2007 Toyota Camry complaints

WHILE MY FIANCEE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREEWAY ONE EVENING IN THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER 2011, THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON. WHEN SHE ARRIVED HOME I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND FOUND THAT IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 3 QUARTS LOW (MAXIMUM CAPACITY IS 4.5 QUARTS). I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT A LOCAL FACILITY, LEXOLOGY, THAT SPECIALIZES IN TOYOTA/LEXUS. THE OWNER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AND TOLD ME IT WAS A KNOWN EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH THE 2AZ-F3 ENGINES. HE SHOWED ME THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (T-SB-0094-11), AND INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO COLLATERAL DAMAGE OF THE VEHICLE IGNITION AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM THAT WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND INCREASE ITS CARBON FOOTPRINT. I SUBSEQUENTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE AN INSPECTION TEST WAS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TSB AND THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM WAS CONFIRMED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND OPENED A CASE NUMBER (1202062104). THERE WERE SEVERAL EXCHANGES BY PHONE AND IN WRITING WITH TOYOTA IN ATTEMPT TO GET TOYOTA TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM. THE EXCHANGES WERE UNSUCCESSFUL AND I FILED A SMALL CLAIMS SUIT (SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA CASE # 13S00672). THE SMALL CLAIMS SUIT WAS ALSO UNSUCCESSFUL AND I AM NOW TAKING ANY AND ALL ACTION WITHIN MY POWER TO BRING THE MATTER TO THE ATTENTION OF OTHERS. I CAN SEE BY OTHER FILED COMPLAINTS THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. PERSONAL IMPACT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DURING THE SUMMER TIME, THE DASHBOARD GOT VERY HOT AND STICKY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE TOUCHED THE DASHBOARD AND PUT A HOLE IN IT WITH HER FINGER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I HAD GOTTEN MY OIL CHANGED AND 2 WEEKS LATER IT WAS 2 QUARTS LOW ON OIL. I TOOK IT BACK TO SEE IF THERE WAS A LEAK AND THEY SAID NO NOTHING WAS WRONG, BUT FROM THAT TIME ON I HAVE HAD TO ADD AT LEAST 2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY TWO WEEKS. I AM AFRAID MY MOTOR WILL BLOW. THE LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON TO SAY IT IS LOW ON OIL, IF I DON'T JUST CHECK I WILL NOT KNOW. I HAVE HEARD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS WITH THE 2007 CAMRY. MY SISTER ALSO HAS A 2008 I BELIEVE IT IS SCION AND SHE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I TAKE IT FOR THE REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND A WEEK AFTER THE OIL IS LOW AND BURNING . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO RUMBLE AS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SHOOK ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE SUSPENSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED NOR WAS THE MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,700. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS DEFECTIVE. IT FLOPS DOWN AND CANNOT GO BACK TO ITS POSITION OF BEING UP. AS A RESULT, VISIBILITY IS AFFECTED WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD SEEMS TO BE DISINTEGRATING. THE AREA ON THE FRONT PART OF THE DASHBOARD (CLOSEST TO THE WINDSHIELD) SEEMS TO BE THE WORSE, ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM IS SPREADING TO THE ENTIRE DASH. IT IS STICKY, TACKY, SHINY AND GOUGES EASILY. THIS PROBLEM IS CREATING A GLARE AND IS DANGEROUS. THE DASH IS BASICALLY MELTING. I WORRY ABOUT THE FUNCTION OF THE AIRBAGS. IS THERE DOCUMENTATION THAT STATES THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAG IS NOT COMPROMISED? WHAT ABOUT THE WINDSHIELD? TOYOTA NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO ELMHURST TOYOTA, IN ELMHURST, IL FOR A ROUTING OIL CHANGE AND A RECALL REMEDY NOTICE FOR THE POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEY PERFORMED THE REMEDY, THE PASSENGER-SIDE REAR WINDOW STOPPED OPERATING. IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO FIND OUT BECAUSE I DO NOT OPERATE THE WINDOWS IN THE WINTER. THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND AS TO HOW THE WINDOW MOTOR MAY BE BURNED OUT OR THE LINKAGE FALLEN OFF. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP. THE SHOP WAS ABLE TO OPERATE THE WINDOW WITHOUT THE MASTER SWITCH IN THE CIRCUIT. THE FAULT WAS ISOLATED TO THE MASTER SWITCH. THE SHOP REPLACED THE SWITCH. TOTAL COST: SWITCH FOR $302, LABOR $180, AND TAX $20 FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF $502. REPORTED THE DAMAGE THROUGH TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER, WHICH QUICKLY SIDED WITH ELMHURST TOYOTA, I.E., THERE IS NO PROOF THE DEALERSHIP DAMAGED THE MASTER SWITCH AND I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION "FASTER." I BELIEVE BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE OCCURRED DURING PERFORMING THE REMEDY MAINTENANCE. I KEPT THE FAILED SWITCH IN CASE SOMEONE WANTS TO PERFORM A POST FAILURE ANALYSIS TO IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PISTON AND RINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 133,000. THE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS BURNING OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,200.

I REAR-ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING AT NO LESS THAN 35MPH. THE IMPACT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH THAT MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS INDICATED THAT THE CAR WILL PROBABLY BE DEEMED TOTALED. MY AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND I SUSTAINED SOFT TISSUE INJURIES TO MY NECK AND SHOULDERS. I REITERATE THAT NO AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE DEPLOYED, IN SPITE OF THE SPEED AND SEVERITY OF THE CRASH. *TR

I WAS SLOWLY PULLING INTO THE PARKING SPACE ON MY RIGHT IN A PRIVATE PARKING LOT. WITH MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE, ALMOST TOTALLY IN THE PARKING SPACE, ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD ON ITS OWN -- WHILE MY STEERING WHEEL WAS IN A VERY SLIGHT RIGHT TURN MOTION THE CAR HIT THE LIGHT POLE TO MY RIGHT OF THE PARKING SPACE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AS IT RESTED ON THE LIGHT POLE. WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE I SHIFTED OUT OF DRIVE, INTO REVERSE, THEN INTO PARK AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF.

I PURCHASED THIS AUTOMOBILE NEW IN 2007. APPROX 2 YEARS AGO THE DASH BOARD STARTED TO MELT. IT IS PRESENTLY VERY SOFT AND STICKY TO THE TOUCH. IF YOU TOUCH IT WITH ANYTHING FIRM LIKE A FINGER OF EDGE OF A SUN VISOR IT LEAVES A PERMANENT MARK. SMALL PIECES ARE COMING OFF THE EDGES OF THE DASH OVER THE NAVIGATION SCREEN. CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN THE GARAGE WHEN AT HOME AND I HAVE ALWAYS USED A SUN VISOR WHEN PARKED AWAY FROM HOME. *TR

ON 4/20/2013 WAS DRIVING I95 FROM PA TO FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY,CT ON THE LAST LEG OF THE TRIP TO FAIRFIELD CARS WERE MERGING ON TO I95 I WAS LOOKING TO MERGE INTO THE LEFT LANE LOOKED IN MY MIRROR THEIR A TRACTOR TRAILER,NEXT I DECIDED TO STAY IN THE LANE I WAS IN,NEXT THING I KNOW THE CAR SPUN AROUND AT LEAST ONCE MAYBE MORE, I WAS LOOKING AT A GUARD RAIL AT ONE POINT,GOT IT UNDER CONTROL,AN THAN WAS GOING STRAIGHT. I SAW A SMOKE OR SOMETHING NEAR THE TIRES AFTER I GOT UNDER CONTROL. I AM NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS TIME. SUNDAY I WENT HAD FOUR NEW TRIES PUT ON AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION,THE ROAD WAY APPEARED DRY BUT IT HAD RAINED FRIDAY NIGHT,WE WERE IN CT AROUND 8:30. *TR

I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING GARAGE WITH THE CAR RUNNING I WAS SPEAKING ON THE PHONE VIA THE VEHICLES BLUETOOTH. UPON ENDING THE CALL I EXITED THE CAR TO ENSURE IT WAS PARKED PROPERLY BETWEEN THE LINES AND CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE WALL IN FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE. I THEN RETRIEVED MY LAPTOP BAG, COAT AND HAT FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE BACKSEAT. I PUT MY COAT ON CLOSED IT UP, PUT ON MY HAT AND EXTENDED THE ARM ON MY LAPTOP BAG. I THEN CLOSED THE BACK DOOR AND TURNED TO RETRIEVE ITEMS FROM THE FRONT SEAT AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. AS I TURNED TO RETURN TO RETURN TO THE FRONT SEAT DOOR THE CAR FLEW OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. AS THE CAR PASSED ME AND THE CAR BESIDE ME THE FRONT DOOR SWUNG COMPLETELY OPEN. I RAN AND CHASED THE CAR FOR FEAR IT MIGHT HIT SOMEONE AND ALSO ASSUMING I DID NOT PLACE THE CAR IN PARK. UPON JUMPING INTO THE MOVING CAR THE FIRST THING THAT HIT ME WAS THE BRIGHT "P" LIT UP ON THE DASH INDICATING THE CAR WAS ALREADY IN PARK. I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND ALSO CONSTANTLY PUSHING THE GEAR UP. FINALLY BOTH MY ACTIONS AND THE CARS ACCELERATION WERE STOPPED BY THE SLAMMING OF THE CAR INTO A CEMENT WALL. WHILE I HAVE NO RECOLLECTION OF THE ACTUAL IMPACT THE VISIBLE SIGNS UPON MY BODY WERE A LARGE RED KNOT OVER MY RIGHT EYE AS WELL AS SCRAPED AND BLOODY KNEES. AFTER FINALLY TURNING THE CAR OFF THE CAR FAILED TO START UP AGAIN. THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED BY MY HUSBAND TO THE CAR MANUFACTURER THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT AND WHILE THEY PROVIDED US WITH A 60 DAY MAXIMUM TIMEFRAME T

THE LEFT REAR SEAT BELT WEBBING IS STARTING TO FRAY ON IT'S EDGE. THIS IS PREVENTING THE BELT FROM ROLLING IN AND OUT OF THE RETRACTOR. *TR

FOR THE PAST 8 MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL TO FIND OUT THAT AT AROUND 1200 MILES THE CAR IS BURNING OIL, 1/2 QUART TO BE EXACT. I THINK IT IS EXTREMELY UNUSUAL FOR A CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILES TO BURN THAT MUCH OIL. SO FAR I REPLACED THE PCV VALVE, THINKING THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT DID NOT WORK. I SEE NO EVIDENCE OF ANY LEAKS FROM OIL PAN OR HEAD GASKET OR OIL CAP. TODAY I HAD THE DEALER REPLACE MY WATER PUMP DUE TO ANTIFREEZE LEAKING FROM IT. I WILL HAVE THE DEALER LOOK INTO THIS BUT I FEEL I WILL GET THE SAME RESPONSE THAT THE OTHERS 07 CAMRY OWNERS ARE GETTING. AT THIS MOMENT I FEEL THERE IS AN ENGINE PROBLEM. I WILL DO MY PART TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM BUT WARRANTY IS GETTING CLOSE TO EXPIRE. JUST LIKE THE OTHER PEOPLE HERE. I THINK TOYOTA IS RUNNING AROUND THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN DRIVING ON THE NO 1 LANE (BY THE CARPOOL LANE), AN SUV CROSSED THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINES AND REAR ENDED MY LEFT SIDE AT APPROXIMATE 40MPH. MY PASSENGERS WERE SHAKEN UP WHILE I WAS TAKEN TO THE ER. I DID NOTICED THAT MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AFTER THE ACCIDENT I DID SOME SEARCHING AND CAME TO FIND OUT THAT AIRBAGS FOR THIS PARTICULAR MODEL DO NOT DEPLOY!!! NOT TO MENTIONED THAT PRIOR TO THIS FINDING, I HAD TAKEN MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR AN ACCELERATOR ISSUE. ALSO PENDING IS THE SUN VISOR RECALL AS WELL. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE STALLING. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE LAST TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED, IT WOULD NOT RE-START AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER BLAMED THE CONSUMER FOR HAVING THE VEHICLE TUNED-UP AT A SERVICE STATION, WHERE THEY MAY HAVE USED GREEN ANTI-FREEZE FLUID, INSTEAD OF PINK ANTI-FREEZE THAT TOYOTA USED. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED GREEN ANTI-FREEZE WOULD CORRODE THE TANK. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED A RE-BUILT ENGINE WOULD COST $ 7287.66. THE CONSUMER AGREED TO THE PRICE AND FINALLY PICKED THE VEHICLE UP ON FEBRUARY 11, 2013. THE NEXT DAY, WHEN THE CONSUMER STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WAS LEAKING FLUIDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THEY TIGHTENED UP SOME LOOSE AREAS AND THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE CONSUMER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ONLY WAY SHE COULD STOP THE VEHICLE WAS BY TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,700. *TR

I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR STATE INSPECTION AND WAS TOLD MY FRONT STRUTS ARE LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN THE LEAKING STARTED, BUT A STRUT SHOULDN'T BE LEAKING WITH THAT FEW MILES ON IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WHEN THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STRUTS WERE LEAKING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE MILEAGE WAS 49,000. *TR

I DRIVE A 2007 CAMRY SE WHICH HAS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR STRUT LEAKAGE FROM WHAT INFO I AM GETTING FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE YET TOYOTA CLAIMS THAT IT IS "NORMAL" FOR A STRUT TO LEAK. I HAVEN'T HAD THAT EXPLANATION FROM ANY OTHER CAR MANUFACTURER I'VE CALLED TO SEE IF THAT IS NORMAL FOR THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS LUDICROUS. THESE HAVE TO BE SOME OF THE WORST BUILD TOYOTA VEHICLES IN THE COMPANY'S HISTORY. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS OUT OF MY 2007 CAMRY FOR OVER ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF NOW. PROBABLY AFTER 2-3 MONTHS OF GETTING MY OIL CHANGED, I HAVE HAVING TO PUT MORE OIL IN IT BETWEEN OIL CHANGING. I HAVE BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND AN AUTOMECHANIC SHOP IN WHICH NO ONE HAS SEEN ANY OIL LEAKS. WHAT I HAVE NOTICED WHEN MY OIL LIGHT COMES ON, IT IS HARDER FOR ME TO STOP MY VEHICLE. WHEN I CHECK MY OIL, IT'S ALMOST NOTHING IN THERE. I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS AND THIS MAY BE SOMETHING THAT TOYOTA NEED TO LOOK IN TO IMMEDIATELY. I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH MY 05 CAMRY AND IF THERE IS NO OIL LEAK, THERE SHOULDN'T BE A REASON I HAVE TO PUT OIL IN MY CAR IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGING! *TR

THERE IS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION FOR THIS VEHICLE. I GOT AN OIL AND FILTER CHANGE ON 2/9/13 BECAUSE THE LOW OIL LIGHT WAS FLASHING. I DROVE MY CAR BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND HOME AS NORMAL WHICH IS ABOUT 15 MILES EACH WAY. MY OIL LIGHT IS BACK ON INDICATING LOW OIL AND THE DIPSTICK ALSO INDICATES LOW OIL. TODAY IS 3/4/13. IT HAS NOT EVEN BEEN 3000 MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW IF THE ENGINE WILL FAIL AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET INDICATING OTHER OWNERS ARE ALSO HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT WITH THE CAR. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH TOYOTA. IT IS NOT SAFE TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE AND NOT KNOW AT ANY TIME THAT YOUR ENGINE COULD BE RUNNING ON LOW/NO OIL. *TR

MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 BURNS OIL EXCESSIVELY. WHEN I FIRST DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM IT WAS BECAUSE THE OIL LIGHT FLASHED ON, AND THEN BACK OFF. BEING ON THE SAFE SIDE, I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL TO MAKE SURE THE LIGHT COMING ON BRIEFLY WAS NOT A FLUKE. TO MY SURPRISE, MY ENGINE WAS NEARLY BONE DRY. IF I HADN'T CHECKED THE LEVEL, THE ENGINE COULD EASILY HAVE SEIZED. I BROUGHT IT TO MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, MAGIC TOYOTA OF EDMONDS, WA, WHO COMPLETED AN "OIL CONSUMPTION CHECK" AND INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR'S BURNING OF OIL IS WITHIN ACCEPTABLE LIMITS. A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, I CHECKED MY OIL LEVEL AGAIN. I HAD ONLY PUT ABOUT 2900 MILES ON IT SINCE ITS LAST OIL CHANGE AND, ONCE AGAIN, MY DIPSTICK SHOWED THE OIL LEVEL TO BE BELOW THE BOTTOM DOT WHICH INDICATES THE OIL IS DANGEROUSLY LOW. I AGAIN BROUGHT THE CAR TO MAGIC TOYOTA WHERE THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT I DIDN'T PROPERLY READ THE DIPSTICK AND THAT THEIR TECHNICIAN FOUND THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS ONLY 1/2 OF A QUART BELOW FULL. THEY MADE A MARK WITH A PEN ON A DRAWING OF THE DIPSTICK TO SHOW ME WHERE THE OIL LEVEL HAD BEEN. THIS WAS ENTIRELY UNTRUE AND FRAUDULENT! I BELIEVE TOYOTA IS COVERING UP AN OIL BURNING PROBLEM IN THE 2007 CAMRY. PLEASE HELP! *TR

I OWN CAMRY SE 2007. DASHBOARD OF THE CAR IS STARTING TO MELT, SURFACE IS VERY STICKY, SHINY AND WHEN TOUCHED WITH FINGER IT IS COMING OFF LIKE A GLUE. WHILE DRIVING THE SURFACE IS SO SHINY IT CREATES VERY BRIGHT GLARE FROM SUN LIGHT, SOMETIMES IT BLINDS DRIVER'S ROAD VISIBILITY CREATING A POTENTIAL ROAD HAZARD DASHBOARD SURFACE HAS TURNED INTO A VERY SOFT MATERIAL AND IT CAN BE EASILY SCRAPED OFF TO EXPOSE THE UNDERLYING INSULATION. *TR

MY ENGINE HAS A DEFECT. IT IS BURNING OIL. I BURNED 2 QUARTS, ALTHOUGH I HAVE SERVICED THE CAR REGULAR WITH SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE INTERVAL.I WENT TO DEALERSHIP, BEV SMITH TOYOTA IN FORT PIERCE, FLORIDA ON FEBUARY 02, 2013. THEY SAID THE VEHICLE ENGINE LACKED 2 QUARTS OF OIL, WHICH THEY ADDED. MY CONTACT ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 02, 2013 WAS JAMES BADILLO WHO IS THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS MANAGER AT THE FACILITY ADVISED ME SINCE THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL, PISTON RINGS WILL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. THERE IS A DEFECT IN ONE OR MORE COMPONENT OF THE ENGINE WHICH IS CAUSING OIL LEAK INTERNALLY THAT TOYOTA SHOULD FIND THE CAUSE AND PAY FOR THE REPAIR. PLEASE MAKE THEM ISSUE A RECALL/COVER COST OF NECESSARY REPAIRS. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE, THERE ARE MANY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY OWNERS WHO HAVE DEFECTIVE ENGINE PER MY RESEARCH ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE OF BURNING OIL. I HAVE FOLLOWED RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE ON THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE LIFETIME OF MY OWNERSHIP OF THIS CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW ON AUGUST 07, 2007 FROM BEV SMITH TOYOTA. I HAVE DONE ALL THE OIL CHANGES AT RECOMMENDED INTERVALS. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO COVER REPAIR BILL BECAUSE THEY SAID CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

ON OR ABOUT SEPTEMBER, 2011, AND WITHIN WARRANTY, MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO IRA TOYOTA. I HAD TWO QUARTS OF OIL REMAINING IN CRANKCASE. THEY CONDUCTED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, ONE OF THREE, AND TOLD ME THAT THE LOSS OF ONE HALF QUART PER 1,000 MILES WAS WITHIN SPECS. RUBBISH. I THEN COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, USA, INC. THEY SENT ME THEIR ENGINEER WHO STATED THAT TOYOTA WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY PERFORMED ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, OF COURSE. NEVER SAW ENGINEER AGAIN. BEFORE ENGINEER, IRA TOYOTA OFFERED TO FIX IT. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS A $1,500 JOB AND IF I GAVE THEM $150.00, THEY WOULD FIX IT. THEY "REPAIRED AUTO" BUT IT REMAINED THE SAME. AND THEY KEPT THE $150. THEY KEPT LYING TO ME FOR A YEAR. THEN, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR MY COMPLAINT. NOW, MY AUTO USES ONE QUART OF OIL PER 600 MILES. TOYOTA IS A FRAUD. THEY HAVE SO MANY COMPLAINTS THAT THEY CANNOT FINANCIALLY TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THEM. THEIR VEHICLES ARE LEMONS AND THEIR WARRANTIES ARE WORTHLESS. (SHORT VERSION) *TR

WAS DRIVING AND PUT VISOR DOWN ON DRIVER SIDE AND IT SNAPPED AND HAD TO HOLD IT UP WHILE DRIVING. WAS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING SO RESEARCHED HOW TO TAKE IT COMPLETELY OFF UNTIL I COULD AFFORD TO REPLACE IT. LESS THAN A WEEK LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT REALLY UPSETS ME BECAUSE I HAVE SENSITIVE EYES AND DRIVES TOWARDS THE SUN EVERY MORNING WHEN IT'S THE WORST AND IS VERY DANGEROUS NOT ONLY FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR BUT, ALSO THE PEOPLE I CAN'T SEE. I'M LIKE MOST PEOPLE WHO LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK AND COMING UP WITH OVER 200 DOLLARS TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BUILT TO LAST IN THE FIRST PLACE REALLY MAKES ME WANT TO NOT OWN A TOYOTA. *TR

WATER LEAKING IN THE HEADLINER, CAUSING THE FOOT WELLS TO BE WET. THE DRAIN LINE FROM THE MOON ROOF "GUTTER" DISCONNECTED FROM THE DRAIN LINE PAN AND WATER DRAINS AND ACCUMULATES IN THE FOOT WELL. DURING COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS THERE IS AN EXTREME CONDENSATION BUILT-UP ON THE INTERIOR OF WINDOWS. USE OF HEATER WILL GENERATE HIGH HUMIDITY IN THE CABIN AND FOGGING OF THE WINDOW. THE FLUID IN THE CABIN ALONG WITH THE HEATING AND COOLING AT NIGHT HAS CREATED A PROBLEM CYCLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN THE EARLY MORNING, ALL OF A SUDDEN ENGINE STARTED MAKING SOME WIRED NOISE AND WITHIN NEXT 2 MIN VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF FREEWAY (SOMEHOW MANAGED TO PULL IT OUT TO SHOULDER) COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL INJURY, THEN TOWED THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, THEY FOUND THAT ENGINE SIZED BECAUSE OF WATERPUMP BREAKDOWN,(IT DIDN'T GIVE ME NO TIME TO TAKE THAT INTO DEALER ) HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN FOR SUCH A LOW MILES AND ABT 5.5 YEARS OLD AND WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE, WAS COMPLAINED ABT THIS TO TOYOTA BUT DIDN'T GET A SATISFACTORY ANSWERS. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW OPENED OR CLOSED SLOWLY AND MADE NOISE AT THE BEGINNING. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE WINDOW WOULDN'T OPEN OR CLOSE. I CALLED TOYOTA COMPANY WHO SAID IT'S NOT IN THE RECALL LIST AND THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THE MANNER WAS VERY BAD AND IGNORANT. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS PERFORMED WELL TO THIS POINT BUT THE OTHER DAY THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT FLASHED A COUPLE TIMES. A CHECK SHOWED THE LEVEL COMPLETELY OFF THE STICK AND TOOK 2.5 QUARTS TO FILL. ENGINE OIL HAD JUST BEEN CHANGED 2500 MILES PREVIOUS TO THIS. SINCE FILLING TO THE MARK, IT HAS USED AN ADDITIONAL .5 QUARTS IN THE LAST 500 MILES. CAR IS GARAGED WHEN NOT BEING DRIVEN AND DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE LEAKING (NO SPOTS ON GARAGE FLOOR). SOME SOOT IN TAIL PIPE BUT IS NOT SMOKING. I HAVE OWNED ~9 DIFFERENT CARS AND NEVER HAD ONE USE OIL LIKE THIS. INFORMATION ON TOYOTA'S WEB SITE INDICATES THIS IS NORMAL.

OIL SIGN ON DASH WAS LIGHTING UP (ON AND OFF) - CHECKED OIL IN VEHICLE - TOTALLY EMPTY . NO OIL LEAKS EVER ! HAVE NO IDEA WHERE IT WENT . I HAD LAST OIL CHANGE AROUND 3,000 MILES AGO.
