2007 Toyota Camry complaints

DRIVER WAS PASSING ANOTHER CAR AT ~65MPH AND WHEN THE DRIVER TOOK HIS FOOT OFF THE GAS THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES, WHICH SLOWED THE CAR SOME, BUT NOT SUFFICIENTLY AGAINST THE ENGINE (NOW CLOSE TO FULL THROTTLE). DRIVER THEN IMMEDIATELY PUT THE ENGINE INTO NEUTRAL, HOWEVER THIS DID NOT DISENGAGE THE ENGINE. DRIVER WAS THEN FORCED TO USE THE IGNITION TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND FINALLY IT STARTED COSTING TO A STOP WHILE IN NEUTRAL. ASSUMING IT WAS SOME TRANSIENT FAULT, THE DRIVER THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE WHILE COASTING IN NEUTRAL AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN ACCELERATING AGAIN, DRIVER THEN AGAIN IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE IGNITION TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THERE WAS A DELAYED RESPONSE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED WITH FORCE. IN ADDITION, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS SWITCH WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL ABOUT 5MPH BECAUSE IT WAS SNOWING AND THERE WERE CARS INFRONT OF ME. I WAS SLOWLY PRESSING THE BRAKE AND THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT STUCK AND I COULDN'T CONTROL THE BRAKE, THE WHEELS HAD LOCKED TO AND I KEPT ON SLIDING AND I WENT HEAD ON IN AN SUV. CAR IS TOTALED AND I SUSTAINED NECK, BACK, KNEE, AND SHOULDER INJURIES. AND ALSO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS A FIRE BUT AFTER THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED THERE WAS A LOT OF SMOKE COMING FROM EVERYWHERE. *TR

THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT WORK EVEN WITH ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE IS ON BUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD NOT WORK. *TR

STARTED THE CAR AND NOTICED THE ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHT WERE ON. TACHOMETER WAS JUMPING BETWEEN 0 AND 1000RPM. AIR CONDITIONER WASN'T WORKING. DROVE THE CAR A BIT WITH NO CHANGE EXCEPT THE TACHOMETER JUMPING A BIT HIGHER THAN 1 AND DROPPING BACK TO 0. SPEEDOMETER WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. AFTER A BIT MORE DRIVING, THE ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND THE GAUGES RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. AIR CONDITIONER ALSO STARTED WORKING. SINCE THIS INITIAL PROBLEM, THE GAUGES AND LIGHTS HAVE BEEN OPERATING WITH THE SAME INCONSISTENCY (JUMPING TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER SITTING AT 0, ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS ON).

THE DASHBOARD OF OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS MELTING. THERE HAVE BEEN NO CHEMICALS USED ON THE DASHBOARD WHAT SO EVER. IT HAS ALWAYS ONLY BEEN CLEANED WITH WATER. THE MELTING IS PRONOUNCED MORE AS THE DASHBOARD NEARS THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS NOW VERY STICKY AND IS COMPLETELY RUINED. MOST IMPORTANTLY, SINCE MELTING, IT HAS BECOME VERY SHINY. IT CREATES A HORRIBLE GLARE OF BRIGHT SUNLIGHT DIRECTLY INTO YOUR EYES AS YOU DRIVE. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. IT IS ALMOST LIKE A MIRROR DIRECTLY ON TOP OF YOUR DASH. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. THEY STATE THE DASH WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS FROM OTHER CAMRY OWNER'S WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. PLEASE HELP. *JS

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR UNEXPECTEDLY FALLS AND OBSCURES LINE OF SIGHT. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. DURING AN INTERNET SEARCH REGARDING THIS ISSUE, IT CAME TO LIGHT THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE AS MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT. INSTEAD OF A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS, TOYOTA DECIDED TO EXTEND A WARRANTY TO 7 YEARS ON THIS ISSUE BUT DID NOT INFORM IT'S CUSTOMER BASE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, I DID NOT DISCOVER THIS WARRANTY EXTENSION UNTIL 3 MONTHS AFTER THEIR WARRANTY EXTENSION EXPIRED. TOYOTA IS NOT WILLING TO EXTEND THE COVERAGE AND FEELS THAT THEY HAVE FOLLOWED PROPER PROCEDURES. I COULD NOT DISAGREE MORE. I WAS USING MY WIFE'S CAR THIS WEEKEND, DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, MAKING A LANE CHANGE AT 65 MPH, WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE VISOR FLIPPED DOWN. MY IMMEDIATE REACTION WAS BRAKES... AND THANKFULLY ALL WAS OKAY. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE HANDLED AS A RECALL, NOT AS A CUSTOMER WARRANTY EXTENSION. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE REAR WHEEL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE THEN MADE IMPACT WITH AN IRON FENCE HEAD ON BUT THE FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS MELTED AND IS VERY STICKY. IT IS EASILY DAMAGED JUST BY LIGHTLY BUMPING IT. ALSO, THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SINCE I DRIVE TO WORK FACING THE SUN AND DRIVE HOME FACING THE SUN, THE COMMUTE IS VERY DIFFICULT, TIRESOME, AND DANGEROUS. PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. SUN VISOR WAS NOT TIGHT AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT STAY IN PLACE, AND EVENTUALLY IT DROPPED DOWN IN THE CONSUMERS VIEW. *TA

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY CAUGHT FIRE SPONTANEOUSLY. *MW THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *JB

THE FOLLOWING TAKES PLACE INTERMITTENTLY AT TIMES: SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER FALL TO ZERO WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEED, ENGINE VIBRATES WHEN SITTING AT IDLE, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS UP WITH MULTIPLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS/ABS LIGHTS, ETC., A/C CUTS OUT (DOESN'T PRODUCE COLD AIR) AND BRAKES FEEL COMPROMISED. TOYOTA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT MY ISSUE AND OTHERS, BUT STANDS BY NOT ADDRESSING THIS EPIDEMIC, THE WEB IS PLAGUED WITH THIS VEHICLE TYPE AND THEIR OWNERS DESCRIBING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS (+ COUNTLESS OTHERS WHO DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES, TIME OR INSIGHT TO COMPLAIN), ONLY TO LEARN THEY WILL HAVE TO COUGH UP $2200 - $3400 (PARTS/LABOR) TO REPLACE A FAULTY ABS MODULE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, NOT HAVING A MEASURE OF SPEED WHILE YOU'RE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD, BRAKES FEELING UNEASY - NOT TO MENTION THE POSSIBILITY OF INCURRING TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS. THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE FLOATING AROUND THE WEB WITH AS LITTLE AS 53K MILES ON IT. IT IS VERY SELFISH AND IRRESPONSIBLE FOR TOYOTA TO TURN THEIR HEAD FROM THIS ISSUE...PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE ON STEROIDS...ANYTHING FOR A BUCK UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT, OR EVEN WORSE... *TR

I STARTING NOTICING THAT MY DASHBOARD WAS GETTING STICKY THE BEGINNING OF 2014, IT STARTING GETTING WORSE OVER E FOLLOWING MONTHS, I WENT ONLINE AND NOTICED THAT OTHER PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE MELTING DASHBOARDS ON THE CAMRY SO I WROTE TO THE COMPANY NUMEROUS TIMES, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT T WAS PAST THE WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT, AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. I SEE IS AS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT BUT WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, I REFUSE TO PAY THE RIDICULOUS AMOUNT THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE FIXED. THE SURFACE IS VERY SHINY AND THERE IS A BAD REFLECTION WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO SEE, I HAD A GPS HOLDER ON THE DASH AND IT FELL OFF AND PULLED OFF SOME OF THE DASH WITH IT. I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS AND FEEL THAT TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THIS. *TR

WHEN SUN COMES OUT THE DASH BOARD GETS SHINY AND AND OILY. THE REFLECTION OF THE SUN'S RAYS FROM THE OILY SURFACE OF THE DASH BOARD MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD. THE VISIBILITY IS QUITE REDUCED AND IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH SUCH POOR VIEW OF THE ROAD IN FRONT. WHEN TAKEN TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN BRADENTON, FL. HE SAYS HE HAS NOT SEEN ANY DASH BOARD LIKE THAT.

FIRST EXPERIENCED PULSING BRAKES WHEN SLOWING ON HIGHWAY. AT APPROX. 12,000 MILES RETURNED TO DEALER HAD ROTORS RESURFACED. SAME THING HAPPENED AT 25,000 MILES AND JUST ABOUT EVERY 15,000 MILES. HAD ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED AT APPROX. 36,000 MILES, AND RESURFACED AGAIN AT APPROX. 60,000. NOW HAVE 78, 000 MILES AND HAVE TO HAVE THIRD SET OF ROTORS. THIS WILL BE THE FIFTH BRAKE REPAIR IN 78,000 MILES, EITHER PADS, RESURFACING, OR ROTORS. YES, TOYOTA HAS A CAMRY BRAKE PROBLEM.

DASHBOARD OF THIS CAR HAS BEEN MELTED, WHICH ALSO GIVES TROUBLE IN VISIBILTY. AND I BELIEVE POOR VISIBILITY WAS THE REASON BEHIND A CRASH AT 2 WAY STOP SIGN. AND IT MAY CAUSE PROBLEM IN FUTURE AS WELL. IT REALLY NEED A RECALL. OR REPLACEMENT WITH REASONABLE COST.

DROPPING MY KID OFF AT SCHOOL ONE MORNING AND IT WAS VERY SUNNY. WE WERE LATE THAT MORNING SO A SCHOOL ATTENDANT CLOSED ONE SIDE OF THE GATE. THE SUN WAS VERY BRIGHT AND BECAUSE MY DASH IS MELTING, THE SUN BUT A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE GATE WAS OPEN BUT I WASN'T ABLE TO SEE THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE GATE WAS CLOSED (LARGE GLARE ON WINDSHIELD). I WAS ABLE TO MAKE OUT THAT THERE WERE NO CHILDREN AROUND TO PROCESS TO GO THROUGH THE GATE BUT COULDN'T CONFIRM THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF GATE WAS CLOSED. DRIVER SIDE OF GATE WAS OPEN SO I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE OTHER SIDE WOULD BE CLOSED. PUT A BIG DINT IN MY CAR BY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDOW. I EVEN HAD SUNSHADES ON. TOOK ALL PERCUSSIONS OTHER THAN GETTING OUT OF CAR TO LOOK. DIDN'T THINK IT WAS SOMETHING MANDATORY FOR ME TO DO. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THE MELTING DASHBOARD EVEN BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. *TR

VEHICLE LEAKS OR BURNS OIL IN EXCESS FROM UNKNOWN LOCATION OR UNDISCLOSED LOCATION BY MANUFACTURER. NO OIL VISIBLE ON GROUND UNDERNEATH CAR . ENGINE WAS NOT GETTING ADEQUATE LUBRICATION DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND THUS CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE. VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE ON FREEWAY AND HAD TO BE PULLED OVER PUTTING VEHICLE OWNER AT RISK AND OTHER DRIVERS ON ROAD IN DANGER. THE ENGINE IS NOW DAMAGED AND IS UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED DESPITE PROPER MAINTENANCE AND RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGES AS PER DEALERSHIP AND OWNERS MANUAL. THE ENGINE NOW HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS LEAKAGE HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OVER HUNDREDS OF UNSATISFIED CUSTOMERS AND HAS PURPOSELY BEEN DISREGARDED BY MANUFACTURER DESPITE THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS RECEIVED AND MADE BY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY OWNERS. MANY OF WHICH SUFFERED LIKE THIS OWNER AND HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEW ENGINE DESPITE THIS BEING A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN NEGLECTED. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND MY DASHBOARD IS ALL STICKY AND SHINY...TRIED TO GO TO THE DEALER...AND DEALER CLAIMED IT'S NOT A RECALL...ALL THE DUST, DIRT AND DEBRIS FROM THE OUTSIDE HAS STUCK (HARBORED) RIGHT ONTO MY STICKY DASHBOARD, I HAVE TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO CLEAN IT BUT ALL ELEMENTS GETS STUCK ONTO DASHBOARD....WITH ALL THIS BEING SAID, I BELIEVE THIS HAS CAUSED SOME BREATHING ISSUES FOR ME WHEN I DRIVE. (I HAVE SEVERE ALLERGIES)...SO YES IN THIS CASE, IT CERTAINLY WARRANTS A HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERN. I WOULD LIKE TO ESCALATE THIS ISSUE. THANKS, *TR

I REPORTED THE STICKY DASH PROBLEM TO DEALERSHIP AT ABOUT 60,000 MILES IN 09 ALONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL MATERIAL FALLING APART. THIS PROBLEM HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE MY DASH IS CREATING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR ORIGINAL OWNERS AS THIS CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD. FULL RECALL SHOULD BE MANDATORY . BUT IF OWNER HAS TO PAY IT SHOULD BE VERY LITTLE . MAYBE LIKE 500 INSTEAD OF THE 1800$ QUOTE I GOT FROM THE DEALERSHIP . I'VE OWNED OTHER CARS IN FLORIDA AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM . I'M KINDA DISAPPOINTED THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THIS WILL AFFECT MY BUYING DECISION IN THE FUTURE UNLESS THEY FIX IT SINCE THIS WILL AFFECT MY TRADE IN VALUE. *TR

WHEN TOGGLED, PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW OPENS WITH A BANG. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THE WINDOW IS RAISED OR LOWERED SUBSEQUENTLY, THIS NOISE WILL NOT REOCCUR AGAIN UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 24 HOURS LATER. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS THE DASHBOARD ALL MELTED. THIS CAUSES A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF GLARE WHILE DRIVING DURING THE DAY AND YOU CANT SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I'VE LOOKED OVER THE INTERNET ASWELL AS TALKED WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE CAMRY MODELS. LOOKS LIKE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT WANT TO REPLACE. EVERY YEAR I CONTACT THEM AND ITS THE SAME ANSWER THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP !!! *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY'S DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IT'S LIKE SOMEONE HAS POURED HONEY OR SYRUP ALL OVER IT. I FIRST NOTICED IT THIS SUMMER AND IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAN IT WITH WINDEX AND A PAPER TOWEL OR A DRY CLOTH. IT NOW HAS PAPER TOWEL PIECES STUCK ALL OVER IT AND THE DUST IS PERMANENTLY ON THE DASH BECAUSE IT WON'T WIPE OFF. THERE IS ALSO A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND A HORRIBLE SUBSTANCE ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT CANNOT BE WIPED OFF NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU CLEAN IT, IT JUST SMEARS. THIS CAUSES DIFFICULTIES DRIVING AT NIGHT. GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT CHEMICALS ARE BEING RELEASED INSIDE THE VEHICLE THAT WE ARE ALL INHALING! I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO ROUND ROCK TOYOTA IN ROUND ROCK, TX AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME HOW AWFUL IT WAS BUT THEY COULDN'T/WOULDN'T HELP ME UNLESS I WANTED TO PURCHASE A NEW DASH BOARD FOR MY CAR. FROM MY READING ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND TOYOTA IS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO MAKE AMENDS FOR THE DEFECTIVE MATERIALS THEY HAVE USED IN THESE VEHICLES. I CANNOT SELL MY CAR LIKE THIS AND I'M SURE IT WILL EFFECT THE VALUE OF MY CAR SHOULD I EVER TRY TO REPLACE IT. *TR

I CAN NOT STOP THE CAR ON RED LIGHT OR ANY STOP SIGN, THERE IS A ABS SIGN, THEY SUPPOSE TO FIX IT LAST MONTHS, I WENT TO THE DEALER THEN THEY REPLACE SOME THING. I AM WORRY. *TR

WHEEL RIMS HAVE A HABIT OF COMING OFF. I HAVE REMOVED MY RIMS OUT OF CONCERN THEY WILL FLY OFF AND HIT SOMEONE ELSE. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED MANY OTHER 2007 STYLE CAMRYS DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT RIMS ALSO. *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IT'S BECOME EXTREMELY STICKY AND SHINY. I DO NOT USE ANY CHEMICALS OR OTHER PRODUCTS ON THE DASHBOARD .THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH SO MANY CUSTOMERS REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM AND YET TOYOTA DOES NOT RECALL. THE PLASTIC IS FAILING. IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT'S SO TERRIBLY SHINY. *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IT'S BECOME EXTREMELY STICKY AND SHINY. EVEN WHEN I TRY TO WASH IT, IT CONTINUES TO SECRETE A SLIMY STICKY FILM. THE PLASTIC IS FAILING. TOYOTA WANTS OVER 2000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE IT. IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT'S SO TERRIBLY SHINY. I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2007. *TR

THIS ENGINE HAS HIGH ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAKS, NO BLUE SMOKE INDICATION, AND OIL LAMP KEEPS GOING OF ON STOPS AND ACCELERATION. WHEN THAT HAPPENS IS BECAUSE THE ENGINE OIL IS LOW, EVEN AFTER REGULAR OIL CHANGES AT MILEAGE AND DATED RECOMMENDATIONS TOYOTA DO HAVE A HISTORY OF THIS IN LATE 90' WITH V6 MODELS DUE TO OIL SLUGGISH AND APPEARS IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS IS ALSO SAFETY CONCERN CAUSE THE VEHICLE MIGHT CEASED DURING OPERATION AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ON OUR NATIONAL HIGHWAYS. ALSO IT IS BELIEVE THAT THIS IS MANUFACTURER DEFECT ISSUE AND TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECTIFY. *TR

THE DASHBOARD MATERIAL HAS BEEN MELTED AND IS NOW EXTREMELY SHINY AND STICKY. IT CAUSES THE SUNLIGHT TO REFLECT BACK ONTO THE WINDSHIELD WHICH MAKES VISIBILITY DEGRADED. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. *TR

I JUST GOT MY 2007 CAMRY HYBRID BACK AFTER THE "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THIS PAST WEEK. I CALLED MY TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT WHILE I HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION DONE AS WELL AS ANOTHER RECALL DEALING WITH, I BELIEVE, WAS A BRAKE RESERVOIR ISSUE. EARLIER IN THE WEEK I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE TO ASK THEM ABOUT THIS WARNING I GOT AND THEY ASKED ABOUT THE NUMEROUS WARNING LIGHTS THAT CAME ON WHEN THIS HAPPENED ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. AND RECOMMENDED I GET IT CHECKED OUT. I LEFT THE VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY AND LATER IN THE DAY THEY CAME BACK AND TOLD ME THE ITEMS WERE DONE, WHAT THE EXCEPTION OF THE VSC SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT. THEY SAID THAT MY ACTUATOR WAS FAULTY. THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT IT AND WERE AWAITING A CALL BACK FROM THEM. THEY CALLED ME LATER IN THE DAY AND SAID THAT TOYOTA WAS WILLING TO DO THE REPAIR, FREE OF CHARGE, AS A "ONE TIME ONLY" DEAL. I NEVER MADE A BIG DEAL OUT OF THIS SITUATION, NEVER COMPLAINING. IRONICALLY, A WARNING LIGHT DEALING WITH MY TIRE PRESSURE THAT HAS NEVER CAME OFF IS GONE AS WELL AS THOSE OTHER LIGHTS INCLUDING THE (!), ABS, THE "SKIDDING CAR", ETC. AMONG OTHERS ALSO, MY CAMRY HAS OVER 233,000 MILES, NO WHERE NEAR A WARRANTY TYPE REPAIR! THIS MUST BE A PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA IS DEALING WITH, BUT ARE KEEPING IT ON THE "DOWN LOW" TO AVOID A RECALL AND ANOTHER PUBLIC EMBARRASSMENT. I AM ALSO FORWARDING THIS TO THE NTSB AND OUT LOCAL TV STATION. I AM SURE THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND HOP

I HAD A ONE CAR ACCIDENT & THE AIR BAGS ON THE SIDE OF THE DRIVERS DOOR INJURED BOTH OF MY LEGS. MY LEFT LEG HAD THE INSIDE CUT TO THE BONE & SKIN RIPPED OFF, COULD NOT WALK FOR 8 WEEKS, HAD PLASTIC SURGERY. LARGE INDENTED SCAR NOW WITH SWELLING OF LEG, OTHERWISE LEG WORKS FINE. MY RIGHT LEG HAS A LARGE HEMATOMA WITH SWELLING, NO BROKEN SKIN. THE PARAMEDICS FELT IT WAS THE AIR BAGS THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM.. CAR WAS TOTALED, MAKE IS 2007 CAMRY, COMPUTER WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PUT IN MAKE OF CAR.

THE DASH MELTED, IS STICKY AND IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN. THE GLARE OFF THE DASH IS AWFUL NOW. ALSO THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR HANGS DOWN NOW. THE ARM SEEMS TO HAVE BROKEN AND THE VISOR WON'T STAY UP TO THE CEILING. *TR
