THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. THE INSIDE GRIPS OF THE SUN VISOR HAVE BROKEN APART OR WARPED AND NOW THE VISOR CONTINUES TO DROP DOWN IN FRONT OF THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING FULL VIEW OF THE ROAD WHICH COULD CAUSE A HAZARD. I ACCIDENTALLY RAN A RED STOP LIGHT BECAUSE THE VISOR DROPPED DOWN IN FRONT OF ME. THERE IS NOTHING THAT WILL HOLD THE VISOR IN PLACE UNLESS I PHYSICALLY HOLD IT UP WITH MY HAND UNTIL I REACH MY DESTINATION. AT FIRST, THE SUN VISOR WOULD SQUEAK WHEN OPENING OR CLOSING UNTIL ONE DAY IT JUST WOULD NOT CLOSE BACK. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE'S DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR LAST WEEK START TO DROOP DOWN AND WOULD NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION CAUSING AN OBSTRUCTION OF MY DRIVING VIEW. I HAD TO TURN THE VISOR TO THE SIDE BUT THAT EVENTUALLY STOPPED ROTATING TOO. IT TURNS OUT THE METAL INSERT HAD COME OUT AND WAS NO LONGER PROVIDING ANY TRACTION TO THE VISOR. APPARENTLY THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE WITH TOYOTA CAMRY'S AROUND THAT YEAR'S MODEL. IT WAS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAD TO REMOVE THE VISOR MANUALLY FOR MY OWN SAFETY AND FOUND THAT THE PARTS INSIDE WERE DAMAGED. MY SUSPICION IS THAT IT WAS POORLY CONSTRUCTED SINCE MY 1998 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS HAD NO SUN VISOR ISSUES AFTER 13 YEARS OF WEAR AND TEAR. LUCKILY I NOTICED PROBLEM AND DID NOT START DRIVING IMMEDIATELY. I HAD TO USE MY LEFT ARM TO HOLD THE SUN VISOR UP FOR MY DRIVE BACK HOME. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE AS THIS CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT VISIBILITY ISSUES AND LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND RECALLED BY TOYOTA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

WE BOUGHT A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN OCTOBER 06 AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING LOW OIL LEVELS FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS, THE OIL LEVEL HAS GOTTEN SO LOW THAT THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. WE HAVE BEEN REPORTING THE PROBLEM TO TWO SEPARATE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND THEY'VE ASKED ME TO RETURN THE CAR FOR OIL CHECKS AFTER 1000 MILES, WHICH SHOW A LOST OF OVER A QUART OF OIL. OUR TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN TELLING US THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THE CAMRY TO CONSUME OVER A QUART OF OIL AFTER 1000 TO 3,000 MILES AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM TO FIX. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH FIDELITY AND A SERVICE SPECIALIST BY THE NAME OF [XXX] AT TOYOTA OF ORLANDO BEEN GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND ABOUT GETTING FIDELITY TO GIVE THEM THE GO AHEAD TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. HE SAID THAT HE HAS CALLED FIDELITY A COUPLE OF TIMES TO GET AUTHORIZATION BUT THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN BACK WITH HIM BUT WILL CONTACT US WHEN HE GETS THE OK. IT HAS BEEN OVER TWO WEEKS SINCE HE SAID HE HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET THE GO AHEAD FROM FIDELITY, SO WE DECIDED TO CALL FIDELITY TO FIND OUT WHY THEY WERE DELAYING GIVING THE DEALERSHIP THE GO AHEAD TO FIX THE CAR, SEEING THAT WE HAVE THE PLATINUM PLACE. FIDELITY INFORMED US THAT NO ONE FROM TOYOTA OF ORLANDO HAS EVER CONTACTED THEM AT ANY TIME ABOUT OUR 2007 CAMRY. WE THEN SPOKE WITH A SERVICE MANAGER BY THE NAME OF [XXX] AND HE HAS BEEN GIVING ME THE SAME STORY ABOUT IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR THE CAMRY TO CONSUME OVER A QUART OF OIL BETWEEN 1000 TO 3000 MILES, SO THERE IS NOTHING TO FIX.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE HAS A VERY LOUD SCREECH FROM THE REAR BRAKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE *TGW THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THERE WAS TRASH ON THE BRAKE SHOE AND IT WOULD EVENTUALLY WEAR OFF. THE CONSUMER STATED IT HAS BEEN 4 1/2 YEARS AND THE NOISE IS STILL PRESENT. *JB

THIS IS NOT AN INCIDENT. IT'S AN ONGOING PROBLEM. ALL FOUR WHEELS BEGAN TO RUST WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 20,000 MILES ON IT. THE RUST IS OCCURRING ON THE SECTIONS OF THE WHEELS THAT AREN'T COVERED BY THE HUB CAP, IN OTHER WORDS THE EXPOSED-TO-THE- ELEMENTS PART OF THE WHEEL. RECENTLY IT WAS RECOMMENDED TO ME THAT I REPLACE ALL 4 WHEELS BECAUSE THE RUST, AS IT'S GOTTEN STEADILY WORSE, WILL LIKELY AFFECT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE WHEELS AND COULD CREATE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING.

THE STEEL WHEELS OF OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ARE RUSTING. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN IN CALIFORNIA SINCE IT WAS NEW. IN OUR FAMILY WE OWN A 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH STEEL WHEELS AND THEY ARE NOT RUSTING. THIS VEHICLE WAS EVEN ON THE EAST COAST FOR SIX WINTERS AND ITS WHEELS ARE STILL NOT RUSTING. WE ALSO OWN A 1992 TOYOTA PICKUP WITH STEEL WHEELS AND THEY ARE NOT RUSTING EITHER EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS 19 YEARS OLD. TOYOTA'S QUALITY STANDARDS ARE FAILING. THE CONCERN IS THAT THESE STEEL WHEELS HAVE WELD SPOTS BETWEEN THE PART WHICH IS BOLTED TO THE HUB AND THE PART THAT HAS THE TIRE INSTALLED ON IT. WHEN THE RUST GETS TO THE WELD SPOTS, THE WELD SPOTS ARE GOING TO WEAKEN AND WILL FAIL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE CONTROL AND INJURE ITS OCCUPANTS AND OTHER VEHICLES/PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. A COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED WITH TOYOTA IN JANUARY 2011 AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. A BBB COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED AND AGAIN THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. SINCE WE WERE HAVING THESE ISSUES WITH OUR TOYOTA, I HAVE BEEN A LOT MORE AWARE OF OTHER VEHICLES' WHEELS AROUND ME AND NOTICED A LOT OF THE NEWER TOYOTAS WITH RUSTED STEEL WHEELS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT TO OUR TOYOTA VEHICLE. THE QUALITY OF TOYOTA'S WHEELS HAS DECREASED OVER THE YEARS AND THIS IS EVIDENT JUST FROM OUR FAMILY FLEET OF VEHICLES BUILT BETWEEN 1992 AND 2007. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND BE ABLE TO HELP US ARRIVE AT A RESOLUTION.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR IS DEFECTIVE IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY AND THE VISOR SUDDENLY FELL FROM ITS UP-AND-LOCKED POSITION. THE FIRST TIME IT FELL, I PUSHED THE VISOR BACK UP INTO ITS UP POSITION AND IT MANAGED TO STAY LOCK, ALBEIT NOT AS STURDY. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE INABILITY OF THE SUNVISOR TO STAY UP INTENSIFIED TO THE POINT WHERE THE THING WOULD NOT STAY UP AT ALL. I CURRENTLY HAVE THE SUNVISOR TIED UP SO IT DOES NOT OBSTRUCT MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING. I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT FOR THE VISOR. HOWEVER, TOYOTA CONSIDERS THE SUNVISOR TO BE A "TRIM" ITEM AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE VISOR, EVEN THOUGH I AM COVERED UNDER THEIR PLATINUM EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD EXHIBIT AN UNUSUAL NOISE.

DROVE SLOWLY AT AROUND 25MPH IN A VERY COLD DAY (16 DEGREE). WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR THE BRAKE WAS IN A LOCKED POSITION (CAN'T PRESSED IT DOWN) AND MY CAR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT AND THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE I COULD DO.

I HIT A BMW. I WAS CHANGING THE STATION IN MY CAR AND WHEN I LOOKED UP I WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE BMW TO SUCCESSFULLY STOP BEFORE HITTING THEM. AS A RESULT, BECAUSE THE BMW WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED, A DOMINO EFFECT OCCURRED IN THAT THE TWO CARS IN FRONT OF THE BMW WERE ALSO HIT. THE DAMAGE TO THE BMW, THE CAR I DIRECTLY HIT, WAS A BACK BUMPER THAT WAS SLIGHTLY DE-ATTACHED FROM THE CAR (MODERATE DAMAGE) AND A THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED. THE AIRBAG IN THE BMW DEPLOYED. MY AIRBAG DID NOT. I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN 2008 WHERE I WAS REAR-ENDED. AGAIN, AT THE RATE I WAS HIT, MY CAR'S AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS THE SECOND TOYOTA THAT I HAVE BOUGHT WHERE THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WORRY THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY CAR'S SENSORS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT HAD BECOME ABNORMALLY HAZY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE REPAIR KIT THAT WOULD BE UTILIZED ON HIS VEHICLE WOULD REQUIRE REPAIRING BOTH HEADLIGHTS AS OPPOSED TO JUST THE ONE FAULTY HEADLIGHT. BOTH HEADLIGHTS WERE BUFFED AND SANDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE EXCESSIVELY BRIGHT AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SANDED AND BUFFED THE HEADLIGHTS A SECOND TIME AND RECOATED THEM WITH PLASTIC BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT WAS THEN REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED THAT HE DID NOT FEEL SECURE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A NEW SET OF HEADLIGHTS TO ARRIVE FOR FURTHER REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,630 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 4,639. UPDATED 03/02/11 *BF UPDATED 08/31/11

I TOOK MY 2007 CAMRY FOR 25,000 (AT 23,000) MILES SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES. I QUESTIONED IT AND WAS TOLD 'YOU HAVE TO TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY, TOO' I TAKE MY CAR IN CONSISTENTLY DO PRETTY MUCH WHAT IS SUGGESTED TO ME AS PART OF PREVENTIVE CARE AND I HAVE ALL THE BILLS TO PROVE IT, MENTIONED THIS TO THE SERVICE PERSON, AND TALKED TO MANAGER AND WAS TOLD THAT YES I NEEDED THE NEW TIRES. THIS WAS "NORMAL" WEAR AND TEAR. I SURE WAS NOT READY FOR SUCH A LARGE EXPENSE. AS I WAS RESEARCHING FOR WHAT KIND OF TIRES TO BUY, I FOUND THAT MANY 2007 CAMRY OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM! ALSO I FOUND THAT THERE IS A LEAKAGE PROBLEM WITH THE BRIDGESTONE TIRES, AND CHECKING MY SERVICE BILLS, I SEE THAT I HAD TAKEN MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE PRESSURE LIGHTS CHECKED, BECAUSE I WOULD ADD AIR TO MY TIRES AND FEW WEEKS AFTER I WOULD HAVE THE LIGHT COME ON AGAIN. ALL THIS IS DOCUMENTED AND NOW I AM FURIOUS THAT I WAS NOT TOLD OF THIS PROBLEM. THANKFULLY, I AM NOT ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING ANT 55+ MILES AN HOUR, AS I WORK NEAR MY HOME. I HATE TO THINK OF THE OUTCOME. WHEN I HAVE TAKEN MY SON BACK TO SCHOOL, IS WHEN THE PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD COME ON MOST OFTEN. NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE! SINCE I TOOK THE CAR IN, THE PRESSURE LIGHTS HAVE NOT COME ON, I NOW WONDER IF THAT OPTION HAS BEEN DISABLED? OBVIOUSLY, I HAVE NOT YET CHANGED THE TIRES, AS IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO BUY ALL FOUR AT THE SAME TIME. I WAS HOPPING THE DEALER WOULD GIVE ME A BREAK. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR DROPPED DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY AND WOULDN'T STAY UP UNLESS SUPPORTED. VERY SCARY TO HAVE THE SUN VISOR DROP DOWN AND BLOCK ONES VISION UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IF IT OCCURS AT THE WRONG TIME. AN INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. RECALL IS IN ORDER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS REALLY HURT OR KILLED.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT SMELLED A MILDEW ODOR WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING AND HEAT WERE ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE ODOR.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,000. UPDATED 3/28/11 *CN THE EVAPORATOR CORE WAS REPLACED UPDATED 04/27/11

2007 CAMRY INDIGO BLUE PAINT SCRATCHES. UNDER EACH ENTRY DOOR HANDLE THERE ARE TONS OF SCRATCHES, AS IF YOU HAVE MANY RINGS ON YOUR FINGERS SCRATCHING THE PAINT. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2007 AND THIS ISSUE PRESENTED ITSELF FROM THE BEGINNING. IT'S LIKE THE TOP LAYER OF PAINT WILL NOT STAY ON BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THE PRIMER LAYER RIGHT UNDER THE BLUE PAINT SCRATCHES. *TR

THE AIRBAG COVER ON THE WINDSHIELD POST WAS INSTALLED WITH A DEFECTIVE/AND OR DAMAGED CLIP. THE AIRBAG COVER WAS LOOSE AND COULD HAVE BEEN SNAGGED BY A PASSENGER,ETC. AND COME OFF AT ANY TIME. THE TOYOTA DEALER MAINTAINED THAT THESE COVERS WERE JUST COSMETIC AND THAT I COULD DRIVE WITHOUT COVERS AND THE CAR WOULD STILL BE COMPLETELY SAFE. I DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT THAT WAY SO I PAID THE DEALER $ 71.78 FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE THEIR DEFECTIVE PART. I WANT TO KNOW WHO AT TOYOTA WOULD WANT TO DRIVE A CAR ON OUR FREEWAYS WITH A COMPROMISED AIR BAG SYSTEM IN THAT CONDITION? *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTO CAMRY CE. IN DECEMBER 0F 2010 I HAD NEW TIRES INSTALLED AFTER 42,000 MILES AND THE FIRESTONE DEALER STATED THAT ALL FOUR STRUTS WERE LEAKING AND THAT REPLCEMENT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $1575.19. I SUGGEST THAT THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. *TR

2007 CAMRY XLE WITH ONLY 23,000 MILES NOW HAS POWER STEERING RETURN LINE LEAK. IT APPEARS THAT THE COROLLA IS CURRENTLY BEING INVESTED FOR POWER STEERING PROBLEMS OF SOME SORT. MANY PARTS USED TO BUILD THESE CARS ARE PROVING TO BE OF INFERIOR QUALITY. THIS IS A $250 REPAIR. WHY ISN'T TOYOTA BEING REQUIRED TO MAKE ALL REPAIRS FOR NO CHARGE TO THEIR RECALLED VEHICLES WHETHER IT IS A KNOWN FACTOR AT THE TIME OR NOT. NOW THEY ARE GIVING SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON NEW VEHICLES TO ENCOURAGE SALES. WHAT ABOUT ALL OF US OWNERS WHO NOW HAVE VEHICLES NOT WORTH THE MONEY SPENT ON THEM.

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE CAR STARTED CREEPING FORWARD. ON THE 23RD OF NOVEMBER I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY (I LIVE ON KIND A BUSY ROAD) THE SAME THING HAPPENED THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND IT CREEPED INTO THE ROAD. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC COMING ON MY SIDE OF THE ROAD. I THEN PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN INTO DRIVE AND PULLED BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY AS CARS STARTED COMING. I WAS SCARED AS I HAD NO CONTROL AT STOPPING THE CAR. AFTER TALKING TO MY STEP-DAUGHTER SHE SAID IT HAD HAPPENED TO HER TWICE. I TOOK IT IN AND THEY RAN THE COMPUTER TEST AND SAID EVERYTHING SHOWED IT WAS FINE. THEY TOLD ME IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO CALL SO THEY CAN DOCUMENT THIS. I DID HAVE THAT RECALL DONE ALSO. THIS JUST ISN'T RIGHT AND I FEAR SOMETHING WORSE WILL HAPPEN.
