWISE I COULD HAVE HIT THE WIND SHIELD.

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STANDING START AFTER A HARD BRAKE MY CAR LURCHES AS IT SPEEDS UP.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL, IT BURNS A LOT OF OIL OR ENGINE MAY EXHIBIT ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION) AND THERE IS NO POWER AT THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER PLUG ON BOTH OF THEM. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT THE FUSE FOR IT MUST BE BLOWN. I CHECKED THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD, BUT THERE IS NOTHING BROKEN.

I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN PALM DESERT CALIFORNIA IN 2007. IN NOVEMBER 2013, I MOVED TO PINELLAS PARK FLORIDA AND MY DASHBOARD BECAME VERY STICKY. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE IN THE LAST YEAR. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE ACTUAL DASHBOARD. THE DASH BOARD IS MELTING. I WANT TO HAVE IT REPLACED. MY CAR HAS UNDER 45,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION. HOW DO I GO ABOUT MAKING TOYOTA RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DASHBOARD?

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED FOR NO REASON. CAN NOT FIND OR SEE ANY PLACE ON THE WINDOW WHICH MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIT WITH A STONE BEEBEE OR PAINT BALL. NO OBVIOUS POINT OF FAILURE.

I WAS DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED AND WHILE DRIVING MY VISOR ON MY DRIVER SIDE SNAPPED OFF AND LANDED IN MY LAP. IT HAS TO COMPLETELY BE REPLACED. I HAVE ONLY USED THIS VISOR A FEW TIMES AS NEEDED FOR SUN GLAIRS.

THE PRIMARY SAFETY CONCERNS REGARDING MY COMPLAINT ARE A MALFUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER AND A MALFUNCTIONING ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM; HOWEVER, THERE ARE OTHERS, WHICH I WILL DESCRIBE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT COMPLETELY CRAZY. SPECIFICALLY, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO (AS I WAS DRIVING 40MPH) THE TACHOMETER STARTED BOUNCING UP AND DOWN BETWEEN 0 AND 2 OR 3, THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON. THEN, EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL BEFORE I COULD PULL OVER. I SOON REALIZED ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS LIKE THE TEMP GAUGE GOING LIMP AND THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWING HOT AIR ALONG WITH OTHER THINGS. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED ALL TOGETHER BUT ON AND OFF AT RANDOM INTERVALS. I DID SOME RESEARCH, WHICH LED ME TO THE ABS ISSUE. ACCORDING TO OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THE REPAIR IS $2K-$3K AND MANY HAD STORIES OF DEALERS MAKING VARIOUS COSTLY REPAIRS THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I WORK FOR MINIMUM WAGE, THIS IS MY ONLY CAR, AND IT IS 110 DEGREES IN MY TOWN. DRIVING WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING HERE IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ONE PERSON SUGGESTED UNPLUGGING THE FAULTY ABS MODULE TO REGAIN AIR CONDITIONING. WHEN I DID THIS THE AIR CONDITIONING DID IN FACT START WORKING ALONG WITH THE TACHOMETER AND TEMP GAUGE. THE SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, AND SEAT BELT ALARM STILL DO NOT WORK. FURTHERMORE, THIS IS NO LONGER INTERMITTENT BUT CONSTANT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALL REMAIN ON. AN ABS MALFUNCTION COULD BE DISASTROUS IN WET WEATHER. THE LACK OF A SPEEDOMETER IS A SAFETY

ON 3/4/15 I HAD AN OIL CHANGE AT CONRAD'S. ON 3/11/15 I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO TOYOTA FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. AT THIS TIME THEY ASKED WHEN MY LAST OIL CHANGE WAS AND I STATED 3/4/15. THEY SAID THEY TYPICALLY LIKE TO PERFORM THE OIL CHANGE BEFORE THE TEST BUT THAT OIL CHANGE WAS RECENT ENOUGH TO USE. WHEN THEY CHECKED MY OIL THEY SAID MY CAR ARRIVED WITH NO OIL READING ON THE DIPSTICK AND THAT IT WAS MORE THAN ONE QUART LOW ON OIL. I EXPLAINED HOW COULD THAT BE I HAVE NO OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY OR ANYWHERE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THEY WOULD NEED TO DO AN OIL CHANGE OR THEY COULDN'T DO THE TEST. I CALLED CONRAD'S THEY STATED THAT IS NOT TRUE AND IT'S THERE WORD AGAINST TOYOTA. I HAD TOYOTA PERFORM THE OIL CHANGE AND THEY ALSO SEALED THE ENGINE OFF FOR THE TEST. ON 4/22/15 I RETURNED AS I HAD REACHED 1200 MILES SINCE THE START OF THE TEST. AT THAT POINT THEY STATED MY CAR PASSED AND THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS GOOD. IN JUNE I WAS HEADED OUT OF TOWN AND THE OIL LIGHT FLASHED ON AS I EXITED THE HIGHWAY. AT THAT POINT WE ADDED TWO QUARTS OF OIL. NOW IT IS 8-5-15 AND MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THE ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING. WE ADDED TWO QUARTS OF OIL BUT IT'S TOO LATE. THE NOISE COMING FROM INSIDE THE ENGINE DID NOT STOP. CALLED TOYOTA TODAY AND TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE SAID I COULD BRING IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT. I WILL HAVE TO TOW IT UP THERE AS I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S DRIVABLE. NEXT OIL CHANGE WAS 9-7-15 OR 92481 MILES. CURRENT MILAGE 94014. IT APPEARS THAT THE CAR IS BURNI

IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING, BECAUSE OF IT THE DASHBOARD IS COVERED WITH STICKY SHINE SUBSTANCE. THE SUBSTANCE GIVES OF A STRONG GLARE WHILE DRIVING. ALSO THE DASHBOARD IS BECOMING BRITTLE.

TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 THE PROBLEM IS THE DASHBOARD WHICH IS STICKY AND I DON'T LIKE . PLEASE IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THANK YOU ! *TR

WHEN DRIVING CAME UP THE ABS, BRAKE AND ENGINE LIGHTS. WHEN I CHECK WITH A TOYOTA DEALER, THEY INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE ACTUATOR ASSY BRAKE (COST OF $2,251.44 INSTALLED). LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE DANGER OF THE SITUATION FOUND THAT THE CAMRY HYBRID 2007 HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND TOYOTA AGREED TO EXTEND A 10 YEAR GUARANTEE OR 150K MILES UNTIL 2017. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS NOT VIABLE FOR ME NOW, AND CANNOT USE THE CAR, GIVEN THE SAFETY ISSUES INVOLVED.

MY CAR STARTED USING OIL AT 115,000-123,000 MILES. I TOOK IT IN 2-3 MONTHS AGO AND TOYOTA PERFORMED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. MY CAR USED 1.6 QUARTS OF OIL DURING THAT TIME, IT DID NOT HAVE ANY EXTERNAL LEAKS WHEN THEY PERFORMED THIS TEST. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND THIS MUCH OIL CONSUMPTION IS NORMAL. USING THE MUCH OIL IS NOT NORMAL AND IT WAS NOT USING OIL BEFORE THE 115,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD SINCE IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL THAT IF I WANTED THE VALVE SEALS REPAIRED IT WOULD BE UNDER MY EXPENSE. THIS IS NOT A NEW COMPLAINT ABOUT THE 2007 CAMRY AND THE INTERNET HAS NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS HAVING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND SOME WERE WORSE THAN MINE. TOYOTA SHOULD OWN UP TO THIS DEFECT AND FIX IT.

LOSING ENGINE OIL AFTER 1000 MILES . HAVE TO BE A ENGINE FAULT .

I HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A SEVERE OIL LOSS IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 97000 MILES. I HAVE ALWAYS COMPLETED TIMELY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES AND NEVER HAVE HAD AN ISSUE UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO. THE FIRESTONE DEALER WHERE I HAVE MY VEHICLE SERVICED DETERMINED I HAD A SEVERE OIL LOSS AND CAN'T LOCATE WHERE MY OIL LEAK IS ORIGINATING FROM. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED TOYOTA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE DEALER HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALLS. IN ADDITION THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED IN SPRING 2014 FOR THIS ISSUE WITH NUMEROUS TOYOTA MODELS.

DASHBOARD RECAL AS THE TITLE APTLY SUGGESTS, MY CAMRY'S DASHBOARD HAS MELTED DUE TO THE EXTREME HEAT. MY WINDSHIELD HAS NO TINT AND I SOMETIMES FORGET TO PUT UP THE WINDSHIELD FOIL COVER WHEN I PARK. THE DASHBOARD NOW FEELS VERY STICKY AND WHEN I LEAVE THE CAR UNDER THE SUN FOR A LONG STRETCH, I CAN ACTUALLY RUB OFF SOME OF THE DASHBOARD'S RUBBER COATING SURFACE IF I TOUCH IT. IT ALSO HAS SEVERAL SCRATCHES DUE TO ACCIDENTAL HITS FROM FINGERNAILS AND SUCH, AND A LOT OF SCRATCHES FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD FOIL COVER (YES, THE DASHBOARD IS NOW THAT SOFT). I'M AFRAID TO APPLY ANYTHING ON IT AS THIS MIGHT JUST MAKE ITS CONDITION WORSE. MY LAST OPTION IS TO USE A DASHBOARD COVER TO HIDE THE SCRATCHES AND PREVENT THE DASHBOARD FROM GETTING DAMAGED FURTHER. MY CONCERNS WITH THIS OPTION ARE: WHERE DO I BUY A GOOD/DECENT-LOOKING DASHBOARD COVER FOR MY CAR? (MY DASHBOARD IS COLOR BLACK). I'M BASED IN FORT BUCHANAN, GUAYNABO AND WOULD THIS GET IN THE WAY OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG? ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS ASIDE FROM MY IDEA ABOVE, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO EXPRESS THEM. HELP DESPERATELY NEEDED. THANKS [XXX] [XXX] TODAY I HAVE ATTEMPTED IN CONTACTING YOU ON THE NUMBER YOU PROVIDED WITH A NEGATIVE RESULT. THE NUMBER RINGS AND IMMEDIATELY GOES INTO A OCCUPIED MODE.

ENGINE COILS KEEP GOING BAD HAD IT REPLACED AT THE TOYOTA DEALER AND CONTINUES TO FAIL. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN AS I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATION IT WOULD ONLY REACH 30 MPH, AND MY CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF. I ALMOST CRASHED DUE TO THAT INCIDENT NOT TO MENTION IT CONTINUES HAPPEN. I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT NOR ANY HARM TO MY CHILDREN. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT IS LOCKED, AND UNABLE TO USE. I HAD MY POWER WINDOW ALSO FAILED TO WORK ON SOME OCCASIONS I HAVE TO MANUALLY PUSH IT UP. I SO LOVE MY TOYOTA BUT THERE ARE ALSO 8 OTHER RECALL TO WHICH I CAN ALSO RELATE TO.

ABS MODULE FAILURE DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT. INTERNAL SHORTING IN MODULE CAUSE CARS COMPUTER CAN SYSTEM TO GO DOWN. ABS BRAKING STOPS WORKING, DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTS LOSE ALL SIGNALS AND GO TO ZERO. SPEED/RPM/TEMP/BRAKING LIGHTS COME ON ABS. TOTAL DASHBOARD CONFUSION. CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM STOPS WORKING.

THE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME STICKY AND GLOSSY, WHICH PUTS A GLARE ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE ON A SUNNY DAY. PART OF DASHBOARD CAME OFF WHEN A BUG GOT STUCK TO THE DASHBOARD AND WAS REMOVED WHILE CLEANING VEHICLE. SAW MANY REPORTS OF THIS AND TALK OF A RECALL, BUT NO RECALLS SHOW UP WHEN I ENTER MY INFORMATION ON THE CAR.

[XXX] MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE FOUR DOOR AUTOMATIC SEDAN HAS INTERMITTENT ERRATIC PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL: THE ABS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE TACHOMETER, THERMOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES BOUNCE UP AND DOWN THE EVENTS LAST FOR A FEW SECONDS TO TEN MINUTES, EPISODES OCCUR SPORADICALLY AND THE CAR CONTINUES TO DRIVE NORMALLY DURING THE EVENTS. I CALLED TOYOTA (800) 331-4331 AND ASKED FOR A WARRANTY EXTENSION TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, DENIED BY TOYOTA. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. ON JULY 1, 2015, CENTRAL FLORIDA TOYOTA IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA TRIED TO CHARGE ME $59.00, I REFUSED TO PAY AND THEY EVENTUALLY PROCEEDED TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT CHARGE. THE REPAIR ESTIMATE GIVEN TO ME SAYS, "$2,217.05 FOR ABS ACTUATOR ASSY., R&R.? THE MECHANIC SAID THIS IS SERIOUS; THE BRAKES CAN LOCK UP WHILE I AM DRIVING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET BUT TOYOTA CORPORATE SAID THIS PROBLEM IS NOT SUBJECT TO A RECALL OR A REPORTED PROBLEM. (JUST GOOGLE, "2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ON". CONSUMER COMPLAINANTS ALLEGE THAT THE BOSCH ABS ECU HAS A FLAW IN CIRCUIT BOARD DESIGN.) THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM AND SO COMMON AS TO INDICATE THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED FREE BY TOYOTA. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER.
