2007 Toyota Camry complaints

I BEGAN NOTICING THAT THE DASHBOARD OF MY CAMRY WAS BECOMING SHINY/WET LOOKING APPROX A YEAR AGO. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AND NOW IT IS SO BAD THAT THERE IS A GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD DURING DAYLIGHT DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE STAYS IN AN ENCLOSED GARAGE AND NO HARSH/CAUSTIC CLEANING AGENTS HAVE EVER BEEN APPLIED TO THE DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD IS SOFT AND STICKY. IT IS LITERALLY MELTING! ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A FOUL ODOR AS A RESULT OF THE MELTING DASHBOARD. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING. I HAVE TAKEN METICULOUS CARE OF THIS CAR, USED SUN SHADE & GARAGED FOR THE FIRST 4 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS GETTING VERY SOFT AND WHEN SOMETHING TOUCHES IT, IT GOUGES OUT PIECES OF IT. IT LOOKS HORRIBLE IN MY $30,000 CAR !!!! *TR

OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST YEAR, THE DASHBOARD OF MY CAMRY HAS DEVOLVED INTO A STICKY, SHINY MESS. THE SURFACE OF MOST OF THE DASHBOARD HAS A GLUEY TEXTURE, WITH THE PARTS NEAREST THE WINDSHIELD HAVING COMPLETELY LIQUEFIED. THE STICKY AREAS ARE VERY SHINY, CAUSING GLARE THAT COVERS MUCH OF THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING TOWARDS THE SUN OR UNDER STREETLIGHTS. THIS GLARE IS VERY DISTRACTING AND SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES VISIBILITY. *TR

THE CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AND THERE IS ALOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND OCCASIONALLY THE WHEEL WILL JERK SLIGHTLY. THERE IS A POPPING/ KNOCKING IN THE WHEELS AND STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET AN ALIGNMENT TWICE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NOT THE ALIGNMENT. PUT NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS ON THE FRONT. DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE, RAN A VIN NUMBER CHECK AND MY CAR DID NOT SHOW UP WITH HAVING A RECALL. CALLED TOYOTA AND ASKED ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE STEERING. TOYOTA STATED THAT BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT SHOW UP AS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD HELP ME WITH. ALSO SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OR COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION. I REALLY THINK THAT IF THERE WAS A HISTORY OF RECALLS FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL THAT TOYOTA SHOULD STILL CHECK THIS OUT FOR FREE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. JUST BECAUSE THE VIN NUMBER IS NOT SHOWING UP AS BEING RECALLED DOESN'T MEAN THAT THIS CAN NOT HAPPEN. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR 2 WEEKS AND HAVE NOT BEEN HAPPY WITH THE WAY IT DRIVES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING AND CAUSED A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,500.

HI, I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA. ON SEPTEMBER 23RD, 2014 MY "OIL PRESSURE LIGHT "CAME ON, AND THEN AGAIN ON 09-26-14. I ALWAYS REGULARLY SERVICED MY CAR AT THE TOYOTA DEALER. AT FIRST I SAID "OK IT'S TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE", BUT THE MILES THAT I USED SO FAR IT WAS NOT READY TO BE SCHEDULED FOR AN OIL CHANGE YET. I IMMEDIATELY KNEW THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND LEARNED THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE A COUPLE OF THOUSANDS TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR; ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS NOT MY FAULT. IS TOYOTA PLANNING ON PAYING FOR THIS DEFECT FOR THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE HAS A MELTED DASHBOARD THAT SEVERELY DIMINISHES VISIBILITY WHEN THE SUN IS OUT. A REFLECTION FROM THE DASHBOARD IS DISPLAYED ON THE WINDSHIELD AND IS LIKE LOOKING DIRECTLY INTO THE SUN. SOONER OR LATER THIS IS GOING TO BE THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT THAT MAY OR MAY NOT RESULT, BUT NOT LIMITED TO DEATH. IT IS A DEFECT ON THE PART OF TOYOTA AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND THEIR LIVES SHOULD NOT BE PUT IN DANGER FOR AN OBVIOUS DEFECT THAT MUST BE CORRECTED. *TR

HERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY TOYOTA CAMRY, 4-DOOR LE SEDAN, 2007. THE INDICATORS BRAKE AND ABS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED LIGHTING UP OCCASIONALLY AFTER THE FRONT BRAKE SERVICE ON 07-29-14. WHEN IT IS HAPPENING, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, TACHOMETER, AND SPEEDOMETER ARE MOVING QUICKLY, UP AND DOWN AND FINALLY TO '0' POSITION. MY MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO FIX IT AND SUGGESTED TO BRING THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP. I VISITED TOYOTA SERVICES. CODE U0073 WAS PRESENT IN THEIR TESTS. THEY COULD NOT PINPOINT A PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED ADDITIONAL TESTS, BUT TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT GUARANTEE THE PROBLEM WILL BE RESOLVED. CONSIDERING THE SAID ABOVE, I DECIDED NOT TO DO ANY MORE TESTS. I CONTINUE DRIVE MY CAR WITH THE DESCRIBED PROBLEM. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR BROKE AFTER PUTTING INTO USE. THE BROKEN HINGE ON THE VISOR DOES NOT ALLOW THE VISOR TO BE MOVED INTO A STORED POSITION, OUT OF THE DRIVERS VIEW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD COVER WAS MELTING AND FRACTURED WHEN TOUCHED. THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT AREA MELTED AND EXPOSED THE BOARD. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAGS MAY DEPLOY AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRES MAY FAIL, IF EXPOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A RAPID INCREASE IN RPMS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

UNIT JERKS AND STALLS, BURNS OIL .SOME TIMES WHITE SMOKE COMES FROM THE TAIL PIPE . OIL HAS TO BE REPLACED CONSTANTLY AFTER OIL CHANGE , RECOMMENDED WEIGHT 5W20W IS USED. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BURNED SPARK PLUGS. THIS IS A PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ON A RECALL LIST. *TR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING DANGEROUS GLARE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY VEHICLE IS MELTING. IT'S STICKY, LOOKS WET, AND ON SOME DAYS IT ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE CLAY. WHEN THE SUN IS OUT IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE DUE TO THE INTENSE GLARE. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DAYS I TRY TO LOOK AT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THERE'S BEEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC LIKE YOU DO WHEN SOMEONE IS COMING AT YOU WITH THEIR HI-BEAMS ON. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINTS MADE CONCERNING THIS ISSUE BUT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. WITH THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE REPORTING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ITS TIME FOR SOMEONE TO STEP UP AND MAKE OTHERS WITH THE ABILITY TO HELP DO THE RIGHT THING. THIS IS NONSENSE. *TR

THE STICKY AND MELTING DASHBOARD. THE DASH FEELS LIKE CLAY AND IS PLIABLE, IT CAN EASILY BE PEELED AWAY. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT WIPING IT DOWN WOULD HELP BUT IT SEEMS OVER TIME THE DASHBOARD CANNOT BE CLEANED, TOO STICKY. IT'S EXTREMELY ANNOYING BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY SO SHINY THAT WE GET A LOT OF GLARE ESPECIALLY ON A BRIGHT DAY. THIS IS BECOMING A REALLY BIG ISSUE BECAUSE IT REFLECTS ONTO THE WINDOW WHEN DRIVING, WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT/ISSUE THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO OWN UP TO AND FIX BEFORE SOMEONE GET SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE AND IS HANGING LOOSE BLOCKING VISION. *TR

MELTING DASHBOARDS BECOME STICKY, SHINY AND CRACKED. YOU CAN SEE WHERE I'VE ACCIDENTALLY NICKED IT AND THE THING COMES OFF. IT'S VERY HARD TO DRIVE WHEN YOU'RE BLINDED BY GLARE AND YOU DON'T SEE A BIG PORTION OF THE ROAD. IT'S JUST MELTING MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY. I HAVE KIDS, IS NOT SAFE, I AM SURE IS TOXIC AND IS NOT ONLY MELTING BUT ALSO BREAKING AND MY KIDS CAN EAT IT. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IN THIS CAR IS MELTING AND CREATING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. IT MAKES IT HARD TO SEE. *TR

THE DASH BOARD ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS BECOME EXTREMELY SOFT AND GLARES BACK INTO THE WINDOW CAUSING IT HARD TO SEE. THIS CLEARLY SHOULD BE A DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT. IT IS CLEAR TO SEE THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE AS PER ALL THE POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET. I HOPE THAT THE AGENCY IN CHARGE OF SAFETY LOOKS AT THIS AS A REAL PROBLEM AND NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS BEFORE REACTING. *TR

ON 9/19/14, I SPOKE WITH "[XXX]", CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER, TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS REGARDING MY MELTING DASHBOARD. I EXPLAINED THAT IT'S A SECURITY ISSUE THAT TOYOTA HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF, AND WHICH I BECAME AWARE OF BY LOCAL MEDIA. I INFORMED HER THAT THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT GLARE FROM MY DASHBOARD, AND ANYTHING THAT COMES IN CONTACT WITH IT STICKS, SO I CAN'T EVEN USE A VISOR. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN DELRAY BEACH, FL HAS OFFERED TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD FOR AN OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE TO ME OF $600 (TOTAL REPORTEDLY NORMALLY $2000), HOWEVER, I ADVISED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO COST TO ME DUE TO THE KNOWN SECURITY ISSUES, REPORTED ACCIDENTS, THEIR COMPANY'S INTEGRITY AND MY LOYALTY AS A LONGTIME TOYOTA CUSTOMER. [XXX] REMINDED ME THAT MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND THAT "OUT OF RESPECT FOR YOU, THE DEALERSHIP IS OFFERING YOU ASSISTANCE. WE DON'T HAVE A RECALL NOTICE OR CUSTOMER SUPPORT FOR THIS VEHICLE, SO THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE." AS A CORPORATION, TOYOTA SHOULD BE ASHAMED AND BE PROACTIVE IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. ULTIMATELY, SOMEONE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR MISFORTUNE WHEN A LOVED ONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIES IN AN ACCIDENT ATTRIBUTED TO THE GLARE. TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN WILLING TO SEND ME A VOUCHER OR MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR THE $600 TO REPLACE MY DASHBOARD. PUBLIC OPINION CAN AFFECT THEIR BOTTOMLINE AND THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY WILLING TO PUT THE PUBLIC AT RISK TO SAVE A FEW DOLLARS UPFRONT. *TR

ONE DAY AFTER TOYOTA REPLACED MY REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS, I WAS DRIVING WHEN SUDDENLY THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP, THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO, THE TACHOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO, AND THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE FLUTTERED BETWEEN ZERO AND MIDRANGE. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE LASTED ONLY A MINUTE OR TWO, BUT ON THE NEXT MORNING IT HAPPENED TWICE, EACH OCCURRENCE LASTING SEVERAL MINUTES. IT WAS VERY DISCONCERTING TO BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOT HAVE A WORKING SPEEDOMETER AND NOT KNOW IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES, SINCE BOTH THE BRAKE AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS WERE LIT. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA THAT MORNING AND IT TOOK THEM 4 DAYS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, COMING TO THE CONCLUSION WITH HELP FROM TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS THAT IT MUST BE THE ABS COMPUTER. IT COSTS $1800 PLUS THEY ARE CHARGING ME 8 HOURS OF LABOR (EVEN THOUGH THEY SPENT SEVERAL DAYS TRYING TO DIAGNOSE IT) FOR A TOTAL OF $2700. WHEN MY WIFE FOUND OUT HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST, SHE GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND IN A SECOND THERE WERE OTHER IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS MENTIONING THE ABS COMPUTER REPLACEMENT. *TR

DASH IS STICKY. THE GLARE IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE RESIDUE ON THE DASH . NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR

TOYOTA DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED IMMEDIATE REPAIRS (REPLACEMENT) OF FRONT, LEFT, AND RIGHT STRUT (PART # 48520-09F40 AND 48510-09M90). TOTAL REPAIR COST ESTIMATED IS $719.73. THIS IS MY THIRD TOYOTA CAMRY. 2004 CAMRY BECAME "LEMON" FOR BRAKES PROBLEM, 2005 CAMRY BECAME "LEMON" FOR ENGINE PROBLEM. AND NOW ON MY THIRD CAMRY, AFTER DRIVING ONLY 65000 MILES, FRONT STRUTS OF MY CAR HAVE LEAKING OIL. MY CAR WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT. I SEE ON WEBSITE MANY COMPLAINTS FOR LEAKING OIL ON STRUTS ON 2007 CAMRYS. I SUGGEST TO TOYOTA MAKING RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD IS TACKY OR STICKY AND EXTREMELY SHINY. SUNLIGHT REFLECTS OFF THE SURFACE OF THE DASHBOARD, CREATING A GLARE THAT OBSTRUCTS VISION. THE STICKY NATURE OF THE DASHBOARD SURFACE MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO CLEAN. THE MATERIAL IS EXTREMELY SOFT AND EASY TO DAMAGE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY CAR GETS STICKY FROM THE HEAT AND CANNOT BE CLEANED OR TREATED. DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF DAY AND THE DIRECTION OF THE SUN IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE OF THE GLARE OFF OF THE GLOSSY/STICKY DASHBOARD. I THOUGHT THIS WAS UNIQUE TO ME UNTIL I PERFORMED AN INTERNET SEARCH. WHEN I CALLED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN FORT WORTH, TX, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT. I THEN CONTACTED A TRIM SHOP WHO TOLD ME THAT THEY HEAR ABOUT IT ALL OF THE TIME. I THINK TOYOTA NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM SO THAT IT IS SAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO DRIVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND HELP IN FINDING A SOLUTION. *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS SOFT TO TOUCH AND STICKY ESPECIALLY IN THE HEAT. IF YOU TOUCH IT WITH YOUR NAIL IT WILL MAKE A INDENTION. IT IS VERY HOT TO TOUCH. *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND DAMAGED. *TR

3 OR 4 YEARS AGO MY DASH BOARD STARTED MELTING. IT IS STICKY AND HAS A SHINE TO IT THAT CAUSES A GLARE WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN. I HAVE ASKED TOYOTA ABOUT IT AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT HAS THE MELTING DASHBOARD. I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT MANY TIMES STARTING IN SEPTEMBER OF 2012. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY FAULT. SOMETHING I USED ON DASHBOARD. (CLEANING PRODUCT). I KNEW I HAD NOT AND INSISTED MID LAST YEAR THAT THEY TAKE PICTURES AND SUBMIT TO HAVE IT FIXED. I DID NOT GET A RESPONSE. LAST MONTH AUGUST, 2014 8 ON YOUR SIDE AIRED THE STORY ON MELTING DASHBOARDS. I CALLED TOYOTA AGAIN AND THEY SAID THEY WERE SORRY NO ONE GOT BACK TO ME. THEY SAID THEY HAD THE COMPLAINT ON FILE, BUT COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY I GOT NO RESPONSE. A FEW DAYS LATER THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT FOR JUST UNDER $800.00. I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND THINK IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE GLARE IT CAUSES OFF THE WINDSHIELD MAKES IF DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. ALSO MELTING PLASTIC MAY NOT BE GOOD FOR THE AIR QUALITY. THANK YOU I WAS IN CONTACT WITH CLEARWATER TOYOTA. THEY SAID I HAD 90 DAYS TO ACCEPT OR DENY THEIR OFFER. *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING,AND ITS ONLY GETTING WORSE,CANT CLEAN IT OFF,BUT ASIDE FROM THAT I FEAR THAT IN AN EMERGENCY MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT PROPERLY DEPLOY...THIS IS A HORRIBLE YET SCARY ISSUE TO HAVE...SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAR WITH A MELTING DASHBOARD,I AM A BIG HONDA AND TOYOTA FAN AS FOR THE REST OFF MY FAMILY..AND I CAN TELL YOU THIS CANNOT BE TOYOTA QUALITY OF SERVICE,AND I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT THE CHEAP MELTING GUM LIKE MATERIALS USED FOR THESE DASHBOARDS ARE NOT UP TO TOYOTA STANDARDS.. *TR

GOT IN FRONT RIGHT SEAT AND THE SEAT BELT WILL NOT PULL OUT TO BUCKET. *TR

MY TOYOTA CAMRY HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARD. ITS MELTED AND IS STICKY HAS A VERY HIGH SHINE IN THE SUNLIGHT. AT TIMES OCCLUDES MY VISION FOR SAFE DRIVING AND I FEEL IS VERY UNSAFE. OBVIOUSLY IT SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE I HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED A DEALER WHEN THEY WERE DOING A MARKETING SURVEY WHICH SPECIFICALLY ASKED IF OUR CAR HAS DASHBOARD MELTING ISSUES. WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID THE DEALER WOULD PAY FOR THE PART (@ $1000) AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE INSTALL @ ANOTHER $1000. THAT IS TOO MUCH MONEY (WHICH I DON'T HAVE) AND IF THEY ARE ADMITTING IT IS A MATERIAL FAULT, THEN THEY SHOULD DO A RECALL AND PAY 100% BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. CAN YOU HELP? I NEED YOUR HELP. I REALLY LIKE MY CAR, BUT IT IS DANGEROUS. *TR

THE BRAKE AND ABS INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID CONTAINER AND IT WAS EXTREMELY LOW. I ADDED BRAKE FLUID. THIS CONCERNED ME BECAUSE I HAD MY CAR SERVICED LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AND FELT THEY SHOULD HAVE NOTICED THAT THE FLUID LEVEL WAS LOW. THE BRAKE AND ABS INDICATOR LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP; A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED AND I WAS INFORMED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE ACTUATOR. TOTAL COST WAS $2,086.40. SINCE I'VE HAD THE BRAKE ACTUATOR REPLACED, I'VE NOTICED THAT THE DELAYED BRAKE RESPONSE NO LONGER EXISTS. *TR

TOYOTA SHOULD PROVIDE A RECALL REGARDING THE REPLACEMENT OF A DEFECTIVE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS VEHICLE DASHBOARD. MY CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT FOR SOME REASON THE VEHICLE HAS A STICKY, MELTING AND DIRTY DASHBOARD WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN BECAUSE IF YOU TOUCH IT VANISHES, WHILE CLEANING IT. FURTHERMORE, WHEN YOU DRIVE ON DAYLIGHT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE WITH THE GLARE COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD, WHICH DEFINITELY MAY CAUSE A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT, INCREASING THE POSSIBILITY FOR INJURY AND EVEN DEATH ALONG TIME. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ASSISTANCE IN REPLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS VEHICLE DASHBOARD . *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED NOT ONLY WAS THE DASHBOARD MELTING, STICKY, AND UGLY, THE GLARE COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD AND THEREFORE GREATLY INCREASED THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY. *JB

ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ALSO MY SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE DOES NOT MOVE, AND RPM GAUGE STARTS FLUCTUATING. THIS OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (SKID CONTROL ECU) A TOTAL COST OF $3,453 TO FIX. :( MY CAR HAS ONLY 67,750 MILES. I DO KNOW THE 2007 CAMRY HYBRID IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THOSE ARE BEING RECALLED. *TR

ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON. THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER FALLING TO ZERO, A/C SOUNDING AS IF IT SHUT DOWN, WARM AIR COMES OUT. *TR

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WENT OUT IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND THE TOYOTA PLACE SAID THE ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WOULD COST 2100.00 TO FIX IT. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY JUST RAN OUT ON MY CAR SO THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT. I SEE THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS INVESTIGATING THE 2007 CAMRY HYBRID FOR THE SAME REASON I AM JUST WONDERING IF MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IS THE SAME BRAKING SYSTEM THAT IS IN THOSE CARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE ABS AND EMERGENCY WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE AIR CONDITIONER PRODUCED HOT AIR, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED, AND THE SPEED RAPIDLY DECREASED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER, PLACE IT INTO PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE IN ORDER FOR IT TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR HAD INTERNAL FAILURE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,785.

ENTIRE DASHBOARD IS STICKY/MELTING. YOU CAN'T CLEAN IT AND THERE IS A GLARE. IF YOU BUMP THE DASH, A SMALL PIECE WILL COME OFF. *TR

CAR PASSENGER SIDE VISOR FAILED AND HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN BLOCKING THE DRIVER SIDE RIGHT HAND VIEW. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE AND FORCED ME TO PUT THE CAR INTO A DANGEROUS POSITION IN THE CENTER LANE. FORTUNATELY OTHER TRAFFIC HAD SLOWED TO ALLOW TO PROCEED INTO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THIS IS THE SECOND VISOR FAILURE FOR THIS VEHICLE - CLEARLY A DESIGN/ENGINEERING ISSUE. FIRST WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY REPLACEMENT. *TR

DASHBOARD MELTING, STICKY, DISINTEGRATING TO THE TOUCH AND BASICALLY FALLING APART!!! *TR

I WAS PARKING MY CAR AND WHEN I WENT TO STOP CAR AND TURN IT OFF, I EXPERIENCED UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION. CAR JUMPED THE CURB AND CRASHED INTO THE CONCRETE BARRIER OF THE PARKING GARAGE. *TR

I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE MELTING DASHBOARD AND HOPE I DON'T. IT IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE DEALT WITH. IT SEEMS THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT UNLESS THEY ARE MADE TO SO. MY DASHBOARD HAS GOTTEN SOFT AND CONTINUES TO GET SOFT EVEN THOUGH I KEEP IT GARAGED. THERE ARE GLARES AND GOUGES NOW. THOSE ARE DISTRACTING AND CAN EASILY RESULT IN ME OR SOMEONE ELSE HAVING A CRASH BECAUSE OF IT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE.I HAVE SPOKEN TO CORPORATE AND THE LOCAL DEALER AND HAVE COME AWAY FRUSTRATED. ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS ASSIST IN THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DASH, AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY$1100 MYSELF. IT NOT RIGHT FOR THE CONSUMER TO PAY SUCH A PRICE WHEN THE CAR MAKER HAS CLEARLY MADE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. *TR

THE DRIVER-SIDE SUN VISOR MOUNTING MECHANISM FAILED CAUSING THE VISOR TO DANGLE AND SWING FREELY, OBSTRUCTING DRIVER'S VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED IN MAY 2010 AND WAS REPLACED, THE REPLACEMENT ALSO FAILED (AS THE FIRST VISOR) IN JULY 2014. THE DEFECT IN THE VISOR DESIGN FLAW WAS NEVER CORRECTED CAUSING IT FAIL REPEATEDLY. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. TOYOTA ALSO REFUSED TO REPLACE THE VISOR THE SECOND TIME STATING IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALED THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CAMRY SUN VISORS. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED TO COME DOWN WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS STICKY AND BEGAN TO MELT. THE FAILURE CAUSED A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND IMPAIRED THE CONTACT'S VISION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, AT FIRST (APPROX. 2011) THE DASHBOARD WOULD FEEL STICKY, AS IF SOMETHING HAD SPILLED ON IT. HOWEVER THE STICKINESS COULD NOT BE CLEANED UP. IT WAS IN FACT THE MATERIAL OF THE DASHBOARD MELTING. IT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE AND SPREADS ACROSS A LARGER AREA, TO THE POINT THAT NOW (2014) THE DASH CANNOT BE TOUCHED WITHOUT A MARK BEING LEFT IN THE MELTED MATERIAL. IT LOOKS WET AND IS SO GLOSSY THAT THE GLARE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD, NOT JUST WITH THE BLINDING GLARE WHICH IMPAIRS VISION, BUT BECAUSE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS CONTAINED INSIDE OF THE DASHBOARD AND THE DASHBOARD BEING MELTED MAY AFFECT ITS DEPLOYMENT. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING EAST ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY THE SUN WAS HITTING MY DASHBOARD AND BECAUSE OF THE MELTING CONDITION OF THE DASHBOARD THERE WAS A GLARE IN FRONT OF ME THAT IMPAIRED MY VISION. IT FORCED ME TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN TO GET WAY FROM THE GLARE. THIS DASH BOARD BECOMES SO STICKY IN THE HEAT THAT I CANT DISPLAY PARKING PASSES IN THE WINDOW BECAUSE I WON'T BE ABLE TO REMOVE THEM. BECAUSE OF THIS I RUN THE RISK OF BEING TICKETED. A DASHBOARD SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS CONDITION. IT IS MADE OF FAULTY MATERIAL. *TR
