2007 Toyota Camry complaints

MY CAR HAS BEEN BURNING UP OIL SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED IT IN 2006. I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND HAVE BEEN RECENTLY RESEARCHING THIS EXCESSIVE OIL PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD NO LETTER FROM TOYOTA ABOUT IT, BUT I SEE THAT THE TOYOTA DEALERS HAVE GOTTEN A BULLETIN ABOUT THIS. WHEN I ACTUALLY NOTICED THE PROBLEM IT WAS BECAUSE MY CAR WAS MAKING STRANGE NOISES AND I DECIDED TO CHECK MY FLUID LEVELS. MY OIL LIGHT NEVER COMES ON TO MAKE ME AWARE THAT MY CAR IS LOW ON OIL. THEN I CHECK THE DIPSTICK TO SEE THAT IT IS DRY!!! MY CAR NOW HAS 154,000 MILES ON IT AND THE PROBLEM IS GETTING EVEN WORSE. I HAVE HAD TO ADD A QUART OF OIL EVER 400 MILES. THIS IS NOT NEW TO ME SINCE I BUY OIL CONSTANTLY AND CHECK MY DIPSTICK EVERY OTHER DAY. I JUST RECENTLY CALLED A TOYOTA DEALER TO GET MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEED A COPY OF ALL MY RECEIPTS FROM EVERY OIL CHANGE? I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE REASONING BEHIND THAT. ALSO I HAVE MADE DIFFERENT DEALERS AWARE OF MY PROBLEM AND I HAVE EVEN SENT AN EMAIL TO THE TOYOTA CORP. NOW THAT THERE IS A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE WARRANTY PERIOD?!? I HAVE HAD TO ALSO REPLACE MY CAT AND 4 MONTHS LATER MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND IT IS READING THE SAME CAT CODE WHEN I HAD IT CHECKED. I AM WONDERING IF THE EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING IS ACTUALLY CLOGGING MY CATS.

I AM CONTACTING YOU TO REPORT THE ISSUE I AM HAVING WITH MY TOYOTA CAMRY. I HAD TO SPEND ~$2,500 TO REPLACE ALL FOUR STRUTS WITH ONLY 36,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A WELL MAINTAINED CAR (I FOLLOW THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE REGULARLY) AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. THIS ISSUE CAN MAKE DRIVING HAZARDOUS SINCE IT WILL IMPACT BREAKS AND TRACTION. I HAD THE MAINTENANCE DONE IN NOV 2014 AT MY REGULAR DEALERSHIP IN GREEN BROOK, NJ AND ALSO GOT THE CAR INSPECTED FOR NY REGISTRATION RENEWAL IN MARCH 2015. BOTH ASSESSMENTS REPORTED THAT EVERYTHING WAS OK WITH THE CAR. HOWEVER, DURING MY VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON JULY 3RD 2015, I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE ALL FOURS STRUTS, A TOTAL COST OF ~$2500. I HAVE DRIVEN ONLY ~ 2,000 MILES BETWEEN MY TWO VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS COMPLETELY STOCKED TO HEAR THIS. WHEN I RESEARCHED ONLINE, I SAW SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT STRUT ISSUE AT LOW MILEAGE WITH 2007 CAMRY. AND IT IS NOT A NORMAL SITUATION FOR STRUTS TO LEAK AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. BEING A RESPONSIBLE DRIVER, I HAVE GOTTEN ALL THE REPAIRS DONE. HOWEVER, THIS APPEARS TO AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND NOT JUST MY CAR. AND POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE MODEL/PART. I AM HOPING THAT YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS AND HELP IDENTIFY WHETHER TOYOTA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. NOT EVERY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE WILL BE WILLING TO SPEND SUCH A HEFTY AMOUNT TO GET APPROPRIATE REPAIRS DONE IMMEDIATELY. AND MANY MAY NOT EVEN REALIZE THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY C

SUDDENLY NO POWER BRAKES. VERY LOW BRAKE FLUID. RESERVOIR APPEARED EMPTY. POWER BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED. REPLACEMENT PARTS HARD TO FIND AND EXPENSIVE.

CAR HAS FOR SOME TIMES BEEN MAKING CLUNKING, KNOCKING NOISE FROM STEERING . CAR WAS INSPECTED BY MY MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT MUST BE REPLACED, CALLED TOYOTA & WAS TOLD NO COVERAGE TO COVER THE REPAIR.

DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO OUT BY THEMSELVES. TO GET THEM ON AGAIN I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE SWITCH ON AND OFF. I WAS STOPPED TWIC BY STATE TROOPER AND GIVEN A WARNING.

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 THIS PROBLEM STARTED TWO DAYS AGO, 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. 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.

USES EXCESSIVE OIL - OIL IS LOW BEFORE IT IS TIME FOR SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE. WHEN MOTOR IS PUT IN REVERSE, THE MOTOR VIBRATES ( EVEN THE FRONT SEATS). IT VIBRATES AND MAKES NOISES WHEN DRIVING OR JUST IDLE.

THE WATER TEMPERATURE, RPM GUAGE AND SPEEDOMETER RANDOMLY FLUCTUATE, ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON. A/C WILL RANDOMLY STOP WORKING.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE ABOUT 55 MILES AN HOUR ON A THREE LANE INTERSTATE FREEWAY. I WAS IN THE SLOW LANE AND MY CAR SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY TURNED TO THE LEFT, CAUSING THE CAR TO HIT A LARGE RV IN THE CENTER LANE. THE CAR CONTINUE SPINNING ACROSS THE FAST LANE (IT'S AMAZING NO CARS WERE IN THAT LANE BECAUSE TRAFFIC WAS FAIRLY HEAVY). THE BACK END OF MY CAR HIT THE CENTER CEMENT BARRIER HARD (CAR TOTALED) AND I CAME TO A STOP ON THE INSIDE SHOULDER FACING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF WHERE I WAS ORIGINALLY TRAVELING. THE AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF AND THE LOCKING PART OF THE SEATBELT DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK. I COULD HAVE BEEN EASILY KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE. I WILL CONTACT TOYOTA. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS.

, TACHOMETER, ABS BREAKS, ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAGE, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE GAGE ALL SPORADICALLY FAIL.

ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON AND SPEED ODOMETER STOPS AND ALL START BACK UP. ALSO THE AIR CONDITION START BLOWING OUT LESS AIR AND ONCE THE LIGHTS GOES OFF EVERYTHING START BACK WORKING NORMAL. CALLED TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THAT ITS NO RECALL, BUT THIS IS CRAZY BECAUSE ITS TO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING- IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

I WAS GOING TO WORK WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR FLOPPED DOWN AND I HAD TO MOVE IT TO THE SIDE SO THAT I COULD SEE. THERE WAS NEVER ANY PROBLEM BEFORE NOW. SO FAR THE PASSENGER VISOR STAYS IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION. I WILL BE CALLING THE DEALER TOMORROW AS I HAVE AN OIL CHANGE SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE AND FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR NOT STARTING IF IT IS ON UNLEVEL GROUND. I ASSUMED IT WAS SOMETHING IN THE GAS I HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED BUT THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE CASE. IF MY CAR IS PARKED ON UNLEVEL GROUND, I NOW HAVE TO PLACE THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH THE CAR TO A LEVEL GROUND IN ORDER FOR IT TO START. I RECENTLY HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT HAD TO BE A SENSOR IN THE FUEL PUMP CAUSING MY CAR TO RESPOND IN ONE OF TWO WAYS: 1) THERE WAS NO GAS IN THE TANK OR 2) THE ANTITHEFT SENSOR WAS ON AND THE CAR DOESN'T START IF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STOLEN. I HAD A FULL TANK AT THE TIME SO OPTION 1 WAS DEFINITELY NOT THE CASE. THIS ISSUE IS CONTINUOUS, IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS ISSUE WHERE YOUR CAR WON'T START IF YOU ARE ON UNLEVEL GROUND??? ...UPDATED08/20/15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. UPDATED 11/27/15*JS

1. PLASTIC STRIP ON PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG KEEPS POPPING OPEN. 2. THE WHOLE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING; AND THE SUN BURNED A SPOT ON THE FRONT OF THE RADIO.

MY TIRE SENSOR LIGHT REMAINS ON, EVEN WHEN THE TIRES HAVE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF AIR IN THEM.

I TOOK MY TOYOTA IN TO TOYOTA RIVERSIDE CALIF. BOTH VISORS WOULD NOT STAY UP SO THE REPLACED AND CHARGED ME 223.26. ON MARCH 20TH 2015 THE DRIVERS SIDE WOULD NOT STAY UP AND I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND THE REPRESENATIVE SAID SINCE MY CAR WAS A 07 IT ONLY COVERED FOR THE RECALL 7 YEARS AND MY CARS MANUFACTURE DATED SEPT 07 SO I WAS 6 MONTHS TO LATE TO GET THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. SO I CALLED TOYOTA MOTOR CORP IN TORRANCE AND THEY INFORMED THAT SINCE I PAID FOR THE VISORS TO GET FIXED AND PAID FOR THEM THEY WOULD GIVE ME A REFUND BACK. THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE TO GET FIXED AND I TOLD THEM THAT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY KNEW I HAD ALREADY REPLACED THEM AND THE DRIVERS SIDE DID THE SAME THING AS THE ORIGINAL DEFECT. I THINK THIS IS THERE ISSUE TO REPLACE THE VISOR EVEN THOUGH IT WAS 6 MONTHS TO LATE FROM THE DATE THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. THEY NEVER FIXED THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM WITH THE VISOR RECALL, THEY JUST REPLACED IT. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET THE VISOR CORRECTED.

WHEN DRIVING DOWNHILL WITH FOOT DEPRESSED ON BRAKE THE VEHICLE WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE, ABS LIGHT GAME ON AND BRAKE LIGHT SIMULTANEOUSLY , SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, TACH WENT CRAZY AND CAR BEGAN TO IDLE ROUGHLY AND TRY TO SURGE FORWARD WITH FOOT ON BRAKES

ON 11/19/2013, I FLIPPED MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE AIR BAGS NEVER CAME OUT. I REPORTED TO TOYOTA CORPORATION AND THEY NEVER OFFERED AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS.

MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, ABS BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON, ODOMETER METER DANCES, AND AIR CONDITIONING POPS ON AND OFF, ALL OCCURRED AT THE SAME TIME. IT STARTED HAPPENING WHEN I REPLACED MY REAR BREAKS. I AM TRYING TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I SEE SO MANY COMPLAINS ON ELECTRICAL STUFF. BUT IT SEEMS THAT TOYOTA REFUSES RECALL TOYOTA CAMRY 2007. AND TO FIX IT AROUND $4,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS CONSUMING OIL EXCESSIVELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING UP TO SPECIFICATIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS DID NOT PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

*******2ND COMPLAINT******WE BOUGHT A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN OCTOBER 06 AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING LOW OIL LEVELS FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS, THE OIL LEVEL HAS GOTTEN SO LOW THAT THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. WE HAVE BEEN REPORTING THE PROBLEM TO TWO SEPARATE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND THEY'VE ASKED ME TO RETURN THE CAR FOR OIL CHECKS AFTER 1000 MILES, WHICH SHOW A LOST OF OVER A QUART OF OIL. OUR TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN TELLING US THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THE CAMRY TO CONSUME OVER A QUART OF OIL AFTER 1000 TO 3,000 MILES AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM TO FIX. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH FIDELITY AND A SERVICE SPECIALIST BY THE NAME OF [XXX] AT TOYOTA OF ORLANDO BEEN GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND ABOUT GETTING FIDELITY TO GIVE THEM THE GO AHEAD TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. HE SAID THAT HE HAS CALLED FIDELITY A COUPLE OF TIMES TO GET AUTHORIZATION BUT THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN BACK WITH HIM BUT WILL CONTACT US WHEN HE GETS THE OK. IT HAS BEEN OVER TWO WEEKS SINCE HE SAID HE HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET THE GO AHEAD FROM FIDELITY, SO WE DECIDED TO CALL FIDELITY TO FIND OUT WHY THEY WERE DELAYING GIVING THE DEALERSHIP THE GO AHEAD TO FIX THE CAR, SEEING THAT WE HAVE THE PLATINUM PLACE. FIDELITY INFORMED US THAT NO ONE FROM TOYOTA OF ORLANDO HAS EVER CONTACTED THEM AT ANY TIME ABOUT OUR 2007 CAMRY. WE THEN SPOKE WITH A SERVICE MANAGER BY THE NAME OF [XXX] AND HE HAS BEEN GIVING ME THE SAME STORY ABOUT IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR THE CAMRY TO CONSUME OVER A QUART OF OIL BETWEEN 1000 TO 3000 MILES, SO

ON APRIL 1, 2015, I REPORTED THAT BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON FREQUENTLY AND THE AIR CONDITIONER GOES OFF. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE ALSO NOTED INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES WHEN HAVING TO STOP FAST. I AM CONCERNED THAT IN AN EMERGENCY STOPPING SITUATION, THE ABS WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY WHICH WILL CAUSE A CRASH. AS I REPORTED PREVIOUSLY, THE DEALERSHIP INDICATES THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THIS IS HARD TO BELIEVE IN LIGHT OF ALL THE ENTRIES ON THE INTERNET. ALSO, THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THE CAMRY HYBRID FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

FOR MANY MONTHS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION SOON AFTER CAR BEING SERVICED. LESS THAN 2 WEEKS OIL HAS DEPLETED. CAUSING ENGINE NOT TO START OR STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC THAN CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR A POSSIBLE FIRE BECAUSE NO OIL. THEREFORE AFFECTING OTHER PARTS OF THE CAR EVENTUALLY. TOYOTA HAS RELEASED EXTENDED WARRANTY AND KNEW ABOUT THIS MATTER FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. BUT ARE TELLING ITS CUSTOMERS THEY ARE WORKING ON PUTTING PART TOGETHER TO REPLACE THOSE PARTS AT THEIR EXPENSE. HOWEVER, AS CUSTOMERS, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED DATES OF WHEN OUR VEHICLES WILL BE FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR STRUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS LEAKING OIL. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE STRUT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS MAKING AN ABNORMAL SQUEAKING SOUND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

STRUTS ON CAMRY HAVING BEEN LEAKING BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRED. SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE I KNOW WITH CAMRY HAS SAME PROBLEM. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL?

I BOUGHT A USED 2007 CAMRY FROM TOYOTA DEALER. SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT IT, THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. SO I IMMEDIATELY CHANGED THE OIL. BUT EVERY 1500 MILES AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THEY KEEP ON SAYING THIS IS NORMAL.

VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENT ELECTRIC PROBLEMS WITH THE GAUGES AND ABS MODULE DOES NOT ENGAGE WHEN BRAKING.. RED ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT LIGHT ON, AND ALL GAUGES DO NOT FUNCTION EXCEPT TEMPERATURE AND GAS GAUGE .

THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP 3 YEARS AGO AND IT ONLY HAD 42,000 MILES. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DID NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND WOULD JERK SUDDENLY AS IT SHIFTED IN LOWER GEARS. RECENTLY I WAS HEARING NOISE FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHERE THE TRANSMISSION IS LOCATED. BROUGHT IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THAT ORIGINALLY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE WATER PUMP AND THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE DIAGNOSIS DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME AND SUSPECTED MAYBE THE DEALER DIDN'T WANT TO ADMIT THAT THE TRANSMISSION THEY HAD REPLACED WAS HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION. THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE CAR HAS NEVER LEAKED FLUID AND HAS NEVER OVERHEATED WHICH ARE SYMPTOMS OF WATER PUMP PROBLEMS. I DECIDED TO HAVE THEM CHANGE THE WATER PUMP SINCE TWO SEPARATE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS WERE TELLING ME THIS WAS THE PROBLEM AND WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE NOISE. DROVE THE CAR HOME AND THE GRINDING NOISE WAS STILL THERE. I DECIDED TO GIVE IT SOME TIME AND MAYBE THE NOISE WOULD GO AWAY EVENTUALLY. TWO DAYS AFTER GETTING THE CAR WORKED ON THE NOISE GOT LOUDER. I DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO HAVE THE DEALER CHECK IT AGAIN. ON MY WAY THERE, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP GEARS. IT GOT A POINT WHERE THE CAR COULD BARELY DRIVE 20 MILES/HR. MY TRANSMISSION WENT COMPLETELY OUT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE TRANSMISSION IS BROKEN. WHAT REALLY FRUSTRATES ME IS THAT I HAVE ONLY PU

CLUNK, POP AND KNOCK IN STEERING WHEEL. SLOPPY STEARING WHEEL . LIKELY NEEDS NEW INTERMEDIATE SHAFT BECAUSE OF MANUFATURER DEFECTIVE PART AS OUTLINED IN TOYOTA TECHNICAL SERVICE BELLETIN: ST002-07

SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER GOES TO ZERO OR TACHOMETER (RPMS) NEEDLE BOUNCES AROUND. ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS GO ON, TEMPERATURE GAUGE GOES TO ZERO. AIR CONDITIONING STOPS BLOWING COLD AIR. ALL HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS.

5/13/2015: 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. VSC (VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL) LIGHT CAME ON (5/9/2015). IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. HAD TO FLOOR THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE, NOT TIGHT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL MOVEMENTS. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (NEW COUNTRY TOYOTA OF CLIFTON PARK, NY) WHERE WE BOUGHT IT 9 MONTHS AGO AND THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON PART THAT FAILS. IF THIS IS TRUE, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL...THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I AM THANKFUL THAT MY SON DIDN'T GET IN AN ACCIDENT. THEY NOW WANT $2500 TO REPAIR IT. WHEN WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR OUR SON 9 MONTHS AGO, THEY SAID THAT WE CAN GET 250,000 MILES OUT OF IT, IT WAS A VERY SAFE CAR FOR OUR SON TO BE IN....I BEG TO DIFFER!!! I SEE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS LISTED FOR THIS ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTOL AND HOPE THERE WILL BE A RECALL.

AT THE FIRST DAY OF WARM WEATHER, THE SUN SEEMED TO MELT THE DASH AND CAUSE A GLARE ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. IT GETS SO BAD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE DASH TOP SEEMS TO TURN TO A STICKY, GLUE SUBSTANCE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

MY CAR HAS A STICKY DASHBOARD AND IT'S SLOWLY DETERIORATING. IN THE SUMMER TIME IT'S VERY STICKY AND EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT.

MY DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND SEEMS TO BE MELTING HAS A GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD, AND THE SIDE WINDOW CASING OVER AIRBAGS ALONG WINDSHIELD WINDOWS IS WARPED AND KEEP POPING OUT EXPOSEING WIRES.I BOUGHT THIS CAR ONE YEAR AGO AND AS I WAS TOLD IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS SO WHAT AM I TO DO?

SUN VISOR BROKE, NOT ABLE TO RAISE VISOR COMPLETELY UP OR DOWN WHICH WHICH BLOCKS MY VISION LINE. *TR

DASHBOARD PANEL GAUGES STARTED TO FLUCTUATE. THEY BOUNCE UP AND DOWN. ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. AC STOPPED WORKING. I CALLED TO TOYOTA RECALL CENTER AND WAS DIRECTED TO GO TO A TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE THE CAR INSPECTED IN MY OWN COST....... *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CAMRY LE AND IN 2013 I NOTICED THE ABS AND BREAK LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, TACHOMETER BOUNCES UP AND DOWN AND SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 0. THIS KEPT HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IF IT DOESN'T SHOW THE CORRECT READING ON THE SPEEDO METER AND THE BREAKS MAY NOT FUNCTION AS EXPECTED WHICH MIGHT LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. I GOT IT CHECKED(DIAGNOSTICS TEST) AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR UNIT IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST WOULD BE AROUND $2000. I CALLED TOYOTA TO COMPLAIN SINCE THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC COMPONENT AND NOTHING REALLY RELATED TO WARE AND TEAR, THEY INDICATED THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR ABS ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT CAMRY HYBRIDS 2007 HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND TOYOTA IS PROVIDING "WARRANTY EXTENSION" FOR OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THE SAME WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR ABS ACTUATOR SHOULD APPLY TO 2007 CAMRY NON HYBRID MODELS ALSO. SEEKING NHTSA HELP IN THIS REGARD. *TR

ALL THE 4 STRUTS ARE LEAKING. I TOOK THE CAR FOR TIRE ROTATION AT GOODYEAR SERVICE STATION. THEY TOLD ME THAT ALL 4 STRUTS ARE LEAKING AND NEED REPLACEMENT. I THEN TOOK THE CAR OF NTB THEY SAID SAME THING. IT'S UNUSUAL FOR CARMY WITH 50000 MILES TO HAVE ALL 4 STRUTS LEAKING. I SEE LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE CAMRY. THE RIDE IS BUMPY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALER WITH COMPLAINT OF ENGINE VALVE NOISE. DEALER SAID NO WAY VALVE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR CARS AT THAT MILEAGE. LEFT WITH $1800 IN NON-ASSOCIATED REPAIRS. NOTICED ACCELERATING CONSUMPTION OF OIL. TRIED AGAIN TO GET A FIX WITH PCV VALVE AND ALL FILTERS REPLACED. CONSTANTLY TOPPING OFF WITH OIL BETWEEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES. WOULDN'T ACCEPT THE FACT THAT ENGINE VALVE SEALS WERE DEFECTIVE. NOT ON A TOYOTA WITH LESS THAN 90,000 MILES. FINALLY DID A MONITORING TEST A MONTH AGO AND REALIZED MY CAR HAD CONSUMED 4 QUARTS OF OIL IN ABOUT 1600 MILES. THE FIX COST ME ABOUT $2000. THEN I CHECK THIS WEBSITE ONLY TO FIND ABOUT 100 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY'S. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND TOYOTA'S CLAIM IN MY OWNER'S MANUAL THAT 1.1 QTS PER 600 MILES IS ACCEPTABLE IS RIDICULOUS. I'M CHECKING FOR PARTICIPATION IN A CLASS-ACTION SUIT. THEY NEED TO "FESS UP" TO THEIR DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING FLAW IF THEY EVER WANT ME BACK AS A NEW-CAR CUSTOMER AGAIN. ENGINES UNEXPECTEDLY SEIZING UP AT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAN KILL! *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS WERE ON. THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER WERE AT ZERO AND THE WATER TEMP METER WAS BOUNCING UP AND DOWN. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED ONE OF THE COMPUTER PARTS THAT CONTROLS THE DASH, THEY HAD TO HAVE THE ODOMETER READINGS SET PRIOR TO SHIPMENT. THE REPAIR COST AROUND $700, BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I DID A SEARCH ON-LINE AND OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CAMRY'S. SOME WERE CLAIMING THAT THE ISSUE IS WITH THE ABS MODULE. I UNPLUGGED THE ELECTRICAL LEAD TO THE ABS MODULE AND PLUGGED IT BACK IN AND THE ISSUE WAS CORRECTED FOR SEVERAL HOURS, BUT ULTIMATELY CAME BACK. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR LIKE THIS FOR WHILE AND IT ISSUE WITH THE DASH IS INTERMITTENT. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE THERMOMETER COMES AND GOES, THE INDICATOR OF WHICH GEAR I AM IN COMES ON AND GOES OFF AND THE ODOMETER DOES NOT ADVANCE WHEN THE DASH IS MALFUNCTIONING. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A PATTERN OF WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTS OR STOPS IT APPEARS TO BE RANDOM, IT SWITCHES FROM WORKING TO NOT SEVERAL TIMES AN HOUR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR LEVER FAILED TO SHIFT FROM PARK INTO REVERSE UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACED THE BRAKE STOP LIGHT SWITCH, BUT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO EMIT SMOKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

AFTER EVERY 1,000 I NEED TO ADD A QUART OF OIL. IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, EVERY 4,000 MILES, I NEED TO ADD 4 QUARTS OF OIL. WHERE IS THIS OIL GOING? I DON'T HAVE ANY OIL ON MY DRIVE WAY, GARAGE FLOOR, OR ANYWHERE ELSE. I ALWAYS TAKE IT TO TOYOTA TO GET IT SERVICED AND THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHERE IT IS GOING EITHER. DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON. TOYOTA HAS NO ANSWERS FOR ME. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL TOYOTA CAMRY, BUT THIS IS BY FAR, MY WORSE EXPERIENCE WITH A TOYOTA. VERY DISPOINTED AND NEED THIS RESOLVED SOON! *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, AND AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP I HEARD A WARNING DING, LOOKED DOWN, AND MY DASHBOARD READ "LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE." I FOUND THAT WARNING ODD CONSIDERING I HAVE ONLY PUT 2,000 MILES ON MY CAR SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE, I HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY OIL LEAKS IN MY PARKING SPOT OR UNDER MY CAR, AND I HAD MY TRANSMISSION SERVICED FOUR WEEKS AGO AND THERE WAS NO MENTION OF ANY LEAKS BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN. I PULL INTO THE WALMART PARKING LOT CLOSE BY, CHECK MY OIL, AND OIL LEVELS ARE NOT REGISTERING ON MY DIPSTICK. I QUICKLY BOUGHT 2 QUARTS OF THE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED WEIGHT OF OIL, PUT THEM IN, AND WENT DIRECTLY TO MY SERVICE STATION. THE SERVICE STATION TOOK ME IN IMMEDIATELY, COMPLETED THEIR INSPECTION, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANY LEAKS ANYWHERE. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE NO BAD SMELLS, NO SMOKE, NO SIGNS OF OIL BURNING, NOTHING. THEY RECOMMENDED AN OIL CHANGE, WHICH I DID. THE SERVICE STATION GAVE ME A 50% DISCOUNT ON THE SERVICE BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY 2 MONTHS AND 2,000 MILES SINCE I WAS LAST THERE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED THAT I KEEP A CASE OF OIL IN MY TRUNK, CHECK THE OIL LEVEL ONCE A WEEK, AND ADD OIL AS NEEDED. I THINK THIS IS A LOT OF OIL CONSUMPTION, AND A LOT OF WORK FOR SUCH A YOUNG VEHICLE. MY CAR IS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE 4 CYLINDER WITH 79,004 MILES AS OF 21 APRIL 2015. *TR

THE PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 40K MILES WITH MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2007, WHILE DRIVING THE BREAK LIGHT WARNING WOULD COME ON AS WELL AS THE ABS & PARKING WARNING LIGHT. THE ODOMETER & RPM GAUGES GO TO ZERO. WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING THE BREAKS TAKE HARDER AND LONGER TO ENGAGE. THE CAR SHAKES AS WELL WITH MINIMAL BREAKING EFFICIENCY. INTERMITTENTLY THE STEERING WHEELS ALSO BECOMES HARD TO TURN AND SHAKES VIGOROUSLY, WHICH WOULD CAUSE MY WRIST TO HURT. TOYOTA DEALER INDICATED THAT NEW BREAK ACTUATOR IS REQUIRED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY ASKED ME TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THE BREAK ACTUATOR PROBLEM. I FOLLOWED UP WITH ANOTHER LETTER TO THE EXECUTIVE AT TOYOTA, ABBASS SADDAT, VP. DANICA WITH EXECUTIVE OFFICE CONTACT ME BACK. SHE STARTED BY BRUSHING ME OFF INITIALLY. WHEN I INDICATED THAT THE SAME PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA FOR THE SAME YEAR FOR THE HYBRID VERSION, SHE INDICATED THAT OK, SO IT IS NOT FOR OUR GAS MODEL. I INDICATED THAT THE WHEN YOU CONTACT TOYOTA DEALER PARTS DEPARTMENT, IT IS THE SAME PART FOR BOTH GAS AND HYBRID. SO WHEN SHE HEARD THAT, SHE SAID, 'OHH' OK, LET ME INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. SHE MADE IT EVIDENT THAT HER JOB WAS TO BRUSH ME OFF, WITHOUT ACTUALLY LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM OR WANTING TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT TAKE INITIATIVE UNLESS A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC DIES OR GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. SO FAR I AM STILL WAITING FOR HE R CONTACTING ME CONFIRM HE DEALERS FINDING OR

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION BETWEEN OIL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE ABILITY TO BRAKE SEIZED. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANEUVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE ABS AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED OR DIAGNOSED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMERA THE AIR BAGS LIGHTS ON FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE ON AND THE SEATBELT LIGHT ON. *TR

- 2007 CAMRY HAS BEEN CONSUMING UNREAL AMOUNT OF ENGINE OIL. - I TOOK IT TO THE DELEARSHIP; AND THEY MENTIONED REPLACEMENT OF PISTONS WILL BE COVERED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY BUT IF THE ENGINE IS DAMAGED THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. AT THIS POINT, I AM NOT EVEN SURE THE PISTON IS NOT WORKING AS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO. - THE CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND THE DEFECT ON ENGINE WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION ONLY A MONTH AGO IN 2015. *TR
