I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. IN SEPTEMBER 2010, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF A MECHANICAL DEFECT AND/OR FAILURE OF SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE. THE ACCIDENT WAS NOT THE RESULT OF HUMAN ERROR. UPON MY APPROACHING A PARKING SPACE, THE CAR LUNGED AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE CAR CRASHED INTO A BUILDING, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE. THERE WERE NO PERSONAL INJURIES. I FILED A CLAIM WITH TOYOTA. I REQUESTED INSPECTIONS OF THE VEHICLE FROM NOT ONLY TOYOTA, BUT ALSO FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY. TOYOTA DENIED RESPONSIBILITY BASED ON THE ERRONEOUS INFORMATION FROM THE COMPUTER "BLACK BOX." THE BODY WORK ON MY CAR WAS JUST COMPLETED. I NO LONGER HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE SAFETY OF MY CAR. I FEAR THAT THE VEHICLE COULD MALFUNCTION AGAIN, RESULTING IN A WORSE SCENARIO THAN THE ACCIDENT IN SEPTEMBER 2010. BEFORE MORE FATALITIES, INJURIES OR PROPERTY DAMAGES OCCUR AS THE RESULT OF MECHANICAL DEFECTS AND/OR FAILURE OF SYSTEMS IN TOYOTA VEHICLES, THE NHTSA SHOULD THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST TOYOTA VEHICLES THAT HAVE A HISTORY OF PROBLEMS. TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT MY CAR BE REPLACED BY TOYOTA. I DON'T DOUBT HOW TOYOTA WILL RESPOND TO MY REQUEST. THEY WILL HOLD TRUE IN THEIR DENIAL OF RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 - PERSISTENT VIBRATION STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEED - NOT BEING RESOLVED BY A SERIES OF ATTEMPTS SUCH AS BALANCING, TIRE REPLACEMENT, ALIGNMENT, BRAKE COMPONENT REPLACEMENT. THE STEERING VIBRATION WAS PART OF A TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETIN BUT DESPITE THE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THE VIBRATION WAS NEVER ELIMINATED. LATELY, VEHICLE ALSO SHOWING VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING - ALSO AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BRAKE REPAIRED AT DEALER WITHOUT RESULTS. TOYOTA DEALER HAS PROVIDED NO FURTHER RESOLUTION OPTION. THE CONCERN IS IF THIS IS A RESULT OF THE ORIGINAL STEERING VIBRATION WITH THE VEHICLE SHOWING FURTHER DETERIORATION. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY 2.4L AT 68,000 MILES - WATER PUMP FAILURE.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT A MONTH AGO HAD TWO VISORS FELL DOWN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPRINGS THAT HOLD THEM SNAPPED OFF THE SAME DAY. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL DOWN AND IS BEING HELD UP BY TAPE. I WENT IN TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID SORRY IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY YOU HAVE TO PAY $240.00 FOR TWO VISORS. I AM FURIOUS AS I HAVE BEEN READING TO MANY COMPLAINTS THAT THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY RECALL AS IT OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. NO ONE IS RECALLING THESE AS A ROAD HAZARD. IT CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH IF FALLEN WHILE DRIVING AND OBSTRUCTS VIEW LIKE IT DID ME. I HAD TO HOLD IT UP WITH MY FINGERS WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IF IT WERE MAYBE 2-6 I CAN SEE DOING IT YOURSELF BUT HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS I SEE ON LINE AND FILED MY QUESTION IS WHY HAVE YOU WAITED SO LONG TO FIND TOYOTA AT FAULT FOR FAULTY PARTS? HOW IS IT THAT HUNDREDS OF THESE FOR THE 2007 HAVE BROKE AROUND THE SAME TIME FRAME ALL OUT OF WARRANTY BUT ENOUGH TO CAUSE GREAT CONCERN.... THIS TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED AT TOYOTAS EXPENSE. I AM OUTRAGED THAT YOU HAVE NOT MADE THIS A RECALL FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FILED. WE TRUST IN YOU TO PROTECT US WHY HAVE YOU NOT DONE THIS FOR US? *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. S10 APPROPRIATE HANDLING- LETTER FROM REGARDING TOYOTA PROBLEMS*TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS PUSHED INTO A HIGHWAY GUARDRAIL BY ANOTHER MOTORIST WHO WAS RUSHING TO A LIGHT. DURING THE ACCIDENT, THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

A FEW WEEKS AGO I STARTED TO NOTICE A "CLUNKING NOISE" WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE THE CAR IS STANDING STILL OR MOVING SLOWLY, LIKE BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY OR TURNING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY, PARKING LOT, ETC.... I FINALLY HAD TIME TO LOOK IT UP ONLINE AND SEE IF I COULD FIND ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND OF COURSE I DID. APPARENTLY IT DATES BACK TO THE '04-'06 CAMRY AND A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. THERE WAS A TSB ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE EARLIER ISSUE, BUT NONE SO FAR FOR THE '07. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND FROM READING THE FORUMS IT APPEARS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE FRONT AND REAR STRUTS. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 51,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, THE SUN VISOR SLIPPED DOWN INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TRY TO "FOLD/ SNAP" IT BACK IN PLACE. THEN I NOTICED THAT THE ARM PIECE, THAT INSERTS INTO THE ACTUAL SUN VISOR WAS BROKEN/ CRACKED. I HAD TO DRIVE HOLDING THE SUN VISOR OUT OF MY VISION WITH ONE HAND AND THE OTHER HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN I WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT PART, I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS THE THIRD PERSON IN TWO WEEKS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT ON THE SAME MODEL CAR. THE PART COULD NOT BE ORDERED FROM THE "DISTRIBUTION PLACE" BECAUSE THE SUN VISORS WERE ON BACK ORDER. I HAD TO REMOVE MY HANGING SUN VISOR BECAUSE IT WAS A RISK AND I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE BACK ORDER. IN ADDITION, I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF MY CAR AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE THERE WAS NO INCIDENT IN WHICH THE SUN VISOR WAS DAMAGED. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY FROM LEITH TOYOTA IN RALEIGH NC, DECEMBER OF 2006. LAST WEEK MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FELL WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK. WITHIN A FEW DAYS THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR POPPED OUT OF PLACE AND NOW IT WILL NOT STAY UP. I TALKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAY THAT IT WILL COST $200.00 OR MORE TO REPLACE BOTH. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND TO MY SURPRISE I FOUND THAT MANY MORE TOYOTA CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THE VISOR CLIPS ARE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE PART(S) IN THESE VISORS. EVEN THE TECHNICIAN ADMITTED THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO REPAIR HUNDREDS OF THESE. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT I CAN COUNT ON TOYOTA TO FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR ME AT NO CHARGE, BUT I AM GETTING NO WHERE WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL TOYOTA CUSTOMER FOR THE PAST 20 OR MORE YEARS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR EVEN DEATH. *TR

SUN VISOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. IT HANGS DOWN ABOUT 1-2 INCHES FROM IT'S ORIGINAL "UP" POSITION. AFTER READING ON LINE ABOUT TOYOTA NOT DOING ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE SITUATION WITH OTHER PEOPLE, I DID NOT TAKE IT TO MY DEALER THINKING I WOULD BE TOLD IT WAS MY CAR AND MY PROBLEM (NOT NECESSARILY IN THOSE TERMS). *TR

DRIVER'S SUNVISOR SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING FELL DOWN HINDERING MY VISION WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD TO PUSH IT UP IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID CRASHING INTO A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS UNABLE TO KEEP THE VISOR UP AND HAD TO DRIVE HOME HOLDING IT WITH ONE OF MY HANDS. I REMOVED THE VISOR FOR SAFETY AND HAVE NOT REPLACED IT YET. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND HAVE DETERMINED THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THE VISOR COMING DOWN AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GO BACK UP AND STAY IN PLACE. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 CAMRY HYBRID FROM AUTOLAND (SPRINGFIELD, NJ) IN 2007, VIN [XXX]. RECENTLY I WAS IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT (AUGUST 25, 2010) IN WHICH I HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT SPEED OF THE IMPACT BUT I WOULD ESTIMATE IT WAS 25-35 MPH. THE RESULTING IMPACT RESULTED IN A TOTAL WRECK OF THE CAR (PHOTOS AVAILABLE). HOWEVER, THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY DESPITE THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT BEING SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH TO TOTAL THE CAR. I WAS INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT, WITH INJURIES WHICH INCLUDE A CUT ON THE FOREHEAD FROM HITTING THE WINDSHIELD AND NECK SORENESS. THE CAR WAS RECENTLY SERVICED BY TOYOTA, SO TEH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE OPERATED PROPERLY. RECORDS AVAILABLE FROM THE DEALER. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN MY CAR. NO ONE ELSE WAS INJURED. MY INSURANCE COMPANY SUGGESTED I CONTACT TOYOTA, I HAD A VERY HARD TIME REACHING THEM AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A EMAIL OR WEB BASED WAY OF FILING THESE ISSUES. WHEN I FINALLY SPOLE TO A REPRESENTATIVE, THEY CLAIMED THAT THE ARIBAG FUNCTIONED AS DESIGNED. APPARENTLY THE RATE OF DECELERATION IS FACTORED INTO DECISION TO DEPLOY. I WAS BREAKING FOR ABOUT ONE SECOND WHEN I HIT AND DESPITE MY VELOCITY AT IMPACT ( 25 TO 35 MP) , THE FACT THAT I WAS SLOWING DOWN WAS A DECISION FACTOR NOT TO DEPLOY. I AM AN ENGINEER AND QUITE FRANKLY I AM SURPRISED WITH THIS CRITERION FOR DEPLOYMENT. THE PERSON ON THE PHONE AT TOYOTA COULD NOT ELABORATE FURTHER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I TOOK MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY FOR IT'S 15,000 MILE CHECKUP AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE IGNITION KEY FELL APART WHEN HE TURNED IT IN THE IGNITION. THE KEY USED WAS MY SPARE KEY WHICH I KEEP IN A DRAWER AT HOME. MY MILEAGE AT THE TIME WAS 15,203 MILES. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER WHICH I DID AND THEY CONTACTED TOYOTA BY PHONE AND WAS TOLD THE KEY WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I PAID $386.76 FOR A NEW KEY. THE KEY HAD TO BE DEFECTIVE IN ORDER TO FALL APART THE WAY THAT IT DID. I WROTE TOYOTA EXPLAINING ALL OF THIS AND REQUESTED THAT THEY REIMBURSE ME BUT WAS TOLD "NOT UNDER WARRANTY" THEREFORE THEY CANNOT REIMBURSE ME. I FEEL THAT THIS INCIDENT SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A MOTOR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT WAS INSPECTING THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE OIL WAS LOWER THAN NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE OIL SUB-ASSEMBLY CONTAINER. THE DEALER REPLACED AND SEALED THE OIL SUB-ASSEMBLY CONTAINER YET THE FAILURE DID NOT PERSIST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ACCELERATOR PEDAL). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS CUT AND THE EDGES OF THE PEDAL WERE JAGGED AND ROUGH. THE DEALER ALSO REMOVED A PORTION OF THE CARPET AND INSULATION. THE CONTACT DID NOT BELIEVE THE VEHICLE WAS ANY SAFER THAN PRIOR TO THE REPAIR.

THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY PERFORMED THE WORK AS LISTED ON THE RECALL NOTICE AND THAT IT WAS A SUFFICIENT REPAIR. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

THE BRAKES SHAKES EXCESSIVELY WHEN BRAKING AT SPEEDS AROUND 60 - 70 MPH. SHAKING TRANSMITS TO STEERING WHEEL IF FRONT ROTORS WARP AND SOMETIMES SHAKE BODY OF CAR IF REAR BRAKES WARP. SHAVING ROTORS FIXES THE PROBLEM EVERYTIME. OCCURS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 30,000 MILES. THESE ROTORS WARP VERY EASILY. THEY ARE TOO THIN OR OF BI-METALLIC CONSTRUCTION WHICH CAN CAUSE DIFFERENTIAL GROWTH OF METAL, THUS WARPING ROTORS UNDER HIGH HEAT LOADS. BESIDES KEEP CUTTING INTO YOUR EXPENSIVE ROTORS, ONLY SOLUTION IS TO GO AFTERMARKET. NEW TOYOTA ROTORS WILL BE MADE THE SAME AND WILL WARP THE SAME. HIGH PERFORMANCE ROTORS WILL WORK EVEN BETTER. BUT HOLES AND SLOTS WILL BE HARD TO SHAVE LOCALLY. IT IS USUALLY FRONT ROTORS THAT WARP FIRST, BUT IT CAN BE BACK ROTORS AT TIMES ALSO. EVERYTIME YOU SHAVE THEM, THEY GET THINNER AND WARP EASIER THE NEXT TIME (LESS HEAT DISSIPATION CAPABILITY). ONLY PERMANENT FIX IS AFTERMARKET ROTORS. I AM AN EX-MECHANIC AND CURRENT MECHANICAL ENGINEER. *TR

PASSENGER SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP. IT DROOPS AND OBSCURE VISIBILITY. I HAVE TO EITHER FOLD IT TO LEFT WINDOW SIDE OR HOLD IT WHILE DRIVING. *TR

2007 CAMRY SE ~37000 MILES. SUN VISORS HAVE FAILED TO HOLD IN POSITION. THIS RESULTS IN THE VISORS NOT STAYING UP AND COMING ALL THE WAY DOWN FACING THE GROUND BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW (AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER'S VIEW). WHEN LOOKING IN BLIND SPOTS, THE DRIVER HITS HIS/HER HEAD ON THE VISOR. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AS THE DRIVERS VISION IS IMPAIRED AND UNABLE TO VIEW OUT THE WINDSHIELD. TOYOTA UNWILLING TO CORRECT THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE 6YR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY AND ARE ONLY WANTING TO WARRANT PARTS FOR 36,000 MILES. UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT, IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE THIS IS CORRECTED. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TOYOTA CAMRY VISORS ONLINE. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. INITIALLY WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED ON THE BRAKE LIGHT, AND ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON ALONG WITH THE TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER WOULD BEGIN RACING WHILE IN PARK. AT THIS TIME THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM WOULD GO DOWN TO "C" THIS HAPPENED HALF A DOZEN TIMES AND IT WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA DEALERS. I SPENT 618.00 FOR REPAIRS AND I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS FIXED. TOYOTA DEALER ALSO STATED I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEMS. AFTER SPENDING MONEY FOR REPAIRS WITHIN 24 HOURS THE PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN. NOW THIS TIME NOT ONLY WHEN YOU WERE IN PARK WOULD THE LIGHTS COME ON THE BEGAN COMING ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. SO I COULD NOT TELL WHAT SPEEDS I WAS DOING AND UNABLE TO TELL IF I HAD BRAKES WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON. SO IT WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND THIS TIME THEY WANT TO REPLACE SKID CONTROL ECU/ACTUATOR PER TECH LINE AND WANT ME TO SPEND OVER 2000.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A BILL OF SALE THAT STATES PROBLEM WAS FIXED JUST DAYS BEFORE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH UPHILL, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

WOULD YOU PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM I'M HAVING WITH TOYOTA PLEASE? AT LEASE TAKE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE FOR A TEST DRIVE AND ROLL DOWN THE BACK WINDOWS AND DRIVE 40 ' 70MPH. HERE'S MY STORY. TOYOTA SAYS TOO BAD: I WAS TOLD THE DEFINING NOISE WITH THE BACK WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN IS NORMAL. WITHOUT EXAGGERATING, AT 70 MILES AN HOUR, IT WOULD POP AN EAR DRUM. AT 45 MILES AN HOUR YOUR EARS CLOSE UP LIKE YOU'RE ON A JET PLANE AND BECOME PAINFUL. TOYOTA DID TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE WITH ME AND THEY SAY THE NOISE IS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR. I WOULD SUGGEST YOU TAKE A TEST DRIVE OF A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND THEN HAVE ALL OF THEM RECALLED FOR THE DAMAGE IT MAY CAUSE YOUR EAR DRUM IF YOU FEEL NECESSARY. THINK OF THE CHILDREN THAT CANNOT SAY HELP WHEN IN THE BACK SEAT. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY - WHILE SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC FROM 30 MPH, AS I REACHED APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH THE ENGINE "REVVED UP" ......I HAD TO BRAKE HARDER WHILE THE CAR WAS BUCKING AS IF IT WANTED TO SPEED AHEAD ....AFTER 5 SECONDS, ENGINE SLOWED ABRUPTLY SO THAT WE THOUGHT IT HAD STALLED BUT IT WAS JUST BACK TO THE USUAL IDLING SPEED. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON JUNE 16, 2010 RIGHT AFTER THIS INCIDENT. THEY EXAMINED THE CAR, FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND CHARGED US $96.00. THIS "REVVING UP" HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT NOT AS SEVERE AS THIS OCCURRENCE. SINCE THE JUNE 16 INCIDENT, IT HAS HAPPENED SIX OTHER TIMES SEVERAL OF WHICH WERE SEVERE. THE MOST RECENT SEVERE INCIDENT WAS ON AUGUST 21, 2010. WE HAVE NOTIFIED THE TOYOTA CORPORATION BUT AS OF TODAY, 8/25/2010, THEY HAVE NOT ADVISED US AS TO WHAT TO DO. WE ARE NOT DRIVING THE CAR UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED AND THE CAR IS FOUND TO BE SAFE. *TR

I HAD A WEIRD SYSTEM LOCKUP (MAY BE ABS LOCKUP)/SHUTDOWN ISSUE WHEN DRIVING THE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY (RECALL SERVICE DONE ALREADY). I WAS DRIVING THE CAR SLOWLY AND TOOK EXIT (20-30 MPH SPEED) FROM NJ-TURNPIKE AND HEARD A STRANGE SOUND AND THE CAR RAN LOOSE SO I APPLIED A LITTLE BRAKE AS IT WAS ON A TURN (EXIT). THE CAR SUDDENLY LOCKED UP AND SPUN AROUND AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. AND THE DRIVER SIDE BACK TIRE HIT ON A CURB AND HALTED IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I CALLED UP COPS AND DIDN'T SWITCH OFF THE IGNITION. THEN COPS HELPED ME TO TAKE THE CAR THRU THE EXIT AND IT WAS RUNNING NORMALLY AFTER THAT. BUT I AM HEARING SOME OOZING SOUND WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING 40-50 MPH AND > 60 MPH SPEED FROM THERE ON. I WENT TO DEALER/SERVICE AND THEY ARE NOT GIVING ANY CLUE, AND SAID NO ISSUES WITH DIAGNOSIS. I'VE GIVEN THE CAR AGAIN TODAY AS THEY WERE NOT HAVING THE TIME TO DO THE TEST DRIVE YESTERDAY TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE STRANGE SOUND IS. THE INCIDENT WAS SCARY AND COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL/CRASH. IT WAS VERY LUCKY TO ESCAPE WITHOUT ANY INJURY OR CAR DAMAGES AS THERE WAS NO CAR/TRUCK BEHIND ME FOR FEW SECONDS. MY WIFE WAS SHOCKED TO SEE IT HAPPENED AS WE WERE TRAVELLING WITH OUR 18 MONTHS OLD KID. *TR

MY 2007 CAMRY SMELLS HORRIBLY LIKE MOLD AND MILDEW. THE MOLD IS IN THE A/C BUT I CAN'T GET SUNNYSIDE TOYOTA TO REPLACE THE A/C AND CLEAN THE VENTS. WHAT DO I DO? I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN MARCH 2006. I FINALLY FOUND A DOCTOR WHO COULD DIAGNOSE WHAT WAS WRONG. THE MOLD IN THE A/C OF MY TOYOTA HAS CAUSED MY LEG MUSCLES TO BE WEAKEN SO I HAVE ALOT OF PAIN WALKING AND A LARGE BUMP ON MY LEG. TOYOTA HAS BEEN NICE BUT WON'T CLEAN OUT MY A/C OR VENTS AND WON'T ADMIT THIS IS A VERY VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2007 CAMRY. I AM HIGH SENSITIVE TO MOLD AND IT HAS CAUSED ALOT OF SICK DAYS, DOCTORS APPTS, AND PAIN. I WOULD LIKE THEM TO REPLACE THE A/C AND I AM SURE THERE WILL FIND THE MOLD. *TR
