2007 Toyota Camry complaints

I had a rollover accident in my Camry on 5/13/2021. My brakes locked up which sent me into a spin and then eventually flipping over an embankment. Only one of my airbags deployed and it was the passenger door airbag. The rest of the airbags did not go off. Yes the vehicle is still available for inspection. My safety was put at risk because of the brake malfunction and subsequently because of the airbags not deploying in the manner they are aupoosed to. I rolled the vehicle I'm sure the manner in which h I wrecked would have caused all airbags to deploy. No I never seen a brake or a airbag light on my dashboard. No one else has inspected the vehicle components other than an insurance claims rep to determine my vehicle is a total loss. I'm unsure on who I could have look at it without compromising the integrity of the findings. The brakes however were worked on by jd byrider a week and a half before the accident. They changed my rotors.

There was a previous recall on this vehicle for the dash melting and becoming sticky. I learned of this recall after purchasing it and would appreciate it if the recall was still honored. At least if half the expences covered for the manufacturer mistake.

SECONDARY WARRANTY... DISCUSSED WITH A SERVICE ADVISOR PRIOR TO THE "2015 WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT". I WAS TOLD NO RECALL, NO LIABILITY. BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT A RECALL TOYOTA MOTOR CORP IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE STICKY DASH RESULTING FROM HEAT OF SUMMER AND WINTER HEATING WHICH CAUSES EYE, THROAT, LUNG IRRITATION, CLOUDING GLARE OF WINDSHIELD AND EYEGLASSES. THE CLOCK MOUNTED ON THE DASH HAS A CLOUD OVER THE PLASTIC COVER MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO READ AS WELL AS PLASTIC COVER OVER DOME LIGHT. AUG 9 2019, I COMMUNICATED VIA EMAIL WITH FRED ANDERSON TOYOTA JEFF DEMEYER | SERVICE DIRECTOR 803.796.6650 [email protected] REGARDING STICKY MELTING DASHBOARD OF MY APPROX. 57,000 MI 2007 CAMRY. HIS REPLY " TOYOTA MOTORS NORTH AMERICA WILL NOT ALLOW A DEALER TO PERFORM ANY WARRANTY EXTENSIONS AFTER THEY HAVE EXPIRED. MY ADVISE WOULD BE TO CALL TOYOTA MOTORS AT (800)331-4331 AND START A CASE SEEKING REPLACEMENT OF THE DASH. IF APPROVED, THEY WILL NOTIFY US WITH AN AUTHORIZATION # AND WE CAN PROCEED WITH THE REPLACEMENT" AUG 10 2019, SPOKE WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE REP (SUSAN) @ TOYOTA MOTORS AT (800)331-4331 REGARDING DASH REPLACEMENT APPROVAL. SERVICE REQUEST DENIED!! OF COURSE THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF MY EVER DISCUSSING THIS MATTER WITH AN ADVISOR PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY NOTIFICATION. TO PARAPHRASE THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP "TO PROVIDE AN EXCEPTION FOR ONE CUSTOMER WOULD MEAN THE EXCEPTION TO BE PROVIDED TO ALL CUSTOMERS", WE HAVE PARAMETERS IN PLACE WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW REPAIR BEYO

MELTING DASHBOARD CAUSING VISIBILITY PROBLEM WITH REFLECTION IN WINDSHIELD

THE CAMRY STARTED REVVING UP TO 1500 RPM AT STOP LIGHTS OR WHEN PULLING INTO PARKING SPOTS ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS, LOCAL DEALER COULD NOT FIND ISSUE AFTER HAVING CAR FOR A MONTH. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR SAVED CODES, I JUST NOTICE THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE DROP WHILE ITS DOING IT SO ITS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. IT HAPPENS EVERY OTHER DAY USUALLY WHEN WARM OUT. I AM TOO SCARED TO HAVE MY WIFE DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANYMORE AND CANNOT JUSTIFY SELLING. HOPEFULLY TOYOTA WILL HELP FIGURE THIS OUT. DEALER REPLACED FUEL PUMP BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. ALSO HAS HARD STARTING ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK, WILL ALWAYS START ON THE THIRD TRY IF NOT IMMEDIATELY.

AROUND 1,200 MILES, I HAVE TO ADD 1 QUART OF ENGINE OIL. DASH BOARD IS MELT AND STICK

MELTED AND STICKY DASHBOARD SIGNIFICANT GLARE THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR

MY CAR 2007 CAMRY LE BURNS OIL TOO MUCH. THERE'S NO OIL LEAKAGE ON THE MOTOR OR GROUND, AND IT DOESN'T SMOKE. I'VE CHANGED THE OIL A MONTH AGO, BUT THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON. HOW CAN IT PASS A SMOG CHECK, AND I'M SCARED MY CAR WILL OVERHEAT DUE TO THE ENGINE BURNS OIL MORE THAN A QUART IN 1000 MILES

VSC CHECK SYSTEM IS ON AT ALL TIMES AND MY CAR DOESN'T START AT ALL.

CAR HAS ABC LIGHT ON VSC SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT, HARD BREAK, BREAK STOP WORKING NOISE SOUND. REPLACED IN 2014 AND NOW DEFECTIVE AGAIN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING AN ABNORMAL AMOUNT OF ENGINE OIL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO OIL LEAKS FOUND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE OIL WAS TOPPED OFF AND CHANGED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN WAS REQUIRED WITH 3,000 MILES. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF AN UNKNOWN ENGINE FAILURE WHICH CAUSED AN EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER NOR A DEALER WERE NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 166,000.

THE AUTO WAS ORIGINALLY KEPT YEAR ROUND IN MINNESOTA. WE HAVE A PLACE IN ALAMO TX 2 YEARS AGO WE DROVE THE CAMRY DOWN TO TEXAS AND FLEW BACK TO MINNESOTA. WE LEFT THE CAR IN A GARAGE. THE FALL OF 2020 IS WHEN WE DISCOVERED WE HAD A STICKY DASH. WE CALLED TOYOTA IN PHARR TX THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT THE TIME HAD EXPIRED FOR US TO GET IT FIXED UNDER THE RECALL ABOUT 2 YEARS AGE. BECAUSE THE CAMRY WAS IN MN FOR THE MAJORITY OF ITS LIFE, THE PROBLEM WASN'T DISCOVERED UNTIL THE FALL OF 2020, 2 YEARS AFTER THE REBATE EXPIRED. THE TECHNITION AT PHARR TOYOTA SAYS THAT HEAT AND HUMIDITY CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THUS THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY IN TEXAS FOR 2 YEARS BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO LIGHT 2 YEARS AFTER THE REBATE EXPIRED. THE DASH IS STICKY AND ITS A SHINY REFLECTIVE SURFACE THAT RELECTS LIGHT, HAMPERING VISABILITY WHICH IS DANGEROUS. WE REQUEST TOYOTA FIX OUR DASH.

LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE TOO DIM TO SEE AT NIGHT.

AT MOTION CAR START TO MAKE A NOISE AND THE ABS AND VCS LIGHTS APPEARED. THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR STOPPED. IT HAPPENS A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE IS IN MOTION.

BRAKES GAVE OUT WHILE ON FREEWAY. EXTREMELY LIMITED CAPABILITY TO BREAK IT TOOK SEVERAL SECONDS FOR CAR TO STOP.

AS SOON AS I DROVE THIS CAR OFF THE LOT, THE "TIRE BALANCE" LIGHT CAME ON. THE TIRES WERE LOW SO I PUT AIR IN THEM AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. THE FRONT BUMPER SKIRT SCRAPES ON EVERY DIP IN THE ROAD IT SEEMS, SOUNDING HORRIBLE. THEN, IT GOT CAUGHT ON A PARKING STOP WHICH LOOSENED THE SKIRT SO IT NOW HANGS EVEN LOWER AND SCRAPES BOTTOM OVER EVERY CRACK IN THE ROAD.

DASH IS CRACKED, STICKY, AND MELTS IN THE HEAT. MAKES THE DASH SURFACE SHINY & REFLECTIVE - HARD TO SEE IN SUNNY CONDITIONS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURERS' DEFECT DUE TO CHEAP PLASTIC BEING USED.

ABS LIGHT IS ON, SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING AND CAR WILL STOP RUNNING WHILE BEING DRIVEN. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY.

DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN THE UPRIGHT STOWED POSITION. IT DROOPS DOWN AND OBSTRUCTS VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING.

HAD ACTUATOR ON 2007 CAMRY HYBRID REPLACED AT 82,000 MILES AGAIN AT 127,000 MILES AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AT 154,000 MILES AND TOYOTA WILL NOT ASSIST WITH THE $1600.00 THE DEALER WANTS TO REPLACED THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART FROM THE FACTORY.

MELTING DASHBOARD.TOYOTA WAS ORDERED BY COURT TO REPLACE AND THEY DID BUT NOW MELTING AGAIN WHICH MEANS COURT ORDER NOT REPLIED WITH AS PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. TOYOTA WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR MELTING AGAIN ISSUE. THIS IS NOT ONLY HORRIBLE BUT A SAFETY ISSUE AS VISABILITY IS HAMPERED. NEED YOU TO ADVISE TOYOTA THEY MUST COMPLY WITH COURT ORDER SINCE MELTING AGAIN MEANS NOT COMPLIED WITH PREVIOUSLY

DRIVER SIDE VISOR FLAPS DOWN TO FOREHEAD LEVEL WHEN STATIONARY. FLAPS DOWN POINTING DOWN WHEN IN MOTION GOING OVER BUMP. VISOR DOES NOT STAY TUCKED IN ITS STOW AWAY POSITION. CAUSED INJURY TO RIGHT TEMPLE GETTING INTO THE CAR. CAUSED FOREHEAD INJURY AT A SUDDEN STOP. DEALT WE REFUSED TO REPLACE OR REPAIR. TOYOTA CLAIMS THE THE RECALL ENDED IN 2018 SO THE PART IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR REPLACEMENT.

MELTING DASHBOARD WHICH COURT ORDERED TOYOTA TO REPAIR AS RULED MFG DEFECT. TOYOTA REPLACED AND NOW MELTING AGAIN AND TOYOTA WAS ORDERED TO AGAIN REPLACE AS RULED THAT BECAUSE MELTING AGAIN ORIG ORDER NEVER COMPLIED WITH.TOYOTA WILL NOT. THIS IS NOT ONLY HORRIBLE BUT A SAFETY ISSUE AS MELTING IN YOUR HANDS AND CAUSING VISABILITY PROBLEMS.

CAR CONTINUES TO SLIP AND REV UP DURING MANY UP-SHIFTS OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN. AFTER SOME TIME THAT IT HAS WARM ENOUGH IT WILL STOP DOING IT, BUT IT ALWAYS SLIPS AND REVS UP BETWEEN THIRD AND FOURTH SHIFT. ITS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR FEW YEARS NOW, BUT NO ONE HAD SHOWED UP WITH A RIGHT SOLUTION.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING/ STICKY. IT'S A BLINDING HAZARD DURING THE DAYTIME ON A SUNNY DAY!

ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS NOT FIRM. IT DENTED VERY EASILY. THIS YEAR, I DID NOT DRIVE MUCH, BUT WHEN I DID, THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING AND SHINY, REFLECTING IN THE WINDSHIELD, MAKING VISIBILITY DANGEROUSLY INSUFFICIENT WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM IS MUCH WORSE ON SUNNY DAYS. DASHBOARD CAN NOT BE CLEANED, SINCE IT IS GOOEY. PRECISE DATE IS HARD TO SAY, BECAUSE OF COVID RESTRICTIONS AND CAUTIONS.

TRANSMISSION FAILS AFTER DRIVING IN REVERSE. GEARS CAN BE CHANGED WITH THE LEVER BUT TRANSMISSION DOESN'T ENGAGE THE GEARS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF AND NO OTHER INDICATORS ARE PRESENT.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM SCHOOL MY MOTOR THREW A ROD DUE TO LACK OF OIL. I HAD NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER BEFORE THIS HAPPENING. NOT TO MENTION JUST GOT MY OIL CHANGED 1 MONTH PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING

MY CAR HAS BEEN DRIVING NORMALLY. I KEEP UP WITH MAINTENANCE. I TURNED ON THE CAR AND STARTED DRIVING LIKE NORMAL. NO LIGHTS WERE ON. AS I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON. IT HAS NOT TURNED OFF SINCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD MELTED AND EXPERIENCED CRACKING AND SEPARATION. THE CONTACTED INDICATED THAT AFTER A TEN-YEAR-OLD CHILD TOUCHED THE MELTING DASHBOARD, RESIDUE FROM THE DASHBOARD WAS PRESENT ON THE CHILD'S HAND. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH CAME TO A RED LIGHT. SUDDENLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY SOFT AND DIFFICULT- STOPPING ABILITY WITH GREAT PRESSURE APPLIED AND LONG DISTANCE TO STOP- BUT ABLE TO STOP. THEN A LOUD BANG AND THE PEDAL WENT TO NORMAL. VSC CODE APPEARED IN MIDDLE OF DISPLAY AND BRAKE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON.

I HAVE PROBLEM FOR REAR SEAT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE FROM INSIDE IS NOT WORKING AT ALL

WELL WHEN I DRIVE IT LOSES POWER AND ALSO BUNS A LOT OF OIL AND GAS AND LATELY IT BEEN SHAKING A LOT WHEN I DRIVE IT I MADE A TUNAP TO IT BUT IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM

BRAKE ACULATOR MALFUNCTION DRIVING ON HIGHWAY BRAKE WOULDN'T STOP

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND IT GETS WORST EVERYDAY

THERE IS A NOISE FROM SOMETHING LOOSE THAT I HAD CHECKED OUT A COUPLE TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. IT COMES FROM THE BACK END OF CAR NEAR TRUCK AREA AND SOUNDS LIKE A LOOSE MUFFLER OR A KNOCKING/VIBRATING MANIFOLD WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPS OR A ROUGH SURFACE. THE NOISE WASN'T AS NOTICEABLE WHEN I GOT IT IN 2010, BUT HAS BECOME MORE NOTICEABLE OVER THE YEARS. THE MAINTENANCE AND CAR IS WELL CARED FOR.

THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR IS ALWAYS ON, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS. AFTER HAVING TIRE PRESSURE CHECKED THINGS ARE USUALLY OK FOR A DAY OR TWO AND THEN THEY ARE BACK TO PRESSURE SENSOR ILLUMINATING. THIS IS A VERY COMMON AND KNOWN PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA AND LEXUS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2010 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AS PURCHASED.

ENGINE CONSUMES 3 TO 4 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 500 TO 700 MILES

MELTED DASHBOARD

I GOT IN MY CAR TO GO TO WORK YESTERDAY MORNING AND MY CAR SPEAD UP TO FAST I WASNT ON MY GAS CUZ I LIVE IN A TOWN N HAVE A SHORT DRIVEWAY. SO I GO TO PUT ON MY BREAKS N I COULDN'T STOP ITS LIKE THERE WAS NO BRAKES. SO I LET OFF N SLAMED ON THEM AGAIN BEFOR I HIT THE ROAD N I STOPED BARRLY OUT IN THE ROAD. MY BREAK LIGHT THEN WAS ON. N IT STILL FELT LIKE I HAD NO BRAKES AT THE STOP SIGN. SO I PULLED OVER SHUT MY CAR OFF FOR 10 MINUTE N STARTED TO HEAD TO WORK. NOW MY BRAKES WAS TOUCHY BUT MY BREAK LIGHT WAS OFF. SO I MADE IT TO WORK AND WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR AFTER 7 HOURS IT WAS FINE LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. THERE HAS BEEN OTHER TIMES WHERE I HAVE LEFT WORK N MY CAR SWITCHES FROM BATTER TO GAS N IT SPEEDS UP BUT THIS TIME WAS DIFFERANT N MUCH FASTER IN SUCK A SHORT DISTANCE

MY DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND SHINEY CAUSING A VERY DISTRACTING GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD, MAKING IT VERY HARD TO SEE ON SUNNY DAYS AND AT NIGHT.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY BURNS A LOT OF OIL. IF I WAS TO DRIVE FROM S.C. TO N.Y.C. AFTER DRIVING 600 MILES MY CRANK CASE IS EMPTY I WOULD HAVE TO ADD FIVE QUARTS OF OF TO CONTINUE ON MY JOURNEY. IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES I WOULD DRIVE 1200 MILES AND BURN 2 AND A HALF QUARTS OF OIL.

AT LESS THAN 80,000 MILES THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED. WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT. WE REPLACED THE UNIT, BUT LAST WEEK THE VSC WARNING LIT UP AGAIN. THE ABS SYSTEM HAS FAILED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE NOW WAS 122,226 MILES.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE FIRESTONE TIRES ON VEHICLE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE CAUSES A SHAKE/HOP, WHICH WAS VERY NOTICEABLE AT LOW SPEEDS AND ESCALATES AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. *JS

CAR HAD VSC SYSTEM REPLACED DUE TO RECALL A FEW YEARS AGO. HAVING ISSUES AGAIN WITH VSC SYSTEM LIGHT COMING ON, ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE SPEEDOMETER AND ALL OF THE GAUGES STALLED OUT WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING. THE CAR GAUGES CAME BACK ON AFTER A FEW MINUTES, PRESENTLY THE GAUGES ARE TAKING A LONGER TIME TO COME BACK ON, IN ADDITION WHILE THE GAUGES ARE OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER GOES OFF AS WELL, WHEN ALL THE GAUGES COME BACK ON THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON. WE ARE AFRAID TO TAKE THE CARE OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE WHEN THE GAUGES GO OFF THE CAR IS HARD TO STEER. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME CAR IS DRIVEN.

MY CAR IS BURNING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL WHILE DRIVING.
