2007 Toyota Camry complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR PLASTIC HOLDER DETACHED FROM ITS HOUSING, CAUSING THE SUN VISOR TO HANG ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I NOTICED WHEN APPLYING SUDDEN BRAKES LOW ENGINE OIL LIGHT CAME ON BUT IT WENT AWAY WHEN BRAKES WERE RELEASED. I THOUGHT IT MAY BE TIME FOR OIL CHANGE AND GOT OIL CHANGE DONE SHORTLY. THAT PROBLEM DIDN'T CAME BACK TILL FEW MONTHS LATER. I HAD MY OIL CHANGE DONE FROM THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE WAS NOT DUE YET SO I WENT TO THE NEARBY AUTO SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME IT DIDN'T SHOW ANY OIL IN THE DIPSTICK SO THEY DID THE OIL CHANGE AND FILLED IT UP(NO VISIBLE PROBLEM NOTICED). I THOUGHT I WILL GET IT INSPECTED WITH THE DEALER ON MY NEXT VISIT. NEXT TIME WHEN I WENT TO DEALER I MENTIONED IT AND THEY WERE TOO BUSY TO CHECK THAT BUT THEY DID VISUAL INSPECTION AND DIDN'T SEE ANY PROBLEM OR LEAKS. AGAIN AFTER SAME ISSUE THEY TOLD ME TO COME AFTER 1200 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE BUT THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM. I HAD TO CARRY THE OIL WITH ME JUST IN CASE AS THE NEARBY AUTO PLACE TOLD ME IT WAS ABNORMAL. I HAD TO TOP IT UP AGAIN SHORTLY AS THE DIP STICK SHOWED NO OIL. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME TO COME BACK AFTER 2500 MILES AND THEY SEALED THE KNOB WITH SILICON OR SOMETHING SO IT CANNOT BE TAMPERED WITH AND THEY TOLD ME TO COME ON WEEKDAY SO THEY CAN TALK TO THE TOYOTA ENGINEER. WHEN I RETURNED THEY TESTED IT AND FOUND NORMAL CONSUMPTION AND NO PROBLEM FOUND. I AM STILL FACING THAT PROBLEM AND I CALLED TOYOTA HOTLINE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD GO BY THE DEALERS OPINION ON THAT AND THERE WAS NO KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN I READ THESE POSTS ON THIS WEBSITE THE

VVTI OIL LINE RUPTURE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY W/ V6 ENGINE WE PURCHASED THIS NEW AT A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER W/ MYSELF AS THE ONLY OTHER OCCASIONAL DRIVER. THE VEHICLE HAS RECEIVED REGULAR MAINTENANCE ALTHOUGH NOT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. VEHICLE, AT TIME OF INCIDENT (11-15-13), HAD 50,893 MILES. WHEN MY WIFE RETURNED HOME FROM SHOPPING SHE SAW A TRAIL OF OIL UP THE DRIVEWAY AND INTO THE GARAGE. THE OIL TRAIL APPEARED TO BEGIN DOWN THE STREET NEAR OUR HOME. WHEN WE RESTARTED THE ENGINE, OIL GUSHED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE V-6 ENGINE. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND IT WAS ABOUT 1 1/2 - 2 QUARTS LOW. OUR TOYOTA USES NO OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. OIL HAD SPRAYED ALL OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE, THE UNDERCARRIAGE, AND SOME OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED A VVTI OIL LINE PROBLEM WITH CERTAIN TOYOTA VEHICLES W/ A V-6 ENGINE. A SHORT RUBBER SECTION OF EXTERNAL ENGINE OIL LINE WOULD LEAK OR RUPTURE. OURS RUPTURED WITH-OUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS OR ALARMS. THE NEXT MORNING WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED AND THEY REPAIRED AND VERIFIED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE VVTI OIL LINE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED BY TOYOTA AND WE HAD TO PAY. I FOUND OUT TOYOTA DID HAVE A LSC 90-K PHASE TWO CAMPAIGN THAT DID COVER THIS BUT IT HAD EXPIRED. WE WERE UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I CALLED AND COMPLAINED TO 2 LEVELS OF TOYOTA THEN WROTE THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT TORRANCE, CA. BUT THEY ALL SAID LETTERS WERE SENT OUT

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE FELL DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING, IT WOULD NOT STAY UP ON IT'S OWN, ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THEY STOP, WHICH I COULDN'T SEE UNTIL I HAD PUSH THE SUN VISOR OUT OF THE WAY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFELY PROBLEM THAT I CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT BUT THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH ALOT OF OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. CAR USING APPROXIMATELY 1.75 QUARTS FOR EVERY 500 MILES DRIVEN. TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGES PROBLEM IN TSB 0094-11 BUT WILL NOT ALLOW ANY WARRANTY REPAIR TO BE PERFORMED MY CAR IS NOW OUT OF THE 6 YR 60,000 MILE WARRANTY THEY REQUIRE IT TO BE TO FIX THE . REPAIR COST IS IN EXCESS OF $3000.00 TO PROPERLY CORRECT THE PROBLEM TOYOTA NEEDS TO EXTENT THE YEARS AND MILLAGE TO TRY TO FIX MORE OF THE AFFECTED CARS THEY ADMITTED THERE IS A ENGINE PISTON DESIGN FLAW CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I'M RETURNING HOME FROM WORK AND DRIVING ON A FREEWAY WITH 60MPH LIMIT. I REMEMBER DRIVING AT 45MPH AND MAINTAINED A VERY GOOD DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME TRIED TO SLOWED DOWN AND THAT PROMPTED ME TO APPLY THE BRAKES. ALL OF A SUDDEN BRAKES FAILED AND COULDN'T CONTROL THE CAR TO STOP. THE CAR JUST SKIDDED AND HIT THE VAN WITH BIG FORCE. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME IS A SHUTTLE AND NO PASSENGERS INJURED. ENGINE AND FRONT PART DAMAGED VERY BAD AND I MYSELF HIT MY FACE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I CUT MY LIP AND HIT ON MY NOSE VERY BAD. I STILL RECOVERING FROM INJURIES. THOUGH THE CRASH IS SO BAD, AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND RESULTED INJURIES ON ME. THE POLICE AND OTHERS WHO TRIED TO HELP ME WONDERED WHY THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. ALL THESE DAYS I'M TRYING TO RECOVER FROM THE INJURIES AND COULDN'T SEND THIS COMPLAINT OVER. I GOT THE WEBSITE REFERENCE AFTER CHECKING WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR

STARTED MY CAR, NOTICED OIL LAMP CAME ON THEN OFF. PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AND OIL LAMP LIGHT FLASHED AGAIN. OIL LIGHT CAME ON AT LEAST A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES. CAME TO TRAFFIC LIGHT, CAME TO A SOFT STOP TO OBSERVE TRAFFIC BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO TURN RIGHT. CAR THEN SHUT OFF AND ALL INDICATORS WERE ON, SUCH AS, BATTERY, ENGINE LIGHT, OIL LIGHT, AND AIR BAG. I PROCEEDED TO RESTART CAR. NO PROBLEM WITH RESTART, OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO FIND OUT WHY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND DUE TO FEAR! TOYOTA EMPLOYEE TOLD ME THEY WOULD DO A DIAGNOSTIC ON MY VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE TO FIND CAUSE OF SHUT DOWN. PLEASE NOTE, I DID AN OIL CHANGE OCT.15, 2013 AND NOV 18, 2013 CAR SHUT DOWN! AFTER ARRIVING AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY CAR CHECKED TO FIND OUT WHY IT SIMPLY SHUT DOWN, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS NO TIME TO DO A CHECK TO FIND OUT WHAT CAUSED MY CAR TO SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANAGER GAVE ME A VERY SIMPLE REASON AS TO WHY AND WHAT CAUSED IT TO SHUT DOWN. MANAGER TOLD ME I HAVE AN OIL LEAK INSIDE THE ENGINE OF MY CAR. MANAGER STATED I DIDN'T HAVE TO BUY A NEW ENGINE, BUT I NEEDED TO DO A 100-500 OIL DIP STICK CHECK. WHY WAS THE DIP STICK DOWN TO NOTHING IN THE FIRST PLACE? WHY WAS THERE NO OIL IN MY CAR? TECHNICIAN NEVER PUT OIL IN MY CAR. TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE TO ENGINE AS A RESULT OF THEIR MISHANDLING OF VEHICLE AND MAKING FALSE STATEMENTS REGARDING ME. TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR STRESS ON OF MY TOYOTA 2007 CAMRY ENGIN

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2007 AND HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH IT SINCE 2009 WITH THE CAR BURNING OIL. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ( NOT THE ONE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR IT. I WOULD GET MY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES AND BEFORE IT WAS DUE TO GET THE NEXT, THE OIL LIGHT WOULD COME ON SIGNALING THE OIL WAS LOW. WHEN I WOULD GO TO CHECK MY OIL, SURE ENOUGH, THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO OIL IN MY CAR.. EACH OIL CHANGE THE MECHANIC WAS MIND BOGGLED THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN MY CAR. OF COURSE, I WAS ALARMED AS I KNOW I DO NOT DRIVE MY CAR MUCH AND I COULD NOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME UNDERSTAND WHERE THE OIL WAS GOING SINCE I DID NOT HAVE A LEAK.. AFTER MY LAST OIL CHANGE, I FOUND OUT THE ENGINE MUST BE BURNING THE OIL. THIS IS BEYOND UNSAFE. HAD I NOT LOOKED FOR SIMILAR SITUATIONS ONLINE, I WOULD HAVE NOT HAD ANY IDEA THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MY CAR. WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE SOMEONE LOSING THEIR LIFE OR GETTING HURT AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAD DEVELOPED A STICKY FILM AND WHEN IN THE SUN, CAUSED A BLINDING GLARE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE LEAVING THE LOT. BIGGEST ISSUE BEING IN APRIL 2012 BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH CAR BURNING/LOOSING OIL. CAR WOULD LOOSE 1 QUART OR MORE WITH IN 200 MILES. HAVE TAKEN IT TO MECHANICSVILLE TOYOTA ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND HAD A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE ONLY TO BE TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE MOTOR AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY NOT ONLY DUE TO MILEAGE BUT NOT BEING A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND NOT HAVING MY SERVICE WORK DONE THERE. MY HUSBAND IS A MECHANIC AND HAS DONE ALL THE SERVICE WORK BY THE BOOK. MY ISSUES HAPPEN AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHERE THE CAR WILL JERK, SHAKE, ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE WHILE THE ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND WILL BLINK WELL OVER 20 TIMES BEFORE STAYING LIT. I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND WITH A CASE OF OIL IN MY CAR NEVER KNOWING WHEN I WOULD NEED TO ADD. I HAVE HAD TO BORROW A CAR FROM MY FAMILY AS I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS ONE. IT CAN AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT LEAVE ME OR JUST STALL WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE KEPT DETAILED NOTES FROM GOING BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER. AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA WITH THE PISTON RINGS/SEALS, ETC. EVEN THOUGH I KNOW MY AR IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, I FEEL TOYOTA BEING SUCH A WELL KNOWN COMPANY AND HARPING ABOUT SAFETY SHOULD STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING WITH OR WITHOUT GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE, AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I KNOW I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA VEHICLE AS TH

I PURCHASED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY NEW IN 2007 ( THIS IS MY 5TH TOYOTA) AND RELIGIOUS FOLLOW THE SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE TOYOTA RECOMMENDS. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 50 K MILES THE ENGINE STARTED BURNING OIL AND THE ENGINE BECAME VERY NOISY. THE CAR CURRENTLY USES ABOUT A QUART EVERY 1200 MILES. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE. FROM WHAT I READ ON THE SAFERCAR.GOV, EDMUNDS.COM WEBSITES AND THE CONSUMERAFFAIRS.ORG WEBSITE THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE AS ACKNOWLEDGED IN TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETIN T-SB-0094-11 ISSUED 8/11/2011. HTTP://WWW.RAV4WORLD.COM/TSB/2011/T-SB-0094-11.PDF . BASICALLY STATING ?THE PISTON ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE CHANGED? (OF COURSE AS AN ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS ENGINE AND VEHICLE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED).I CAN SEE BY OTHER FILED COMPLAINTS THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. PERSONAL IMPACT ASIDE, THIS IS A VEHICLE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY ISSUE. I PUT ALMOST AS MUCH OIL IN THE CAR EVERY WEEK AS I DO GASOLINE. THE ADDITIONAL EMISSIONS CAUSED BY THE OIL BURNING IS BEING OFFSET PARTIALLY BY THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM, BUT ONLY PARTIALLY, AND EVENTUALLY WILL FAIL TO FILTER IT OUT ALTOGETHER. I URGE NHTSA TO TAKE ACTION AND RAISE THIS TO RECALL STATUS.. *TR

DRIVING MY CAMRY HYBRID THIS MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK, STOPPED BY GAS STATION FOR SNACKS AND DRINK, BRAKE SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED UPON BACKING OUT OF MY STALL. BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK GOING FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY DASH. LOOKED IT UP IN OWNERS MANUAL. TOLD ME BRAKES WORKED BUT TO DRIVE SLOW. IMMEDIATELY DROVE HOME. HAD TO STOP AT MULTIPLE FOUR WAY STOPS, NEARLY WRECKED TWICE. VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT OR KILLED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO RESOLVE! TURNS OUT IT IS MY ABS ACCUMULATOR, TOYOTA WANTS $2500 TO FIX. I WANT TOYOTA TO FIX IT FOR FREE SINCE IT IS A SAFETY SYSTEM MALFUNCTION ON A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES DROPPED TO ZERO, THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS, ILLUMINATED, AND THE A/C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. PROBLEM PERSISTED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THE TACHOMETER BOUNCED AROUND WHILE THE REST OF THE GAUGES REMAINED AT 0 OR COLD FOR THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE. THIS CONTINUES TO BE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE CONNECTED TO TRAVEL SPEED, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATION OR ANY OTHER EXTERNAL VARIATIONS. ALTHOUGH CURRENTLY THIS SEEMS TO BE THE NOW NORMAL AS IT IS IN THIS STATE MORE OFTEN THAN IT WORKS PROPERLY. I DO NOT KNOW THE SPEED THAT I AM TRAVELING. DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK WHEN TEMPERATURE NEEDS TO BE COOLER BECAUSE A/C DOES NOT WORK DURING THESE EPISODES AND ENTIRE WINDSHIELD CLOUDS UP MAKING IT DANGEROUS.HAD TO DRIVE WITH WINDOWS IN A DRIVING RAINSTORM. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON THIS WEBSITE 6 TIMES IN LAST 6 MONTHS. SEEMS LIKE A RECURRING PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL THERE IS A POPPING/CLUNKING SOUND. HAD DEALERSHIP CHECK THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THAT THE "INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT" NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

OILINESS DASHBOARD IS MAKING DRIVING DIFFICULT WHILE DRIVING TOWARDS SUN, IT IS REFLECTING THE LIGHT TOWARDS MY EYES. WHEN I SEARCHED FOR THE SOLUTION IN INTERNET, I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH 2007 CAMRY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND RPM GAUGE READINGS FLUCTUATED. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE AND ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 141,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUNVISOR WAS FRACTURED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON FOR APPARENTLY NO REASON, TOOK CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE WITH TOYOTA, I HAD TO PAY TO GET PART REPLACED, AFTER ALMOST $400 REPAIR COST, GOT VEHICLE BACK AND RUNNING. THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE PUT ON THE BACK OF CONSUMERS AS THESE ARE SAFETY PARTS THAT SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAT AVERAGE PARTS OF THE CARS. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RIGHT FRONT AXLE AND TIRES REPLACED ON VEHICLE AT LOW MILEAGE. *SMD

THIS IS NOT FAIR TO CONSUMER: SUDDENLY MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 HAS SUSPENSION LEAK (STRUTS) AT BOTH FRONT AND REAR AT LEVEL 2 (PER THE INSPECTION OF REGULAR VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AT A TOYOTA DEALER). THEY ASKS FOR 1700 USD TO FIX THESE. I KNOW THAT I KEEP THE CAR VERY GOOD, NO ACCIDENT, NOT A MINOR ACCIDENT; AND THE LAST MAINTENANCE ONLY A FEW MONTHS BEFORE FROM ALSO THE TOYOTA DEALER, THEY CHECK GREEN MARK AT SUSPENSION. SO WHY SUDDENLY THE CAR HAS ISSUE WITH BOTH FRONT AND REAR OF SUSPENSION LEAK (STRUTS) AT LEVEL 2? I SEARCHED THE INTERNET, AND FOUND OUT THAT IT LOOKS LIKE TOYOTA HAS THIS ISSUE ALREADY IN THE CAR BUT WITH LESS SEVERE LEVEL, AND SO THERE IS NO WARNING TO THE CONSUMER/BUYER. NOW, AFTER A FEW YEARS OF PURCHASING, THE SUSPENSION LEAK BECOME SEVERE UP TO THE LEVEL THEY ASK THE CONSUMER TO PAY TO FIX, THAT IS NOT A HONEST BUSINESS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL! *TR

DASHBOARD HAS BECOME STICKY AND SHINY AND APPEARS TO BE MELTING. THIS CAUSE AN EXTREME GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE REFLECTION. *TR

WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES DROPPED TO ZERO, THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS, ILLUMINATED, AND THE A/C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. PROBLEM PERSISTED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THE TACHOMETER BOUNCED AROUND WHILE THE REST OF THE GAUGES REMAINED AT 0 OR COLD FOR THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE. THIS CONTINUES TO BE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE CONNECTED TO TRAVEL SPEED, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATION OR ANY OTHER EXTERNAL VARIATIONS. ALTHOUGH CURRENTLY THIS ERRATIC STATE SEEMS TO BE THE NEW NORMAL AS IT IS IN THIS STATE MORE OFTEN THAN IT WORKS PROPERLY. I DO NOT KNOW THE SPEED THAT I AM TRAVELING NOR DO I KNOW IF MY ABS BRAKING SYSTEM WILL WORK SHOULD I EVER BE IN A SITUATION WHERE IT WOULD BE NEEDED SINCE THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON. THIS IS VERY WORRISOME FOR ME BUT I DO NOT HAVE $500 FOR TOYOTA TO "TRY" AND DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AS I HAVE BEEN QUOTED FOR THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TIME. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CANNOT SEEM TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM, ADDITIONALLY, I CANNOT SMOG MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE SHOPS COMPUTER CANNOT COMMUNICATE WITH MY CAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA CAMRY SE 2007 WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR,WE WERE IN THE FREEWAY AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON IT CAUGHT FIRE , IT IS A COMPLETE LOSS.. *TR

I FIRST NOTICED IN EARLY MAY 2013, THAT WHEN I TURN MY VEHICLE LEFT OR RIGHT AT 1 - 5 MPH, THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING RACK/PINION. I MENTIONED TO TOYOTA AT MY LAST SERVICE. I WAS TOLD, AS USUAL, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AND, THAT IS FRUSTRATING BECAUSE WHEN I PROBLEMS WITH MY BREAKS, I HAD TO LODGE A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO REMEDY THAT ISSUE. ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2013, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY VEHICLE PULLED TO THE LEFT. I HIT GOOD SIZE SHRUB AND NOW THERE IS A SLIGHT DENT ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. I SELECTED "CRASH" BECAUSE ALTHOUGH I ONLY HIT A GOOD SIZED SHRUB, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN PULLED DOWN TO BLOCK THE SUN THE VISOR BRACKET FELL OFF. THE DRIVERS SIDE FELL OFF IN DECEMBER 2012 & THE PASSENGER SEPTEMBER 27, 2013. *TR

CLUNKING / SKIPPING FEELING WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

ON 10/21/11 AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT ALL 4 STRUTS WERE LEAKING AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. ON 10/29/11 THE DEALER INSPECTED IT AND STATED THAT THERE WAS "RESIDUE" WHICH IS NORMAL AND NO REPAIR WAS NEEDED AT THIS TIME. THE DEALER DID NOT STATE THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ONLY THAT IT WAS NORMAL TO HAVE SOME LEAKAGE. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT IT IS NOT NORMAL TO BE LEAKING AND IT SHOULD NOT BE LEAKING AT 36,000 MILES. SEVERAL TIMES THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE STRUTS WERE LEAKING. THE LAST TIME ON 9/27/13 HE SAID THE LEAKAGE WAS PAST THE PERCH. SO I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2013. THEY ADMITTED THAT THE STRUTS ARE NOW LEAKING. HOWEVER BOTH THE DEALER AND TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THE REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY PACKAGE. IF THEY HAD STARTED LEAKING DURING THE NORMAL WARRANTY PERIOD OF 3 YEARS/36,000 MILES, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. AGAIN, IN 2011, THEY NEVER STATED IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, JUST THAT IT WAS NORMAL TO HAVE "RESIDUE". I WILL PROBABLY HAVE THE STRUTS REPLACED AT THE DEALER IN CASE THERE IS SOME FUTURE RESOLUTION/REIMBURSEMENT OFFERED ON THIS ISSUE. I DON'T WANT TO KEEP DRIVING THE CAR WITH LEAKING STRUTS. THE FUNNY THING IS THEY OFFER A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON STRUT REPLACEMENT AFTER THE FIRST REPLACEMENT. HMMM, DO THEY BUILD THEM TO FAIL??? *TR

ABS LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY THEN SPEEDOMETER AND RPM GAUGES GOES TO ZERO AND A/C IF IT IS ON BLOWS WARM AIR. *JS

I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD WAS BECOMING TACKY. I HAS GOTTEN STEADILY WORSE. I HAS BECOME SHINY NEAR THE WINSHIELD AND IS ADVANCING TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE DASH. THE DASHBOARD APPEARS TO BE MELTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE ENTIRE SUN ROOF DETACHED FROM THE FRAME AND ROLLED OFF ONTO THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED THE POWER SUN ROOF WAS IN A CLOSED POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRAME OF THE SUN ROOF WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE VISOR IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER FLIPPED DOWN IN FRONT OF DRIVER'S LINE OF VISION MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE TRAFFIC SIGNALS IN FRONT OF CAR AND SOME OF OTHER TRAFFIC. WAS ABLE TO SLOW AND MOVE VISOR OUT OF THE WAY. WHEN PUSHED INTO UPWARD POSITION THE VISOR WILL SOMETIMES STAY UP UNTIL THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP OR DRIVER BEGINS TO DECELERATE, THEN VISOR FLIPS DOWN INTO LINE OF VISION. *TR

IN DRIVEWAY AT OUR HOME PASSENGER WENT TO MOVE VISOR AND DISCOVERED THE PART OF THE VISOR THAT SITS IN THE HOLDER TO KEEP IT IN PLACE WAS NO LONGER FIRM AND APPEARED TO BE COMING APART. IN ORDER NOT TO MAKE THE VISOR INOPERABLE, THE OWNERS DETERMINED NOT TO TRY TO MOVE THE VISOR TO KEEP IT FROM BECOMING FURTHER IMPAIRED. NOW WHEN THE SUN IS COMING INTO THE CAR WINDOW FROM THE SIDE MAKING PASSENGER OR DRIVER VISION DIFFICULT, THE VISOR IS OF NO USE IN BLOCKING IT. *TR

IN 2007 I BOUGHT BRAND NEW TOYOTA CAMRY IN USA. IN 2009 I TOOK THAT CAR TO POLAND WITH ME. IN MAY 2013 OF THIS YEAR I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY BREAKS. I TOOK IT FOR TESTS TO A DEALERSHIP IN ELK POLAND WHERE I LIVE AND THEY SAID THERE IS A DEFECTIVE BRAKE BOOSTER & VACUUM TUBE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. DEALERSHIP SAID TAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A CAR THAT HAS ONLY 29000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE A COPY OF PAPERWORK THAT I RECEIVED FROM THEM. MY DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA USA TO SEE IF THEY CAN SEND THE NEW PART UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. WHEN I CAME TO USA IN MAY 2013 I CONTACTED TOYOTA USA BUT THEY REFUSED TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY SAID CAR IS IN POLAND RIGHT NOW. THEY ADVISED ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA IN POLAND, I DID AND THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS BECAUSE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN USA. I CONTACTED TOYOTA USA AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER 2013 BUT ONCE AGAIN THEY REFUSED TAKING NAY LIABILITY FOR THAT AND THEY SAID I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE NEW PART AND TO HAVE THAT PART REPLACED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE HOW TOYOTA DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CUSTOMERS SAFETY. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. NEW PART COSTS ABOUT $600. I UNDERSTAND PAYING FOR MAINTENANCE OR PART REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE USAGE HOWEVER IT WAS CLEARLY A DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP. *TR

DUE TO FAULTY ENGINEERING DESIGN THE CAR IS BURNING EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL AND HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT COVERS THE CAR UP TO 60,000 MILES ONLY. THE ENGINE CAN FAIL AT ANY TIME DUE TO LACK OF ENGINE OIL AND THE CATALITIC CONVERTER WILL CLOG UP AND BE PUTTING OUT EXCESSIVE EXHAUST FUMES TO THE ENVIRONMENT. MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND NOW HAS 149,000 MILES ON IT AND IT BURNS MORE THEN 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1200 MILES AND ITS GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY ITS DRIVEN. I KNOW IT IS SELF DESTRUCTING. TOYOTA ADMITS THE ENGINE PISTONS WERE NOT DESIGNED PROPERLY. *TR

THE DASHBOARD NEAR TO THE WINDSHIELD IS TACKY AND STICKY. IT APPEARS THAT THE DASH IS RELEASING A CHEMICAL SIMILAR TO GLUE. I'VE CONTACTED MULTIPLE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND TOYOTA DIRECTLY AND THEY CLAIM TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. BUT A SIMPLE SEARCH OF THE INTERNET SHOWS THIS HAPPENING NATIONWIDE. I DID PURCHASE MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE NEW AT THE END OF 2006. MY WINDOWS ARE TINTED WITH 20% AND I USE A SUNSHADE REGULARLY AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BECOME MORE EVIDENT THIS PAST MONTH/ *TR

A PULSATION WAS DETECTED IN THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. IT APPEARED THAT THE VEHICLE'S ROTORS HAD WARPED. FOLLOWING REPLACEMENT OF THE ROTORS AND THE BRAKE PADS, THE SAME CONDITION WAS OBSERVED AT 45,737 MILES. THIS CONDITION LIKELY INCREASES THE STOPPING DISTANCE OF THE CAR.

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 11 YEARS, I HAVE ONLY OWNED TOYOTA'S. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH MY MOST RECENT CAMRY PURCHASE. MY DASHBOARD IS COMPLETELY COMING TO PIECES!!! ITS EXTREMELY SOFT AND DELICATE. CANNOT BE TOUCHED IN HEAT OR PIECES WILL COME OFF, AND DEEP SCRATCHES ARE MADE FROM THE PASSING OF A FINGER NAIL. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN MY LIFE. I AM DISAPPOINTED IN THE DASH BOARD MATERIAL. I TAKE WELL CARE OF MY CARS, WASHING IT WEEKLY. I WILL PROBABLY RECONSIDER PURCHASING ANOTHER TOYOTA, I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING MY MONEY'S WORTH...APPARENTLY IM GETTING WHAT I PAID FOR. WHAT A FAIL!! ITS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD AND IT LOOKS MORE WORN OUT THAN THE FIRST CAMRY I EVER OWNED! INTERIOR MATERIAL IS CHEAP. HONESTLY CONSIDERING TURNING IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY FOR A BETTER QUALITY VEHICLE. HEARTBREAKING TO SEE MY HARD EARNED MONEY COME TO PIECES BEFORE I HAVE EVEN FINISHED PAYING FOR IT. REPAIRING IT OUT OF MY POCKET IS NOT EVEN AN OPTION. *JB

THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR BEGAN FLAPPING DOWN, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ALONG WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS UNFORTUNATELY THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAD OCCURRED AS THE DRIVER (MYSELF) ATTEMPTED TO ADJUST IT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, WHICH NEARLY CAUSED A COLLISION. THE VISOR NO LONGER WOULD STAY PUT AT ALL AND NEEDED TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY TO REMOVE THE VISOR IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE CONSIDERED SAFE TO DRIVE, AND I DID NOT WANT TO PUT MYSELF AND OTHERS AT RISK OF GOING INTO ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING UNDER THIS UNSAFE CONDITION. THIS SEEMS TO BE A FLAW BY THE MANUFACTURER. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS CAMRY WHICH IS IN VERY GENTLY-USED CONDITION. *JB

I HAVE A 2007 LECAMRY AND MY WIFE NOTICED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS REAL STICKY I TRIED CLEANING WITH A RAG WITH WATER ALSO NOTICED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS GETTING REAL HAZY I TRIED TO CLEAN THAT EVEN WENT TO A GLASS COMPANY. I CALLED LOU FUSZ IN ST. LOUIS, MO. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THEM ON 8-30-2013 THEY CALLED THE MANUFACTURE UP TOYOTA THEY SAID IT WAS PAST THE WARRANTY SHE CALLED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY UP THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED. LOU FUSZ CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE DASH WAS CAUSING THE HAZINESS ON THE WINDSHIELD THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD REPLACE THE DASH FOR $1600.THIS DASH IS DANGEROUS IT IS PUTTING A CHEMICAL CALLED PLASTICSIZES OUT IT BUBBLES AND THE DASH IS COMMING OFF THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT TOYOTA CAN GET BY WITH THIS CAN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BE BROUGHT AGAINST TOYOTA THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF CARS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY DOING THIS CAN YOU CONTACT ME ON THIS THANK YOU [XXXX] [XXXX] [XXXX] [XXXX] *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND NOW IS CRACKED OPEN. DASHBOARD COVER MATERIAL FROM WINDSHIELD TO RADIO AND ACROSS FULL WIDTH OF VEHICLE IS VERY SICKLY, CANNOT BE CLEANED WITHOUT LEAVING CLOTH LINT EMBEDDED IN THE DASH COVER MATERIAL, IS STRUCTURALLY UNSTABLE AND TOO SOFT TO TOUCH WITHOUT LEAVING DAMAGE AND WILL EASILY PEAL OFF UNDER FINGERNAILS. LIGHT REFLECTION FROM DASHBOARD IS GREATLY INCREASED AND AT TIMES DISTRACTING. NO OTHER INTERIOR PARTS IE PLASTIC, METAL, LEATHER, CARPET OR CLOTH ARE AFFECTED. *JS

MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT IS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND I AM BUMPING ME HEAD ON IT. IT IS VERY IRRITATING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL HAD BECOME ABNORMALLY LOOSE AND A NOISE EMITTED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,800.

ON MARCH 5 AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FDR IN NY I STARTED TO SMELL SMOKE AND NOTICED THAT A FIRE WAS EMERGING FROM THE COMPARTMENT IN FRONT OF THE SHIFT CONTROL AREA. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND JUMPED OUT IN TIME BEFORE MY CAR WAS FULLY INFLAMED; THE ENTIRE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE BURNED DOWN. AN INSPECTION OF MY CARE REVEALED THAT IT DID NOT COME FROM THE ENGINE (AS IT IS STILL INTACT) AND I BELIEVE IT WAS ELECTRICAL IN NATURE (AS I HAD AN EVENT IN 2010 WHERE THE POWER CONTROL FOR THE WINDOW CAUGHT ON FIRE AND MELTED-THIS CAUSED THE WINDOWS TO NOT WORK, WHICH IS MY REASON IN REPORTING THE NON FUNCTIONING WINDOWS TO TOYOTA). I HAD MY CAR SERVICED BY TOYOTA A WEEK PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT AND I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN AND NOW AFTER THE FACT (I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA MYSELF) THERE IS NO REVIEW FOR THE SAFETY/POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL FIRES/MALFUNCTIONS FOR THESE CARS. ALTHOUGH I ESCAPED PHYSICALLY UNHARMED, THE TRAGEDY OF THE EVENT IS STILL FRESH IN MY MIND AND IT IS MY HOPE THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE LOOKED INTO. *TR

ABOUT TWO DAYS AGO, I WAS DRIVING AND MY INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED DOING SOME CRAZY STUFF. THE BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON, AND MY TEMP GAUGE, RPM, AND ODOMETER STARTED FLUCTUATING. THIS LASTED ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS THE FIRST TIME. SINCE THEN IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY EVERY TIME I'M DRIVING AND IT LASTS A COUPLE OF MINUTES EACH TIME. I WAS ALREADY SCHEDULED TO GO IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE TODAY, SO I HAD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MY LOCAL DEALER CHECK OUT THIS PROBLEM ALSO. THE TECH FIRST QUOTED A $53 DIAGNOSTIC FEE, BUT CALLED ME BACK A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER TO SAY THAT THEY NEED A MORE EXTENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC PROCESS, WHICH WOULD INCREASE THE FEE TO $99. SHE ALSO SAID THAT I NEEDED BRAKES AND A BATTERY ($202 FRONT BRAKES+$118 BATTERY+$89 BRAKE FLUID REPLACE). ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, SHE CALLED ME BACK AND GAVE ME THE DEVASTATING NEWS THAT MY ABS ACTUATOR/SKID CONTROL COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE COST WAS $1686 FOR THE PART, AND THE TOTAL WITH LABOR WOULD BE $2035. THIS DID NOT INCLUDE MY $40 OIL CHANGE, BATTERY, AND BREAKS. NEVERTHELESS, I OPTED TO WAIT ON THE $2000 ABS ISSUE. I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR AND WAS ACTUALLY CHARGED $148 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE. ESSENTIALLY, I PAID $199 FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM THAT THEY ALREADY KNEW TO BE A COMMON CAMRY PROBLEM. I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED A TOYOTA IF I HAD KNOWN THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. ALSO THIS IS A TOYOTA SPECIFIC PART, SO IT'S NOT LIKE YOU CAN SHOP AROUND FOR A DEAL. I HAVE TO PAY THIS RIDIC

MY VEHICLE IS CONSUMING OIL IN EXTREME QUANTITIES, A QUART EVERY 800-1000 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS MANUFACTURERS DEFECTIVE PISTONS AND PISTON RINGS AND TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT DENIES TO TAKE ACTION. I HAVE TO FILL MY ENGINE WITH THE OIL EVERY 2800 MILES OR SO OR TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE. MY ENGINE, I'M AFRAID WILL DEFECT IN DRIVING CAUSING HARM TO ME AND OTHERS AROUND ME BECAUSE I DON'T FOLLOW MY MILEAGE AND ONLY WAY I KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM MY OIL LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF WHEN I'M BRAKING THAT'S THE SIGN THAT I HAVE TO GET OIL CHANGE. NOW ITS NOT ENVIRONMENTAL EITHER EVEN THOUGH TOYOTA CLAIMS THAT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IS COMING OUT THEIR EARS ALL THE TIME WHEN THAT MUCH OIL IS BURNED INTO THE AIR AND FUNNY THING IS IT DOESN'T EVEN SMOKE IN TAIL PIPE AND VEHICLE PASSES EVERY EMISSION TEST. HOW??? I DON'T KNOW. ALL I KNOW IS THAT MY ENGINE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN AND DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFAULTED PARTS BECAUSE I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE GUY THAT OTHER YEAR TOYOTAS HAVE DIFFERENT PISTONS AND PISTON RINGS AND I ASSUME IT WOULD BE RIGHT FOR OUR CARS TO RECEIVE THOSE BECAUSE WE PAID FULL AMOUNT FOR THESE CARS AND WE SHOULDN'T RECEIVE SHORT END OF THE STICK. I ASK YOU TO PUSH THIS FOR A RECALL BECAUSE TOYOTA OWNS THIS TO ITS OWNERS. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR FAILED.

THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WAS CLEANED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,516 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,371.

VSC WARNING ON DASH, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND GENERAL WARNING (TRIANGLE WITH EXCLAMATION). ACCELERATION SEEMED STIFFER THAN NORMAL, THOUGHT SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. AT DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. HAVE REPORTED NEED TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER ($872.09 TOTAL) AND POSSIBLY THE ENGINE COMPUTER (TRANS. + ENGINE = 2233.35 TOTAL). 2007 CAMRY XLE, APPROX. 64,000 MI. PURCHASED 10/18/2006. THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST THREE RECALLS FOR THE 2007 CAMRY LINE. SHOULD THESE REPAIRS BE COVERED BY TOYOTA? SHOULD I HAVE THE CAR EVALUATED BY TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST, SUCH AS AAMCO? *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND I PURCHASED A EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2007 THAT WARRANTY EXPIRED AUGUST 1, 2013 A FEW DAYS AFTER IT HAD EXPIRED MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP! I DO NOT HANG ANYTHING ON IT LIKE CD HOLDER OR ANYTHING. IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY BECAUSE IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE THE ROAD WHEN I AM DRIVING AND I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED SENSE THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2007 CAMRY WITH THIS SAME SITUATION AND IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM FOR MANY CAMRY OWNERS. THE VISOR SOMETIMES EVEN HITS ME IN THE HEAD WHEN I TRY TO GET OUT OF MY CAR. I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR FROM DAY ONE AND I AM NOT VERY HAPPY THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET. SEEMS LIKE TOYOTA DOES NOT CARE FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. ALSO ON TOP OF THE VISOR MY SHOCK COIL BROKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHICH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DID COVER SENSE IT HAPPENED BEFORE AUGUST 1ST BUT NOW THE STRUT IS LEAKING OIL ON THAT SAME SIDE, I BROUGHT IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN JUNE 2013 AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WON'T REPLACE IT BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH IT IS LEAKING OIL IT IS NOT 100% BROKEN YET AND TOLD ME THE WARRANTY WONT COVER IT UNTIL IT COMPLETELY BLOWS! I TOLD THEM I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD THAT I HAVE TO THINK OF THIS SAFETY ALONG WITH MINE AND WAS SHOCKED THAT EVEN THOUGH IT IS LEAKING OIL (WHICH IS NOT GOOD) CAUSE AT ANY MOMENT WHILE DRIVING IT CAN BUST THAT TOYOTA DOESN'T RECOGNIZE IT, ITS NOT LIKE IT WILL HEAL ON ITS OWN SO I FEEL IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED UNDER MY
