2007 Toyota Camry complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE COULD SMELL EXHAUST SMOKE EMITTING INTO THE VEHICLE FROM THE VENTS; HE NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN HE HAD TURNED THE VEHICLE ON RECIRCULATE MODE. HE WOULD THEN SEE THAT THE RECIRCULATE MODE WAS OFF. HE NOTICED THE PROBLEM ON A DAILY BASIS. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALER TOLD HIM THAT THE HUMIDITY IN THE VEHICLE WAS THE CAUSE FOR THE PROBLEM. HE WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO REPAIR AS IT WAS NORMAL. HE HAD NOT SPOKEN WITH THE MANUFACTURER TO-DATE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 33,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,000. UPDATED 003/30/10 *BF UPDATED 08/06/10

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY AND ATTEMPTING STOP, THE BRAKE FAILED. THE VEHICLE HIT A TRUCKS REAR BUMPER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER GAVE THE VEHICLE BACK AND DID NOT INFORM THE CONTACT OF THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE VEHICLE.. THE MANUFACTURER TOOK A REPORT NUMBER 1001143929. THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 33,000.

I JUST HAVE TO PUT THIS COMPLAINT IN BECAUSE TOYOTA BLEW ME OFF AND MADE ME PAY $186.00 TO REPAIR THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE THAT JUST STARTED FALLING ON ME ONE DAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING LONG DISTANCE. I TOLD THEM THAT THERE IS NO WAY THAT A 2007 SUN VISOR ON ANY CAR SHOULD BE FALLING DOWN AND HITTING THE DIVER THEY TOLD ME IT DIDN'T MATTER THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TO FIX THIS DANGER I HAD TO PAY. I COULDN'T DRIVE AROUND WITH MY VISOR FALLING DOWN IN MY FACE AS I WAS TRYING TO DRIVE SO I PAID THE MONEY BUT I LET THEM KNOW THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A 2007 CAMRY. I HAVE PURCHASED TOYOTA'S SINCE 1982 AND AFTER THE WAY I WAS TREATED I WILL NOT BE BACK TO BUY A TOYOTA. MARK MY WORD THOUGH THE NEXT PROBLEM YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT ARE THE VISORS FALLING DOWN IN THE FACE OF THE DRIVERS. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEBODY IS HURT WHEN IT HAPPENS TO THEM. *TR

ON NOVEMBER 5, 2008 I WAS LEAVING MY SON'S SOCCER PRACTICE AND MY ACCELERATOR BECAME STUCK ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. I HIT A SCHOOL AND WENT THROUGH A 100 FOOT FENCE WHEN MY CAR BECAME ENTANGLED IN THE FENCE AND THE FENCE BECAME CAUGHT UNDERNEATH MY CAR. MY CAR WAS STILL ACCELERATING FULL FORCE AND MY TIRES WERE BURNING RUBBER. I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY SLAM MY STICKSHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND THE CAR STOPPED. TOYOTA WAS CONTACTED SHORTLY AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND SENT SOMEONE OUT TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AT THE BODY SHOP. THEY SENT ME A LETTER STATING THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND EXITING OFF THE INTERSTATE, I ATTEMPTED TO STOP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP BEFORE TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED BUT CAR NEVER CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHICH FORCED ME TO ENTER ONTO THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT REGARD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. LUCKILY THE RIGHT LANE WAS CLEAR AND I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE GARAGE THAT DAY SO THEY COULD WORK ON IT THE NEXT DAY. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $600. THE BRAKE FAILURE HAPPENED WITH NO WARNING. THE ONLY THING I EVER NOTICED PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING WAS THAT SOMETIMES THERE WOULD BE A SWOOSHING SOUND ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. *TR

I LEASE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING UP A HILL. BECAUSE I WAS ON A HILL I GAVE THE CAR A LOT OF GAS. HOWEVER, THE GAS PEDAL SEEMED TO GO FURTHER THAN I INTENDED AND THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND HIT THE BREAKS, WHICH STOPPED THE CAR WITHOUT INCIDENT. I HAD TO TAP THE GAS PEDAL A FEW TIMES TO GET IT TO DISENGAGE. TOYOTA APPLIED THE GAS PEDAL RECALL 'FIX' A FEW DAYS LATER. HOWEVER, I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY HAVE NOT CORRECTLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE GAS PEDAL WENT DOWN FURTHER THAN I PRESSED IT, MEANING THERE MAY BE SOME ELECTRONIC OR OTHER PROBLEM RATHER THAN 'STICKING.' I KNOW YOU HAVE MANY SUCH COMPLAINTS, BUT I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO DETERMINE IF TOYOTA'S REMEDY IS ADEQUATE. THANK YOU. *TR

MY 2007 CAMRY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS DURING THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF OPERATION IN APRIL AND MAY 2007 SURGED OR LUNGED WITHOUT CAUSE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND NO REPAIR, NO INCIDENTS OCCURRED IN THE PAST TWO YEARS. ONE INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN STARTING UP FROM A STOP SIGN BESIDE SCHOOL CHILDREN WAITING AT A BUS STOP. ANOTHER INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I SLOWLY MANEUVERED TO PARK IN A TIGHT SPACE BETWEEN TWO CARS. BOTH DRIVING INSTANCES REQUIRED FINE CONTROL AND VERY LITTLE GAS. BOTH INSTANCES OCCURRED ON COLD MORNINGS, A SHORT DISTANCE AND A SHORT TIME AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE IN THE MORNING. THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY REVVED LOUDLY AND LUNGED FORWARD, I BRAKED HARD, THEN IT SORT OF STALLED AND BECAME UNRESPONSIVE AND LAGGED BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL CONTROL. THESE INCIDENTS WERE SCARY, COULD HAVE CAUSED PERSONAL OR PROPERTY INJURY AND OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY KNOWN CAUSE. THE CAR SEEMED CONFUSED. THE OTHER PREDOMINANT DRIVER OF THE CAR HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. MY CAR IS SUBJECT TO RECALLS. I HAVE REMOVED THE FLOOR MAT BUT NOT TAKEN IT FOR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REPAIR. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS A COMPUTER GLITCH AND NOT THE FLOOR MAT OR THE GAS PEDAL. I RECEIVED A FLOOR MAT RECALL NOTICE EARLY IN OWNERSHIP, ON MY FIRST MAINTENANCE VISIT TO TOYOTA I WAS TOLD THAT MY FLOOR MAT WAS NOT THE DEFECTIVE ONE. SUBSEQUENT LETTERS HAVE SAID TO REMOVE THE MAT AND STATED THAT NO REPAIR IS READY, THEY WILL CONTACT ME. I TRIED TO CALL THE DEALER TWO WEEKS AGO TO ASK ABOUT A REPAIR AFTER NEWS REPORTS AND FURTH

3-4 SECOND DELAY IN RESPONSE TIME WHEN MAKING A FAST LANE CHANGE - ENOUGH TIME TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED ONCE IN HEAVY CITY TRAFFIC AND ONCE IN THE EVENING WHEN THERE WAS LITTLE TRAFFIC. THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED AN ECM CALIBRATION ENHANCEMENT TO CORRECT ANOTHER PROBLEM OF HESITATION WITH THE ACCELERATION & THEN A QUICK SURGE FORWARD. THIS WAS PERFORMED AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT; HOWEVER, IT DID NOT CORRECT MY CURRENT PROBLEM AS THE HESITATION HAPPENED AGAIN (THE 2ND TIME) AFTER THE CALIBRATION. DISCUSSED THIS AT LENGTH WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ECM CALIBRATION WAS THE ONLY "FIX" PROVIDED TO THEM AND THAT SINCE I STILL HAD THE PROBLEM, I WOULD HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL TO NOT PRESS THE ACCELERATOR QUICKLY TO MAKE A FAST GETAWAY AS THE COMPUTER IS NOT ABLE TO PICK UP THE SIGNAL THAT QUICKLY. THEY COULD ONLY SUGGEST THAT I NEVER PRESS THE ACCELERATOR QUICKLY - TRY THAT ONE WHEN YOU HAVE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY FAST. I AM NOT TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHING MORE OF THIS THAN IT IS. THERE ARE SOME MUCH MORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS REPORTED ON THE INTERNET THAN THIS ONE. HOWEVER, IT IS SERIOUS. WHEN YOU CANNOT GET GAS WHEN YOU NEED IT, IT IS SERIOUS. THERE IS APPARENTLY A PROBLEM WITH THEIR ELECTRONICS. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT TODAY. A PICKUP TRUCK BROADSIDED ME. AS SOON AS THE TRUCK HIT ME I HIT THE BRAKES. THE CAMRY DID NOT STOP AND INSTEAD QUICKLY ACCELERATED AND FISH TAILED OUT OF CONTROL. I FINALLY GAINED CONTROL OF THE STEERING BUT ENDED UP THREE LANES ACROSS FROM WHERE I WAS HIT AND INTO A GAS STATION HAVING TO DRIVE BETWEEN THE GAS PUMPS HOPING TO AVOID AN EXPLOSION. I HIT A PARKED CAR AT THE PUMP AND KEPT GOING ABOUT 5 TO 10 MORE FEET AND THE CAR FINALLY JUST STOPPED LIKE NOTHING HAPPEN. I COULD HAVE DIED TODAY! IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON ICE OR LIKE SOMEONE FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. I DO KNOW FOR CERTAINTY I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME ALL THIS WAS HAPPENING. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. ON MANY SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED NOT A SUDDEN ACCELERATION BUT A SUBTLE INCREASE IN SPEED, WHILE ON LEVEL ROAD. THE IMPRESSION I HAD WAS THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS OPERATING WHEN IT WAS NOT EVEN TURNED ON. I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT IT WAS DOING BUT WAS TOLD I MUST HAVE HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED. THEY DID TRY TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM BUT COULD NOT. THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE HAD THE "ACCELERATOR PEDAL FIXED" AS A RESULT OF TOYOTA'S MOST RECENT RECALL. HOWEVER, THE CAR CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY "ACCELERATE". I DO NOT BELIEVE THE PEDAL WAS EVER THE PROBLEM AND IN LIGHT OF THE CURRENT NUMBER OF REPORTED INCIDENTS, I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT TO REPORT THESE INCIDENTS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME AS THE MORE CRITICAL REPORTS AND THAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS STILL UNKNOWN AND THE NATURE OF MY INCIDENT IS PROBABLY HAPPENING TO ALOT OF DRIVERS BUT THEY EITHER DON'T REALIZE IT OR THINK IT IS NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO REPORT. *TR

AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE CURB TO PARK, MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING IN QUAKERTOWN, PA. I PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND STOPPED THE CAR. DAMAGE TO THE BRICK BUILDING WAS EXTENSIVE. PROPERTY DAMAGE AMOUNTED TO $14,500 AND AUTO DAMAGE AT $750. REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE INSTALLED IN THE AUTO. BRICKWORK AND INTERIOR DAMAGE WAS TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS ON GOING ACCELERATION HESITATION PROBLEM. WHEN ACCELERATING CAR DOES NOT RESPOND, RPM RED LINES AT 6K CAR SLOWS DOWN. OTHER TIMES DRIVING AT 40 MPH AND IT SLOWS DOWN, SHIFTS BY ITSELF WITH OUT POS OR NEG ACCELERATION OR BRAKING. *TR

I HAVE 2007 CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH, WHEN I PEDDLED THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR DOES NOT PICK UP/ACCELERATE. THE RPM GOES FROM 2000 TO 4000 RPM, AND AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS OF DELAY CAR PICKS UP. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY, WHILE MERGING ONTO A FREEWAY WHERE THERE IS NO SHOULDER LANE AND YOU HAVE TO MERGE IN REALLY FAST. THE DEALER SAID IT'S A PROBLEM WITH THE SOFTWARE AND THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE IN MY CAR. I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT OCCURS FREQUENTLY IN WINTER. I WENT TO THE DEALER RECENTLY AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION, IT'S JUST THE WAY 2007 MODELS ARE. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY MADE A PIECE OF JUNK IN 2007 AND NOW THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I AM HOPING TO SEE THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE SOON. *TR

I AS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, CAR ACCELERATED - JUMPED A CURB, HITTING A TREE AND BROKE MY NOSE,AND DAMAGED THE WHOLE FRONT OF MY CAR.. ON JUNE 27, 2009 I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AGAIN, CAMRY ACCELERATED HITTING THE SUV IN FRONT OF MY CAR. TOOK IT IN TO PAULY TOYOTA IN CRYSTAL LAKE, IL AND THEY SENT ME AWAY SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY 2007 CAMRY. I ALSO HAD TWO VERY NEAR ACCIDENTS, BUT I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME. I AM DEATHLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL ACCELERATE AGAIN. AND THE DEALER REFUSES TO HELP ME OUT. PLEASE HELP ME! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 80 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 86 MPH. SHE WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THEY COULD NOT MAKE ANY REPAIRS SINCE THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. SHE SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO USE THE AUTOMATIC RESUME ON THE CRUISE CONTROL. SHE ALSO STATED THAT THE COMPUTER HEADBOARD WAS PREVIOUSLY RESET. SHE HAS EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE TWICE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,366. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,271. UPDATED 03/24/10 *BF UPDATED 07/14/10*JB

CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATION. MY TOYOTA CRUISE CONTROL SPEED WILL INCREASE UP TO 3-4 MPH WHEN GOING UP A INCLINE, THIS REQUIRES BRAKING OR RUNNING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. I HAVE USE MANY CRUISE CONTROLS BUT THIS IS THE FIRST ONE THAT HAS EVERY GONE OVER THE ACTUAL SPEED SETTING. ON A FLAT ROAD THE CRUISE CONTROL PERFORM THE WAY IT SHOULD. *TR

WE BOUGHT 2007 CAMRY IN JULY OF 2007. MY WIFE DROVE IT TO WORK AND GOT AN ACCIDENT ON 12/5/07. WHEN SHE EXITED HIGHWAY, SHE USED GAS THEN USED BRAKE TO REDUCE THE SPEED. THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK. THE CAR SPED OUT OF CONTROL AND HIT THE SIDE OF HILL. THE CAR WAS ROLL OVER TO ONE SIDE AND TOTALED. MY WIFE WAS BADLY INJURED AND WAS SENT TO HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM. SHE GOT SOME CUTS IN HER HEAD BY THE BROKEN WINDOW AND SHE HAD TO STAY AT HOME FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE GOING BACK TO WORK.WE BELIEVED SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BRAKE OR GAS PEDAL. AND WHEN THE CAR HIT THE SIDE OF HILL, NONE OF CAR SAFETY AIR BAGS CAME OUT. THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND PAID BY OUR INSURANCE. BUT THIS ACCIDENT GAVE HER A LONG TIME FEAR AND BAD FEELING WHEN SHE PASSED THAT PLACE. WE HOPE WE CAN JOIN THE TOYOTA CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. PLEASE GIVE US SOME SUGGESTIONS. THANKS! *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ON CENTRAL EXPRESS WAY EAST BOUND IN AROUND MOUNTAIN VIEW AND SUNNYVALE (CALIFORNIA) AREA, THE CAR SUDDENLY SPED UP AND DID NOT RESPOND TO BRAKING. I KEPT STEPPING ON THE BRAKE AND FUMBLING WITH SHIFT STICK, AND FINALLY STOPPED AFTER IT BLEW THROUGH 2 RED LIGHTS. LUCKILY, IT WAS SUNDAY EARLY MORNING AND THERE WERE ALMOST NO CARS ON THAT ROAD AND THUS I DIDN'T HIT ANY CARS. THE WEEK NEXT, I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER REPAIR SHOT AT PALO ALTO FOR REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE PEOPLE AT THE DEALER REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE FLOOR MAT AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING TO REPAIR. *TR

FEBRUARY 5, 2010 RE: LEAKY STRUTS ON TOYOTA CAMRY I HAVE PURCHASED MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY FROM DCH TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN SIMI VALLEY. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY 2 CERTIFIED MECHANICS OUTSIDE OF THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY STRUTS WERE LEAKING. THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY DID AN OIL CHANGE, BRAKES AND TIRE REPLACEMENTS. I TOOK THE CAR TO DCH TOYOTA FOR AN INSPECTION WHEN THE CAR HAD ONLY 30,000 MILES ON IT, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NORMAL SEEPAGE AND THEY DID NOT MAKE A NOTE IN THE COMPUTER THAT THEY HAD INSPECTED IT. THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THAT TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO THEM AGAIN YESTERDAY WHEN THE CAR HAD 60,441 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP'S MECHANIC INDICATED THAT THE STRUTS WERE LEAKING EXCESSIVELY AND THAT COULD CAUSE THE TIRES TO WEAR OUT MUCH MORE QUICKLY. BY THE WAY, I HAVE REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES AND THE REAR BRAKES DURING THE 3 YEARS THAT I'VE HAD THE CAR. I'M CERTAIN THAT IT'S HIGHLY UNUSUAL FOR THE STRUTS TO LEAK AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. THE TWO CERTIFIED MECHANICS OUTSIDE OF DEALERSHIP HAVE HAD THE SAME OPINION. I HAVE PRINT OUTS OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE FROM OTHER CAMRY OWNERS WHO HAVE REPORTED THEIR PROBLEMS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES ON THE INTERNET. DCH TOYOTA HAS TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $2,300.00 TO GET THE STRUTS REPLACED ADDITIONALLY, ALL 4 RIMS ON MY CAR HAVE RUSTED COMPLETELY ALL AROUND THE RIMS. THEY HAVE ASKED ME TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON FEBRUARY 19TH FOR THEM TO HAVE IT INSPECTED BY THEIR DISTRICT MANAGER. AFTER THE INSPECT

WHEN ON A LONG DISTANCE TRIP I USED THE CRUISE CONTROL--IT WAS SET TO AROUND 75 MPH. I APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT WHEN I WENT TO RESUME MY CRUISE CONTROL SPEED, THE CAR'S SPEED SURGED PAST THE 75 MPH THAT I HAD SET AND STARTED GOING ABOVE 80 MPH. I REALIZED IT AND APPLIED THE BRAKE AND THEN JUST SET THE SPEED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED AT LEAST SEPARATE 3 TIMES. I NO LONGER USE THE RESUME FUNCTION OF THE CRUISE CONTROL AND I HAVE NOT HAD OTHER PROBLEMS SINCE (BUT I HAVE NOT USED THE CRUISE CONTROL MUCH EITHER). *TR

ON 7/31/2007, I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW TOYOTA CAMRY SE FROM KNOXVILLE TOYOTA. ON APRIL 20, 2008, I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA CAMRY SE WESTBOUND ON ROUTE 26 JUST WEST OF COLUMBIA, SC, AT A SPEED OF 60MPH. I THEN HIT MY CRUISE CONTROL TO INCREASE THE SPEED TO PASS A VEHICLE, WHEN MY ACCELERATOR STUCK AND MY SPEED WENT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY TO 105 MPH. ALL EFFORTS TO UNSTICK MY ACCELERATOR FAILED ME.( I AM A 54 YR OLD RETIRED FBI SPECIAL AGENT WHO HAS OFTEN BEEN IN HIGH SPEED PURSUIT- SO I KNOW HOW TO HANDLE VEHICLES AT HIGH SPEEDS) TRAFFIC WAS RELATIVELY HEAVY, WITH A COUPLE 18 WHEELERS, AND SEVERAL CARS WITH FAMILIES IN FRONT OF ME. I RECALLED THERE BEING A FLYER OF WARNING BY TOYOTA ON RUBBER MATS, SO I REACHED DOWN, YANKED THE RUBBER MAT OFF THE FLOOR AND THREW IT INTO THE BACK SEAT, ALL THE WHILE STANDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, TRYING TO GET THE CAR NOT TO HIT VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. FINALLY I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND COASTED THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF MY FRONT BRAKES, AND ONCE ON THE RIGHT SIDE MEDIAN, I TURNED THE CAR OFF. LET IT COOL DOWN, THEN GOT BACK ON RT 26. LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES LATER, WHILE PASSING A SLOWER VEHICLE, MY ACCELERATOR STUCK AGAIN, AND THE SPEED GOT TO 95 MPH BEFORE I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AGAIN AND TURNED IT OFF. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE KNOXVILLE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP 4/21/08 (COMPLAINT OF 4/21/08 WAS DOCUMENTED AT TOYOTA KNOXVILLE, PO BOX 30069, KNOXVILLE TN.)AND THEY PUT IT ON THEIR MACHINE AND SAID "NOTHING WAS WRONG." FOR THE NEXT YEA

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A DANGEROUS AND ALMOST DEADLY INCIDENT REGARDING DRIVING MY TOYOTA CAMRY(2007). ON DECEMBER 13, 2009, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA, CAMRY IN WILKES BARRE, PA. VISITING FAMILY. SHE WAS ON RTE. 81 AND THE CAR STARTING RAPIDLY ACCELERATING WITHOUT HER PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR SPEED GOT UP TO AROUND 100 MPH WHEN SHE FINALLY WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN BY PRESSING THE BRAKE HEAVILY AND THEN PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. MY WIFE CAME VERY CLOSE TO CRASHING THE CAR WHICH AT THAT SPEED WOULD HAVE SURELY MEANT DEATH. MY WIFE WAS QUITE ANXIOUS TO SAY THE LEAST AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS INCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS MATTER AND AM QUITE ANGRY AT TOYOTA FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE TO OCCUR. I AM CONSIDERING TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST TOYOTA. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO SAN ANTONIO FROM HOUSTON AND USING MY CRUISE CONTROL ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE 4 CYL CAR MADE JAPAN. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 70 MPH AND I HAD TO SLOW DOWN FOR A VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME SO I PRESSED MY BRAKES WHICH STOPPED THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME THEN TURNED AND I WAS ABLE TO RESUME CRUISE CONTROL SO I PRESSED RESUME AND WITHOUT ALSO PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND/OR BRAKE PEDAL. THE CAR SURGED AHEAD GAINING LARGE AMOUNTS OF SPEED AND EASILY GOING OVER THE SPEED LIMIT THAT I HAD SET AT 70 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER HIT 78 AND KEEP GOING AT THAT SPEED ABOUT 30 SECS AND THEN STARTED TO SLOW DOWN TO 70 MPH. I HAVE THAT HAPPEN ALMOST EVERYTIME I USE THE CRUISE CONTROL IN MY CAR AND USE IT ACCORDING TO THE RECOMMEND STANDARDS SET BY TOYOTA. *TR

TOMORROW WILL BE THE 3RD TIME I HAVE TAKEN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN FOR VSC PROBLEMS. LUCKILY I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I PICKED UP MY CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON FRIDAY 2-12-2010 AND WITHIN ONE HOUR THE VSC , CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE DEALER HAS BEEN RESPONSIVE BUT GIVEN ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL I THOUGHT I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT. *TR

MY MOTHER WAS JUST MOVING MY CAR FROM THE DRIVE WAY TO INSIDE OUR GATE. MY CAR IS A TOYOTA 2007 CAMRY 4 DOOR V6. MY MOM SAID SHE DID NOT EVEN STEP ON THE GAS AND THE THING TOOK OFF. THE CAR WENT THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR, SEVERAL ANTIQUE FURNITURE ONE OF WHICH IS A 500 LB OAK BAR AND THEN THROUGH THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GARAGE. NEEDLESS TO SAY MY MOTHER WAS NOT INJURED. *TR

APPLIED BRAKES AS EXITING FREEWAY RAMP,FELT LIKE I WAS AT A STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL THEN DEPRESSED ALLTHE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I TAPPED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME..

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH SHE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING FASTER THAN NORMAL AND WHEN SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR END OF A MOVING VEHICLE, PUSHING IT TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. HER VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL ALTHOUGH SHE WAS APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED MOVING. SHE SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE CHEST AND CONTINUES TO HAVE PROBLEM WITH HER HEART. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

THE FLORIDA POLICE REPORT NUMBER WAS 3951FVE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I OWN A TOYOTA 2007 CAMRY. I ALMOST RAN INTO A CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHEN STOPPING FOR A LIGHT. COMING UP TO LIGHT, WHILE BRAKING I HIT A BUMP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TOWARDS THE FLOOR. I RELEASE THE BRAKE AND PRESSED IT AGAIN AND IT WORKED. ANOTHER INCIDENT OCCURRED RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN ICY SLOPE. I WAS BRAKING AND THERE WAS A HORRIBLE GRINDING OR SNAPPING TYPE NOISE. AS I WAS VERY SCARED I WOULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING I DID NOT NOTICE IF I LOST BRAKE PRESSURE. I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND EXPLAINED THE ABOVE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL WITH THE BRAKES THAT ARE INSTALLED ON THE CAMRY. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON I-5 CRUISE CONTROL ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. I PUT ON BRAKES REPEATEDLY AND HAD TO MANUALLY SHUT OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN I ASKED RODLAND TOYOTA IN EVERETT THEY STATED IT "SHOULD" DISENGAGE, ONLY CHECKED TO ENSURE I HAD BRAKE LIGHTS. I HAVE NOT SINCE THEN ATTEMPTED TO USE CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

THE NEW 2007 CAMRY HAS ALWAYS HAD AN UNEVEN ACCELERATION AND SLOWING. IT IS AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS ALWAYS "SEARCHING" FOR THE CORRECT GEAR. AS A RESULT, THE ENGINE IS ALWAYS CHANGING SPEEDS. DURING THE INITIAL REPAIR, THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THEY HAVE "A LOT" OF THESE TYPES OF COMPLAINTS AND SAID THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED. ON SUBSEQUENT REPAIRS I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING AND THAT TOYOTA COULD NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM THAT THE 2007 CAMRYS HAD. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION OR ACCIDENTS I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE A WARRANTY. I E-MAILED TOYOTA BUT DID NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE AND AM UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *TR

THIS IS MORE FOR YOUR INTERNAL INVESTIGATION OF TOYOTA. I WORK IN AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLIER BUSINESS FOR HEADLINERS. STARTING IN 2007 ON CAMRY AND OTHER VEHICLES TOYOTA INSTALLED CARBON FIBER BASED HEADLINERS, WHICH HAVE BEEN KNOW TO CREATE ELECTRONIC FIELDS THAT INTERFERE WITH UNSHIELDED CAR ELECTRONICS...WE USED TO JOKE THAT TOYOTA HAD TO INVEST ANOTHER $10-15 PER CAR TO FIX ELECTRONIC ISSUES RELATED TO ITS ALREADY OVER-PRICED HEADLINER, SHORTLY AFTER CARS WERE INTRODUCED. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES WHILE RESUMING CRUISE CONTROL MY ACCELERATION HAS GONE FASTER THAN EXPECTED, BEYOND THE LIMIT THAT I SET. I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKE TO STOP THE ACCELERATION, WHICH IS VERY FRIGHTENING, AND OF COURSE UNSAFE. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I ALWAYS ALLOW A SAFE DISTANCE BEHIND OTHER VEHICLES. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN THE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE 2007 CAMRY. *TR

I PURCHASED MY TOYOTA CAMRY LE IN JUNE 2007, SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD SEVERAL FRONT END ALIGNMENTS ON MY VEHICLE BY DIFFERENT BUSINESSES. AFTER THE ALIGNMENTS, THE CAR STILL PULLS TO EITHER SIDE AND DOESN'T RIDE STRAIGHT. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND THE CAR ALIGNMENT IS FINE. I HAVE TALKED WITH OTHER TOYOTA CAMRY OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR CAMRY'S ALSO. *TR

TOYOTA FRONT SUSPENSION PROBLEMS STARTING WITH 2007 CAMRY THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED TOYOTA SEEMS TO WANT TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY BRAKES. WHEN BRAKING, THE PEDAL FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS GOING THROUGH THE FLOOR AND HITTING A DEAD SPOT. CAR WILL NOT BRAKE WITHOUT PUMPING THE BRAKES. CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED 3 TIMES FOR BRAKE ISSUES. HAS HAD TWO COMPLETE BRAKE JOBS (REPLACEMENTS?) BUT IT STILL HAS THE PROBLEM. TOYOTA SAID THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED ON THE BRAKES BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. *TR

THE FOLLOWING E-MAIL WAS SENT TO YOU DECEMBER 2007. "WITH ALL OF THE PROBLEMS TOYOTA IS HAVING WITH THE 2007 CAMRY TRANSMISSIONS, WHY HAVE THEY NOT HAD A RECALL?

2007 CAMRY SE; BOTH SUNVISORS HAVE FAILED WHICH MEANS THEY ARE FALLING OUT OF THEIR ANCHORS, WHICH ARE HELD IN PLACE BY PLASTIC CONNECTORS. THIS RESULTS IN THE VISORS BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW (AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER'S VIEW), WHICH IMPAIR A CLEAR VIEW OF THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN VICTORVILLE, CALIFORNIA HAS INSPECTED THE VISORS; THEY REPORT THAT THIS IS A COMMON REPAIR HOWEVER, AFTER CONTACTING THE REGIONAL SERVICE ADVISOR FOR TOYOTA, THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR PRODUCT DEFECT, AND ADVISED THAT THE CUSTOMER SIMPLY PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE DEALER OFFERED TO FIX AT COST FOR THE SUM OF $100, PER VISOR, PLUS LABOR FOR A TOTAL OF $300. *TR

I EXPERIENCED THE "STICKY PEDAL" IN A ACCIDENT IN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CAR INCREASED SPEED ON A WINDING ROAD. IT SLAMED INTO A WALL. THE CAR WAS TOTAL. I IMMEDIATELY TOLD THE TOYOTA EXPERINCE LINE ABOUT THE MALFUNCTIONING OF THE CAR. I DID NOT HEAR BACK FROM THEM. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH TOYOTA'S RESOLUTION TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HOW DO WE KNOW THIS WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM? I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING A TOYOTA ANYMORE. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED. I SUSTAINED BURNS ON MY NECK AREA FROM THE SEAT BELT. I'M SEEKING COMPENSATION FOR LOSS OF MY VEHICLE, INCREASED INSURANCE PAYMENTS, AND TRAUM SUFFERED IN THE ACCIDENT. *CN

I HAVE A 2007 4CYL TOYOTA CAMRY AND ON OCCASION IT WILL HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING. GENERALLY OCCURS ONLY WHEN MOVING AT VERY SLOW RATE OF SPEED AND ACCELERATE TO PULL QUICKLY INTO TRAFFIC. HAVE RETURNED TO DEALER AT LEAST 3 TIMES. THEY SAY IT IS "NORMAL" AND CAN NOT GET IT TO HAPPEN SO CANNOT FIX. THEY HAVE APPLIED TSB BUT DID NOT SEEM TO CORRECT. QUIT ASKING FOR REPAIR BUT NOW SEE ISSUES WITH STICKING ACCELERATOR AND WONDER IF THIS IS ANOTHER TOYOTA COVER UP!! *TW

ON JANUARY 26, 2009 I WAS PULLING MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY INTO A HANDICAPPED PARKING SPOT IN A STRIP MALL. MY RIGHT FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CONTINUED GOING FORWARD (THERE WAS NO CURB) UNTIL IT CRASHED INTO A PIZZA RESTAURANT. FORTUNATELY, I WASN'T INJURED, ALTHOUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAD TO COVER THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND TO THE STORE; I HAD TO PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE AND WAS GIVEN A TICKET FOR CARELESS DRIVING, BECAUSE NO OTHER EXPLANATION FOR THE ACCIDENT WAS EVIDENT AT THE TIME. I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE CAR COULD HAVE ACCELERATED WITH MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND ON THE BRAKE. HOWEVER, AFTER READING ABOUT THE RECENT FUROR REGARDING THE GAS PEDAL ON 2007 TOYOTAS, I BROUGHT MY CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS ADVISED THAT MY GAS PEDAL WAS MANUFACTURED IN JAPAN AND THUS NOT SUBJECT TO RECALL. THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE ACCIDENT. *TW
