2007 Toyota Camry complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

THE SUN VISOR BROKE WHEN I WAS USING IT WHILE THE SUN WAS COMING DOWN. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE THE SUN BLINDS YOU. TOYOTA DOES NOT PRODUCE RELIABLE CARS LIKE THEY USED TO. *TR

WE GOT A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT ON OUR TOYOTA WHICH STARTED TO LOSE ALOT OF OIL WE TOOK TO TOYOTA GREEN IN LEXINGTON KY THEY HAD ON THEIR REPORT WE DONE OVER 2196 MILES WHEN STARTED THE TEST. WHICH WAS COMPLETELY WRONG THEY SAID WE ONLY USED 1/2 QUART OF OIL SO IT WAS NOT LOSING ENOUGH OIL EMAILED TOYOTA CONSIDERS OIL CONSUMPTION EXCESSIVE WHEN IT EXCEEDS 1.1 QUART PER 600 MILES. MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN CHECKING SINCE TOOK WRITES DOWN MILEAGE WHEN HE CHECKS IT HAD LITTLE OVER 900 MILES ON IT AND WE HAD LOST ALMOST A QUART OF OIL IT LIKED 1/8 BEING A FULL COURT. OF COURSE THEY SAY IT SAYS IT IN THE BOOK WHAT THEY CAN USE. I HAVE HAD EXACTLY 4 TOYOTAS AND THEY HAVE NEVER DONE THIS. THEY TOLD US THAT WE CAN TAKE BACK IN 5000 MILES OR 6MO WHICH EVER COMES FIRST. THIS JUST DOES NOT SOUND RIGHT TO ME. MY HUSBAND WAS NOT BACK THERE WHEN THEY CHECKED EVERY THINK WHICH NEXT TIME HE WILL BE.THEIR EXACT WORDS THEY SAID WHEN CHECKED WHEN THEY FIRST CHECKED IT WAS SLIGHTLY LOW ADDED ONE QT OF OIL RECHECKED AND IT WAS LITTLE OVER. WHEN IT STATES IN THE BOOK ALSO NEVER TO PUT OVER THE AMOUNT OF OIL IN THE CAR. *TR

CAR DASHBOARD WHEN EXPOSED TO SUN , GETS STICKY AND GLOSSY. THE REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD CREATES HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITION. THE DASHBOARD MATERIAL APPEARS TO BE VINYL. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED, TOYOTA MOTOR CO. DID SEND A LETTER INFORMING THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS SITUATION, BUT HAS NO RESOLUTION OR TIME FRAME IN SOLVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS UNFAIR TO CONSUMERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND LOST POWER. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, FREQUENTLY MY 2007 CAMRY DASHBOARD DISPLAYS ERRONEOUS INFORMATION - TACH, SPEEDOMETER AND TEMPERATURE GAGE READ ZERO AND BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS GO ON. CLEARLY THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES. ALSO, THE AIR CONDITIONER GOES OFF AND THE AIR COMING OUT OF THE DUCTS GOES TO FULL HOT. DEALERSHIP INDICATES THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE AND THEREFORE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. I SEE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB AND NOTICED THAT THE CAMRY HYBRID HAS A RECALL FOR SOMETHING THAT LOOKS SIMILAR TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE CAR SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE NEEDLE WENT TO ZERO, THE TACHOMETER FLUCTUATES OUT OF CONTROL UP AND DOWN, THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON, THE LIGHTS THAT INDICATE WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN TURNED OFF, THE GAS GAUGE APPEARS TO STILL WORK OKAY, BUT THE MILEAGE STOPS CALCULATING ALTHOUGH THE DIGITAL DISPLAY IS STILL ON JUST NOT COUNTING MILEAGE. I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING OR IF MY CAR WILL EITHER NOT STOP DUE TO BRAKE LIGHTS BEING ON OR JUST CUT OFF SINCE THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. THE AIR CONDITIONING ALSO STOPPED WORKING. THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, THEN AS QUICKLY AS IT STOPPED, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. IT HAS NOW DONE THIS EACH DAY AT MULTIPLE TIMES DURING EACH TRIP FOR THE PAST 3 DAYS SINCE THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED. NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND SOUNDS LIKE THIS ISSUE HAS COME UP BEFORE WITH OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING AND CAME TO THE STOP MY SPEEDOMETER DROPPED DOWN TO ZERO, MY TACHOMETER KEEPS GOING UP AND DOWN, THE ABS AND BRAKE SIGNALS LIGHT UP, AND MY A/C SEEMS TO STOP WORKING. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND NOTICED THAT HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABS MODULATOR/SENSOR CORRODING. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN CLOVIS AND THEY SAID THEY HAD TO START WITH A BASIC DIAGNOSIS OF $129 AND THAT THIS WAS NOT A RECALL ISSUE. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A RECALL OF THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS!? I HAVE A TOMTOM THAT CAN KEEP TRACK OF MY SPEED SO I'LL JUST USE THIS UNTIL A RECALL IS MADE AND THIS ISSUE CAN BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

GOT AN OIL CHANGED AND ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER HEARD ENGINE MAKING A FUNNY KNOCKING AND TICKING SOUND. LOOKED UNDER HOOD TO CHECK FLUIDS AND THE OIL WAS COMPLETELY DRY! HAD TO FILL IT UP W QUARTS OF OIL, AND CONSTANTLY DUMP OIL INTO ENGINE BECAUSE IT WAS BURNING UP SO RAPIDLY EVERY 2/3 WEEKS, MATE NICE LIGHT WOULD COME ON INDICATING LOW OIL, RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA INDICATING THEY HAVE A PROBLEM W THE CAR CONSUMING ENGINE OIL TO RAPIDLY, CONFRONTED THE LOCAL DEALER SHIP OF MY ISSUE N THEY INSIST I MUST PAY OUT OF POCKET TO REPAIR ENGINE WHICH NOW IS KNOCKING VERY LOUDLY N HAS NO ACCELERATION AT 95.00 AN HR THEN THEY CAN PERFORM ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST TO DETERMINE IF THAT WAS THE REASON FOR MY FAILURE! WHICH I KNOW IS!!! I HAVE RESEARCHED IT AND FOUND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON TOYOTA DEALING W THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE! HOW DO I GET MY VEHICLE FIXED WITH OUT HAVING TO PAY FOR THEIR ENGINE FAILURE AND POOR MANUFACTURING? *TR

MELTING DASHBOARD CAUSING GLARES ON THE EYES AND THEREFORE DRIVING BECOMES DANGEROUS. THE DASHBOARD BECOMES STICKY EMITTING SOME FUMES THAT COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO ONES HEALTH IF INHALED FOR EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. SCARE TO RIVE MY NEW BORN BABY IN THE CAR FOR FEAR OF BAD FUMES OUT OF THE MELTING DASHBOARD. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT AROUND 45MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN. MY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT INDICATORS LIGHT UP. MY SPEEDOMETER DROPPED DOWN TO 0. MY GAUGES JUMPING AROUND. MY SPEED IN ACTUALITY DIDN'T GO DOWN TO 0. AND, MY CAR DIDN'T STALL OR CUT OFF. BUT, IF IT HAD. I COULD HAVE BEEN RAN OVER BY A SEMI TRUCK OR ANOTHER VEHICLE. PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING, MY TIRE SENSOR LIGHT WAS ON. I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID ONCE THE TIRE SENSOR WAS FIXED, THE OTHER WOULD GO AWAY. I HAD TIRE SENSOR FIXED. THE LIGHTS WENT OFF FOR A BRIEF PERIOD. BUT, BACK ON AGAIN AT INTERVAL TIMES. THE CAR ALSO SEEMS TO WANT TO CUT OFF WHEN IDLING AT RED LIGHTS. WHEN I GOOGLED THE PROBLEMS ONLINE. IT SEEM TOYOTA CARS OF ALL MAKES AND YEARS ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I AM TAKING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE HORN ALARM ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY AND STOPPED AFTER THE SAFETY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR, THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. THE LIGHTS WENT OUT SHORTLY AFTER, BUT THE ABS ENGAGED WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T, CAUSING MY STOPPING DISTANCE TO BE DRAMATICALLY INCREASED. I NEARLY CRASHED, AND WAS FORCED TO SWERVE TO AVOID THE CAR AHEAD. TOYOTA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM--IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED, TWO YEARS RUNNING, AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AS A CORRODED ABS SENSOR. TOYOTA REFUSE TO PAY FOR LABOR, OR CREATE A PART THAT IS BETTER SHIELDED. THIS IS DANGEROUS. WHO KNOWS WHEN IT WILL GO OUT AGAIN? I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *SMD THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE INCIDENT WAS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL DEFECT. *JB

THE ENGINE ON THIS CAR HAVE CONSUMPTION TWO QUARTS OIL EVERY TWO THOUSAND MILES. AND DON'T HAVE ANY LEAKS. *TR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND WHEN THE SUN HITS THE WINDSHIELD I CAN'T SEE THE ROAD DUE TO A GLARE. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE LOST CONTROL OF STEERING, BRAKES AND STABILITY CONTROL. THE CAR SURGED LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT THE WENT OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED BUT DID NOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY FUNCTION. MASSIVE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED TO THE BODY FROM HITTING 2 TREES. NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. *TR

THIS CAR HAS BURNED A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS. RECENTLY RECEIVED A TSB FROM TOYOTA ON THIS ISSUE AND AS INSTRUCTED, TOOK IT INTO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN FROM THEIR STAFF THAT TOYOTA WAS CONSIDERING REPLACING MY ENGINE IF IT DID INDEED BURN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. I MEAN COME ON---THE CAR HAS 180K MILES ON IT. NEVER THE LESS, I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE IDEA. THEY "SEALED" THE OIL CAP SO NO ONE COULD TAMPER WITH THE OIL LEVEL. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD TOPPED OFF THE OIL LEVEL. I PUT ANOTHER 1200 MILES ON IT AND RETURNED THE CAR AS INSTRUCTED, TO ALLOW THEM TO "PERFORM A DETAILED TEST TO DETERMINE IF THE ENGINE WAS CONSUMING A QUART EVERY 1000 MILES. I CHECKED THE OIL DIPSTICK THE MORNING I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO TOYOTA. IT WAS A FULL QUART LOW ON OIL. INTERESTING, BUT TOYOTA PERFORMED THEIR TEST AND ADVISED THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. DID NOT HAPPEN. A MONTH LATER I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THE CA HAD BURNED 7/8 OF A QUART AND AS IT WAS LESS THAN A QUART, I WAS BASICALLY SOL. ALL SAID AND DONE, I WAS NOT EXPECTING A NEW ENGINE. I WAS EXPECTING TO LEAVE FEELING I HAD BEEN TREATED FAIRLY AND PROFESSIONALLY. THE NET RESULT IS THAT I HAVE MADE TWO TOTALLY UNNECESSARY TRIPS TO THE DEALER JUST TO BE INFORMED TOYOTA DOES NOT AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING....BECAUSET THEIR TEST INDICATED THE CAR FAILED TO MEET THEIR CRITERIA BY 1/8 OF A QUART. GEE...IT WAS AQUART LOW WHEN I TOOK IT IN, BUT WAIT...(I MUST BE AN IDIOT

PISTONS HOLDING UP HOOD FAILED. *TR

I AM ONE OF MANY COMPLAINANTS THAT HAVE EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION WITH THIS CAR. I AM USING AT LEAST 1 QUART EVERY 1,000 MILES. *TR

MY 2007 CAMRY IS CONSUMING AROUND 3 QUARTS BETWEEN 3000MILES OIL CHANGE INTERVALS. THIS CONSUMPTION IS QUITE HIGH BY ANY STANDARD. MY CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED IN A TIMELY MANNER. IF WE CHANGED THE OIL EVERY 5000 LIKE THE MANUAL SAID I WOULD HAVE A CAR RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE CEASED UP THE ENGINE. THIS MAKES ME VERY UNHAPPY AND NOT VERY SAFE FOR ME OR MY FAMILY. AT THIS TIME WE ARE NOT ABLE TO GET A NEWER/DIFFERENT CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE AIR SYSTEM FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED OF A MANUFACTURER SERVICE BULLETIN THAT MIGHT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DASHBOARD PEELING AND STICKING...AIRBAGS ON PASSENGER SIDE. *JS

I AM GOING THROUGH MY SECOND SET OF STRUTS IN 4000 MILES. CONTACTED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THAT THE OIL FROM STRUTS SOMETIMES LEAKS. TO MY SURPRISE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO DEALS WITH STRUT PROBLEM ON 2007 CAMRYS. MANY PEOPLE IN BLOGS REPORT THAT THE STRUTS JUST GIVE UP AT 10000 MILES, 20000 MILES. MINE GAVE UP AT 4000, I JUST CHANGED THE WHOLE FRONT SET A WEEK AGO AND IT MAKES NOISE AGAIN!!! I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SUCH POOR QUALITY PARTS ARE ALLOWED TO BE INSTALLED ON VEHICLES SOLD ON US MARKET. *JS

STARTED CAR AND THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS STAYED ON AND DID NOT GO OFF. THEN WHILE DRIVING TO MY DAUGHTERS SCHOOL, AND THE SHOP I WAS GOING TO TAKE THE CAR TO, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PICKED UP MY DAUGHTER THEN WENT TO THE SHOP AND HAD VEHICLE CHECKED. THERE WERE HAD 5 CODES THAT COME UP. THEN WENT OUT WITH THE MECHANIC TO SEE IF THE SPEEDOMETER WAS WORKING AS HE ASKED IF I NOTICED IF IT WAS OR WAS NOT WORKING. WE TOOK CAR FOR A QUICK DRIVE TO SEE HOW CAR WAS DRIVING. THE FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT MOVING FROM ZERO. THE LIGHTS ALL STAYED ON AND THE BRAKES WERE WORKING. THE RPM GAUGE WAS STILL GOING UP AND DOWN. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO DO ANY FIXING AS OF YET SO I DECIDED TO BRING THE CAR HOME AND PARK IT UNTIL I CAN GET IT FIXED AS MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER THIS I DID SOME RESEARCH ON LINE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND THAT THE HYBRID MODEL HAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT AS OF YET THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THE 4 CYL OR THE 6 CYL WHICH IS NOT RIGHT AS THE CODES ARE THE SAME AND THE ISSUES ARE THE SAME. THE RIGHT THING TO DO WOULD BE TO RECALL ALL 2007 MODELS BEFORE THIS ISSUE CAUSES A FATAL CAR ACCIDENT. *TR

CURRENTLY I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON AND MY MODULE NOT READING MY SPEED, TEMPERATURE, OR RPMS CORRECTLY OR AT ALL SOME TIMES. I SPOKE WITH A TECHNICIAN THAT I HAVE GOTTEN WORK DONE WITH BEFORE AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD ANOTHER CUSTOMER WITH THE SAME YEAR SAME MODEL CALL IN AND THEIR CAR WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHILE THE PEOPLE AT MY INSURANCE COMPANY TOLD ME THAT IT MAY HAVE TO DO WITH THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE AND DISMISSED MY CLAIM. HE TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY WAY THEY WOULD KNOW IS IF THEY COULD DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE AGAIN. BUT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE EXPENSIVE AND I'M STARTING TO THINK IT MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED WHEN I GET TO A CERTAIN SPEED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT START TO FLASH UNTIL I SLOW DOWN OR THE VEHICLE WON'T MOVE UNTIL I PARK IT TURN IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED A NEW ENGINE. *TR

NO OIL ON DIPSTICK, ENGINE OIL LIGHT CAME ON WHENEVER VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. TOOK MORE THAN TWO QUARTS OF OIL TO BRING IT TO CORRECT LEVEL. *TR

A "STICKY" AND CRACKING DASHBOARD FROM FLORIDA HEAT CAUSES A HUGE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. THIS MAKES VISIBILITY EXTREMELY LIMITED WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE NOT USED ANY CLEANING OR POLISHING PRODUCTS ON THE DASHBOARD. I AM CONVINCED IT IS JUST FROM HIGH TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY OVER TIME. AFTER NOTICING THE PROBLEM I TRIED TO REDUCE DIRECT SUNLIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD BY USING WINDSHIELD COVERS; HOWEVER, THE DASH STILL REMAINED "STICKY" AND THE COVERS JUST SIMPLY STUCK TO THE DASH. THE ISSUE USED TO ONLY OCCUR WHEN IT WAS HOT OUTSIDE, BUT NOW THE DASH HAS BEEN "MELTED" SO MUCH SO THAT IT HAS BECOME GLOSSY. WHICH MEANS EVEN IN COOLER TEMPERATURES THE DASH REFLECTS ANY SUNLIGHT AND CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. AGAIN, THIS ISSUE HIGHLY DECREASES VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. IT IS OFTEN DIFFICULT TO PERFORM THE EASIEST MANEUVERS SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE. I HAVE EVEN BOUGHT EXPENSIVE POLAROID SUNGLASSES TO SOMEWHAT REDUCE THE GLARE, BUT VISIBILITY IS STILL DIFFICULT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE IT CAN EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE THE SITUATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

AFTER OWNING MY 2007 CAMRY FOR OVER 3 YEARS THE DASHBOARD BEGUN TO MELT. WHEN TOUCHING THE DASHBOARD YOU CAN IMMEDIATELY FEEL THE STICKINESS AND IMPRINTS ARE LEFT AFTER A SIMPLE TOUCH. *TR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING SIGNIFICANT GLARE AND STICKY RESIDUE. *TR

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS NOTICED IN THIS VEHICLE AROUND DECEMBER 2014. THE DEALER REFUSES TO DEAL WITH IT CONSIDERING 1 QUART FOR EVERY 1,000 MILES IS NORMAL. *TR

WE BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW 2007 CAMRY FROM DEALER BACK IN 2006. IT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED THROUGH TOYOTA DEALERS (LONGO TOYOTA MOST OF TIME) SINCE THEN. IN JAN 2012, THE ENGINE SOUNDED ABNORMAL. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS OIL "LEAKING" AND THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. WE PAID OUT OF OWN POCKET TO FIX THE "OIL LEAKING" AS SUGGESTED BY THE DEALER, BUT THE OIL STILL KEEPS DISAPPEARING AFTER AROUND 2000 MILES' DRIVING. NOW IT IS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE, I HAVE TO CHECK OIL LEVEL AND ADD 1 QUART EVERY 500 MILES! *TR

UPON ENTERING MY VEHICLE I FOUND THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WAS LOCKED AND UNABLE TO RETRACT OR BE PULLED FORWARD. I CONTACTED A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, CHICAGO NORTHSIDE TOYOTA, AND MADE A SERVICE APPT FOR THAT AFTERNOON. SHORTLY BEFORE ARRIVING AT THE DEALERSHIP THE SEAT BELT SUDDENLY UNLOCKED AND WAS MOVABLE AGAIN. UPON INSPECTION, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS FRAYING ON THE SEAT BELT, AND THAT WAS THE CAUSE FOR THE INABILITY FOR THE SEATBELT TO RETRACT OR MOVE. NONE OF THIS FRAYING HE REFERRED TO IS VISIBLE TO ME, SO I PRESUME IT IS HIDDEN INSIDE THE PANEL WHICH COVERS THE SEAT BELT MECHANISM. I PRESUME THIS WAS CAUSED BY AN INTERNAL MECHANISM AND I SUSPECT IS A DESIGN DEFECT. TOYOTA WILL NOT HONOR ANY WARRANTY FOR SEAT BELT REPLACEMENT AFTER 5 YRS OR 50,000 MILES, WHICH NO LONGER APPLIES TO MY VEHICLE, AND IS CHARGING ME $453 TO REPLACE THE SEAT BELT AS A RESULT OF WHAT I BELIEVE IS A DEFECT FOR AN ESSENTIAL SAFETY RESTRAINT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE RPM, THE ODOMETER AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGES DECREASED AS THE PARKING BRAKE AND THE ABS WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 143,000.

ABS LIGHT CAME ON, SPEEDOMETER. ODOMETER, AND A/C STOPPED WORKING. PROBLEM CONTINUES INTERMITTENTLY. INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MODEL AND REPAIRS ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. SEEKING REPAIR THROUGH RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE ADVISE IF RECALL HAS BEEN OR WILL BE INITIATED. THANK YOU. *TR

2007 CAMRY XLE. THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND APPEARS TO BE MELTING. SMALL PIECES OF THE DASH HAVE COME OFF AND THERE IS GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE DASH ON A BRIGHT SUNNY DAY. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS NEW. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND AT WORK I ALWAYS USED A FULL WINDSHIELD SUN VISOR. *TR

MY DASHBOARD STARTED MELTING LEAVES A RESIDUE ANYTIME I TRY TO CLEAN IT. THIS CREATES A GLARE WHEN I DRIVE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR AND APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND SUDDENLY, ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON, THE BRAKES STOPPED FUNCTIONING. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR BRIEFLY BUT WAS ABLE TO REGAIN IT AND WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO BRING IT TO A STOP. *TR

MELTING DASHBOARD. *TR

DASHBOARD IS DETERIORATING. IT IS EXTREMELY STICKY AND IS ALSO EASILY SCRATCHES. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE WE DRIVE IT ONLY WHEN ABSOLUTELY NEEDED. FLORIDA HEAT DURING SUMMER MONTHS MAKES THE SITUATION WORSE, DASHBOARD BECOMES STICKY AND GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD REFLECTING SUN LIGHTS MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

DASHBOARD MELTING AND PITTING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE CAMRY WHEN I REACHED A COMPLETE STOP MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, DIDN'T REALLY NOTICE ANY CHANGE, TWO DAYS LATER I NOTICE GAS CONSUMPTION HAS INCREASED. I TOOK THE CAMRY INTO DEALER, DEALER DIAGNOSED THE CHECK ENGINE TO BE A FAULTY O2 SENSOR. REPLACED O2 SENSOR AND DROVE OFF TO PICK UP MY KIDS FROM SCHOOL, AS WE ARE DRIVING HOME, I CAME TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I STOPPED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON IDLE WAS DISRUPTED BRIEFLY. I PROCEEDED AND WHEN TRYING TO STOP CAR THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD BECOME VERY TIGHT TO WERE I HAD TO STOMP ON BRAKES WITH ALL MY MIGHT TO GET CAR TO STOP. DROP KIDS OFF AT HOME WAITED 15 MINUTES AND STARTED VEHICLE, ABS LIGHT WAS OFF BUT CHECK ENGINE REMAINED ON, BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALMOST BACK TO NORMAL. I DROVE CAR TO DEALER AGAIN, THE DEALER SAID IT IS A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH IS ALLOWING TOO MUCH AIR INTO SYSTEM WHICH IN RETURN SIGNALS FOR MORE FUEL TO BE PUMPED TO COMPENSATE VACUUM LEAK. BRAKE BOOSTER NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND VERY COSTLY 1,363.16 PARTS, LABOR AND TAXES, NOT COUNTING THE 4 DAY RENTAL. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, IF IT WERE MY WIFE DRIVING THE CAMRY WITH MY KIDS SHE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY WARNING. TOYOTA NEEDS TO MAKE THIS A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS. I LOOKED AT TOYOTA FORUMS AND IT SEEMS I'M NOT ALONE, BRAKE BOOSTER FOR SEVERAL OTHER TOYOTA MODELS HAVE GONE BAD, AFTER 100,000 MILES SOME AT 70,000. 2007 TOYOTA C

SUN VISOR ON DRIVERS SIDE DETACHED WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. ALMOST CAUSING A ACCIDENT. SUN VISOR ON PASSENGER SIDE IS ROTATED DOWNWARD BLOCKING FIELD OF VISION. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS LITERALLY MELTING AWAY.THERE IS A HORRIBLE STICKY, GOOEY SUBSTANCE THAT IS OOZING OUT OF THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD.YOU CANNOT TOUCH OR CLEAN IT, AND WHEN DRIVING IN THE DIRECT SUN, IT CREATES SUCH A REFLECTION ON THE WINDOW THAT YOU CAN HARDLY SEE. I HAVE APPROACHED TOYOTA ON THIS ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND THAT THE REASON THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING IS BECAUSE I LIVE IN TEXAS AUSTIN. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND ON A SUNNY DAY IS HARD TO SEE. *TR
