2007 Toyota Camry complaints

FIRST I HEARD A SQUEALING NOISE, THEN MY AC LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND BLOWING HOT AIR. I GOT HOME 5 MILES LATER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WITHIN 2 MINUTES A HUGE PUDDLE OF OIL COLLECTED ON THE DRIVEWAY UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE. *TR

TERRIBLE INTERIOR NOISES, ESPECIALLY IN SUNROOF AREA (SUNROOF RATTLES WHEN CLOSED). DEALER HAS APPLIED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ONCE BUT ISSUE STILL EXISTS. CAR IS CURRENTLY WITH DEALER TO DIAGNOSE ISSUES. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK I WAS GOING AT A SPEED OF 45 -50 MILES PER HOUR;ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL. THE CAR LANDED IN A DITCH ON SOME HUGE ROCKS. IT WAS RAINING AT THE TIME OF THE WRECK BUT I NEVER AGREED OR FELT LIKE THE CAR HYDROPLANED. THERE IS KNOW REAL EXPLANATION FOR THE CAR SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL OTHER THAN WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE THE TIRES. NOT SURE IF IT WAS TRACTION,TREAD OR BLOWOUT. THE CAR HAS BEEN DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

2007 CAMRY XLE V6, THIS IS MY SECOND CAR (LEMON LAW REPLACED FIRST CAMRY AT 300 MILES NEW) AND 4TH TRANSMISSION, ALL COVERED BY TOYOTA. LAST WEEK ALL OIL DRAINED FROM VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING.. OIL SPEWED FROM UNDERNEATH VEHICLE FOR MILES. MY GIRLFRIEND CALLED ME AT WORK, ASKED ME TO CHECK MY CAR AS SHE SAW MY TRAIL OF OIL FOR 1/4 MILE.. TOOK CAR TO MY MECHANIC, FOUND A RUBBER HOSE, A CLAMP ON EACH END ABOUT 6 INCHES LONG, THE CLAMPS AND HOSE HAD TO BE REPLACED, BECAUSE OIL SPEWED OUT OF THIS PART. IF MY GIRLFRIEND HADN'T CALLED ME, MY ENGINE WOULD HAVE SEIZED. AS WHEN I CHECKED IT AT WORK A PUDDLE OF OIL WAS UNDER VEHICLE, AND THE DIP STICK SHOWED NO OIL IN VEHICLE. WHAT IF I WAS ON VACATION OR TRAVELING OUT OF STATE, MY CAR ENGINE WOULD HAVE BEEN DESTROYED. ENGINE WOULD HAVE SEIZED DUE TO NO OIL IN ENGINE. BIG PROBLEM................................................ *TR

CAR LOST OIL PRESSURE FROM BROKEN VVTI OIL LINE. OIL WAS ALL OVER ENGINE AND COMPLETELY ALL OVER THE BOTTOM OF CAR, DRIVEWAY AND GARAGE. STARTED SMOKING, NO WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON THE DASHBOARD. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE OIL PIPE WAS BROKE AND REPLACED AS PER TSB EG64-05. *TR

THE VVT-I OIL LINE FAILED DURING A LONG OUT OF STATE TRIP LEAVING FAMILY STRANDED AND HAVING TO RENT A VEHICLE TO GET HOME (VERMONT TO MARYLAND). GETTING A RENTAL WAS NOT FUN. THE WORST PART THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE 2007 CAMRY V6 ENGINES. THE CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE THE DAY PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED ALL HOSES, ETC. THERE IS A TSB OUT ON THE PROBLEM, AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED SINCE IT HAS BEEN OUT BUT NEVER LOOKED AT. *TR

SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP AND FLOP DOWN DURING DRIVING - TOYOTA 2007 CAMRY. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE HAD JERK ON ACCELERATION AS WELL AS TURNING. TALKED TO SERVICE MANAGER AND TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A "FEATURE" IN ORDER TO SATISFY THE EPA REQUIREMENT, WHICH THE SIGNAL WAS SENT OT THE COMPUTER, AND TIMING REQUIRED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND AND BELIEVE THAT, AS I ALSO HAD A 2006 HIGHLANDER HYBRID, WHICH DID NOT DO ME THE SAME INSTANCE. THE JERK MAY CAUSE THE CAR BEHIND REAR-END MY CAMRY. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. HOPEFULLY I AM THE FIRST ONE THAT FILE THIS COMPLAINTS.*TR

SAFETY ISSUE, CHEAP QUALITY WINDSHIELD USED BY TOYOTA ON 2007 CAMRY LE. I FILED A COMPLAIN WITH TOYOTA FOR WINDSHIELD CRACK WHICH APPEARED ON MY 2007 CAMRY (STILL UNDER WARRANTY) WITH 17K MILES. I TOOK IT TO DEALER AND DEALER SERVICE MANAGER WASHED HIS HANDS SAYING THIS CRACK IS DUE TO SOME PEBBLE/ROCK HITTING THE WINDSHIELD AND THAN HE SHOWED ME TIP OF PIN SIZE MARK WHICH I REALLY STRANGE THAT HOW CAN THAT MARK CAUSE THAT CRACK, ITS CLEARLY SHOWS THAT EITHER TOYOTA HAD ADVISED DEALERS NOT TO COVER ANYTHING IN WARRANTY AS CUSTOMER WILL END UP PAYING FROM HIS POCKET RATHER TOYOTA FIXING IT. I EVEN COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA BUT NO USE, THEY MOVED IT BACK TO DEALER AND DEALER CUSTOMER RELATION LADY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING, EARLIER SERVICE MANAGER HAD GIVEN ME TOYOTA NUMBER TO CONTACT AND SEE IF THEY CAN DO ANYTHING BUT LOOKS LIKE HE KNEW THAT NOTHING WOULD BE DONE AND I WILL JUST WASTE MY TIME. COMPLAIN WHICH I MADE TO TOYOTA VIA CUSTOMER RELATION DEPARTMENT ID: 0907111004 RESOLUTION SOUGHT: CHANGE THE WINDSHIELD ASAP OR TAKE THE CAR BACK, I WOULD RATHER GO TO HONDA. SEEMS LIKE TOYOTA CAR ARE GOOD FOR ROAD WHICH ARE EITHER DRIVEWAY KIND OR TOTALLY CLEAN, NOT ABLE TO HANDLE HIGHWAYS. THIS WAS MY FIRST AND LAST TOYOTA, FOR SURE I WILL COVEY THE MESSAGE TO OTHERS TOO SO THAT PEOPLE THING AGAIN BEFORE BUYING TOYOTA. I TRUSTED TOYOTA NAME AND THOUGH THERE AFTER SALES AND SERVICE WOULD BE GOOD AND PARTS USED WOULD BE GOOD QUALITY BUT GUESS ITS NOT, SHOWS REASON OF WHY PEOPLE MOVING AWAY. *T

BRAKES AND ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT 15,000 MILES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE 2007 V-6 CAMRY ON THE HIGHWAY THE VVTI OIL PRESSURE TUBE DEVELOPED A RAPID LEAK. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR OIL PRESSURE FAILURE INDICATORS ACTIVATED BY THE LEAK. THIS RAPID OIL LEAK MAY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SEIZE AND LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED AND THEY TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ENGINE DESIGN FAILURE, NOR DO THEY INTEND TO WARN THE OTHER CAMRY OWNERS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. HE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE FRONT END AND GRILL AREA OF THE VEHICLE. FIVE MINUTES LATER, FLAMES APPEARED FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE ENTIRE FRONT END BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 2GR-FE V-6 ENGINE HAD A FAILED VVTI PRESSURE PIPE ASSY. MAJOR OIL LEAK DEVELOPED WHICH CAUSED A LOSS OF ENGINE OIL. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. DEALER REPLACED WITH THE SAME PART NUMBER 15707-31030 WITH THE RUBBER CONNECTION INSTEAD OF THE UPDATED ALL METAL PART NUMBER 15772-31030. I HAD 56335 MILES ON THE VEHICLE SO IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT NOW I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS EVENT OCCURRING AGAIN AFTER ANOTHER 56000 MILES. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND NOW REALIZE THAT THIS PROBLEM EXIST ON MANY OF THE TOYOTA VEHICLES WITH THIS TYPE ENGINE. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED BY TOYOTA BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. (FIRE, BROKE DOWN ON THE SIDE OF ROAD AND ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHES INTO YOU ETC.) *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CAMRY LE,. VEHICLE HAS 14,500 MILES. ABOUT 1 YR AGO STARTED NOTICING UNDUE WEAR AND SHALLOW TREAD ON ALL 4 TIRES. NOTE, ONLY SELLING DEALER HAS DONE MAINTENANCE ON THIS CAR INCLUDING TIRE ROTATIONS, ALIGNMENTS, ETC. IN JAN '09, BROUGHT CAR FOR OIL CHANGE; SVCEMAN SAID THE CAR NEEDED 4 NEW TIRES; ACTUALLY WROTE ON THEIR INV #793696 'CUSTOMER DECLINES TIRES'. I QUESTIONED HOW THIS COULD BE, WHY NO TREAD LEFT, MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS 12125; SAID, ' FLORIDA ROADS ARE VERY HARD ON TIRES.' I'VE LIVED HERE FOR 20 YEARS, THIRD TOYOTA, NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. DLR DETAILED INSPECTION REPORT OF JAN 8, 09 W/ DIAGRAM STATES ALL FOUR TIRES HAD 3/32" OR LESS TREAD. CAR HAS WARRANTY; MY DAUGHTER BOUGHT ME THE CAR, PURCHASED FULL SVCE CONTRACT FOR THREE YEARS, INS CARRIER WON'T LISTEN. I AM 63 ON JUNE 22, HAVE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, SS INCOME ONLY, CANNOT AFFORD TIRES AND ON PRINCIPLE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO. SEARCHED WEB FOR INFO ABOUT THIS ISSUE; TOO VOLUMINOUS TO READ. HOW CAN ALL FOUR TIRES ON A VEHICLE WITH 12125 MILES, NEVER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, NEVER HIT ANYTHING HAVE VIRTUALLY NO TREAD LEFT? I'M ABOUT READY TO GO DIRECTLY TO SOUTHEAST TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS IN ATLANTA WITH THE HELP OF LEGAL AID. ONE ENTRY ON THE WEB ACTUALLY SAID,WHY DOESN'T TOYOTA CHARGE ANOTHER 2 OR 3009 AND PUT DECENT TIRES ON THE CAR. IF THESE CARS ARE SOLD IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, DOESN'T SOMEONE HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SUPPLYING THE VEHICLE WITH COMPATIBLE EQUIPMENT? OVER THE PAST MONTHS I'VE B

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY 4 CYLINDER RANDOMLY HESITATES ON TAKE OFF. CAUSES A HAZARD WHEN ENTERING HEAVY TRAFFIC FROM A STOP OR NEAR ZERO ACCELERATION POINT. ALSO DRAGS AND SEEMS TO PULL ON ENGINE WHEN IN A COASTING SITUATION. IT FIRST DID THIS AROUND 6800 MILES. DEALER DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. NOW IT'S DOING IT AGAIN AT 30, 000 MILES AND DEALER SAYS THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN FIND WRONG. *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

CAR'S AC BLOWER MOTOR STOPPED WORKING ATR ~ 18 K MILES. THE HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM WOULD SOMETIMES NOT WORK WHEN IT WAS TURNED ON. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY A PROBLEM WHEN CAR WAS PARKED IN THE SUN. THE BLOWER WOULD ALSO MAKE A THRUMMING SOUND AND IT TOOK 4 TIMES FOR THE DEALER TO EVEN ADMIT THIS WAS HAPPENING AND IT STILL IS NOT RIGHT. *TR

THE US FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION HAS DETERMINED IN ITS 2006 & 2007 REPORTS THAT THE TOYOTA CAMRY WAS THE HIGHEST LISTED VEHICLE TO BE ARBITRATED. THE FAILURE I ENCOUNTERED WAS THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE OR REACT WHEN YOU APPLIED THE GAS PEDAL, THIS IS DUE TO A SERIOUS GAP IN RESPONSE TIME DUE TO THE TOYOTA "DRIVE BY WIRE" PROCESS, SOFTWARE FLASH UPDATES PER THE TSB-ECM ARE NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM, WHICH LED TO MY ACCIDENT, THIS PROBLEM MAY HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AS A RESULT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE OUT OF HARMS WAY. I ENCOURAGE TOYOTA CAMRY OWNERS TO RETURN THEIR VEHICLES PER THEIR STATES RESPECTIVE LEMON LAWS OR THE FEDERAL MAGNUSON-MOSS ACT. 2006 TOYOTA HAS THE HIGHEST COMPLAINT RATING, 286 COMPLAINTS, TOTALING 83.9% OF THE COMPLAINTS. TOYOTA HAS THE TOP 3 SPOTS FOR COMPLAINTS ON THEIR VEHICLES THE TOYOTA CAMRY WAS THE MOST COMPLAINED ABOUT VEHICLE FROM EVERYONE IN ALL GROUPS 42 COMPLAINTS, TOTALING 12.3% OF ALL COMPLAINTS. 2007 AGAIN TOYOTA TOOK 85 COMPLAINTS, TOTALING 84.2% THE TOP 3 VEHICLES WERE FROM TOYOTA, THE CAMRY AGAIN IS IN PLACE NUMBER 3 12 TOTAL COMPLAINTS, TOTALING 11.9%, THE HIGHEST NOW 2 YEARS IN A ROW.

RESTON, VA, MARCH 29, 2009 I HAVE A GAS PEDAL PROBLEM. IT ACCELERATES BY ITSELF AND WHEN I TRY TO PUT MY CAR AT P (PARKING) THERE IS A BIG NOISE AND IT SMELLS LIKE BURNING PLASTIC. I HAVE GONE TO MY CAR DEALER 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. EACH TIME THEY SAID THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE 2 LAST TIMES I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT CARPET (FLOOR MAT) PROBLEM. MY LAST VISIT TO MY DEALER WAS ON 3/17/2009 AND YESTERDAY 3/28/2009 I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. I NEED SOME HELP FROM TOYOTA BECAUSE MY CAR IS NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD. I AM STARTING TO BE AFRAID TO DRIVE MY OWN CAR AND HAVE AN ACCIDENT. IF TOYOTA CANNOT FIND MY PROBLEM, WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? *TR

WITHOUT WARNING, THE VVT OIL SUPPLY HOSE RUPTURED, SPRAYING ENGINE OIL ALL OVER THE ENGINE, UNDERCARRIAGE AND HOT EXHAUST OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE WITH THE 3.5 LITRE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE LOST ALMOST ALL OF IT'S ENGINE OIL IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS EVER CAME ON. TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AT PEAK OPERATING TEMPERATURES, THIS POSES A VERY SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD. AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE TOYOTA DEALER, I WAS ADVISED THAT THE RUPTURED HOSE WAS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND WOULD TAKE AT LEAST 5 WEEKS TO GET. I CONTACTED TOYOTA'S CORPORATE OFFICES AND WAS TOLD THAT PRODUCTION OF THE HOSES COULD NOT MEET THE DEMAND FOR THEM AND THAT IT MAY TAKE 5 WEEKS OR MORE TO GET THE PART AT MY LOCAL DEALER. I WAS INFORMED BY A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE THAT AT THE PRESENT TIME, TOYOTA HAS APPROXIMATELY 1100 VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME ISSUE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT THE OIL HAS COVERED ALL OF THE RUBBER SUSPENSION PARTS FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE ALL THE WAY TO THE REAR TAILPIPE TIPS. AFTER SITTING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, THIS CAN CAUSE CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE TO ALL OF THE RUBBER SUSPENSION PARTS. I FEEL THAT THE TOYOTA CORPORATION IS TRYING TO LIMIT IT'S EXPENSE FOR THESE PREMATURE FAILURES OF THIS OIL SUPPLY HOSE AND THIS POSES A SERIOUS THREAT TO THE SAFETY OF ANYONE RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD CERTAINLY WARRANT A LOOK BY THE NHTSA AS IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM IS LARGER TAN TH

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING OIL SUPPLY HOSE RUPTURED. AS A RESULT, ENGINE OIL SPRAYED ALL OVER THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, ENGINE, AND DOWN INTO THE TAIL PIPES. BOTH FRONT WHEEL WELLS BEGAN TO SMOKE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT FOUND LARGE PUDDLES OF ENGINE OIL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WOULD TAKE OVER FIVE WEEKS TO OBTAIN THE PART (HOSE) NEEDED TO MAKE THE REPAIRS DUE TO A NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 69,000.

2007 CAMRY V6 WITH AUTO TRANSMISSION HAS HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH DOWNSHIFTING AND UPSHIFTING CONSTANTLY WHEN NOT NEEDED, HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED DOWN. ALSO, THE CAR SOMETIMES SURGES WHEN BETWEEN GEARS, AND THEN DOWNSHIFTS VERY VERY HARD. THE DEALER HAS HAD ALL OF TOYOTAS TSB'S APPLIED FOR ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS, BUT THEY STILL EXIST. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME OTHER FIX FOR THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

OIL SHOOTING FROM REAR OIL TRANSFER HOSE AT 84,116 EVEN THOUGH CAR WAS RECENTLY SERVICED. MECHANIC SAID TOYOTA IS CHANGING FROM MESH HOSE TO STEEL HOSE AND IS AWARE OF PROBLEM. NO SERVICE BULLETINS OR RECALL NOTICES HAVE BEEN SENT OUT. CAR WAS REPAIRED WITH NEW HOSE, OIL , FILTER AND ENGINE WAS STEAM CLEANED. ENGINE APPEARED OK BUT CAR COULD HAVE SEIZED ON THE FREEWAY AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM LOCAL DEALER. VEHICLE HESITATES ON ACCELERATION MAKING IT SCARY TO PULL OUT INTO MOVING TRAFFIC.

VEHICLE ALSO LOCKS ITS OWN DOORS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. *TR

WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2007 AND IT WAS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES. THE CAR TIRES WERE FINE THE FIRST WINTER. THE NEXT WINTER IN 2008 I STARTED NOTICING THE CAR WAS HAVING ISSUES WHEN THERE WAS VERY LITTLE SNOW ON THE DRIVE WAY OR ROAD. THE CAR WAS SLIPPERY AND THE FRONT TWO TRIES JUST HAD PROBLEMS. THIS WINTER I ALMOST WOULD HAVE BEEN RAN OVER BY ANOTHER CAR WHILE THIS CAR TIRES JUST WOULD NOT MOVE AND SLIPPED AND WAS IN BETWEEN TWO LANES. I FINALLY CHANGED THE TIRES WHEN I HAD 2500 MILES ONLY IN MY CAR. MY HUSBAND CALLED TOYOTA DEALER AND SPOKE WITH THEM AND THEY BLAME BRIDESTONE. I HAD TO GET THE CAR ON THE ROAD SIDE AND THE POLICE HAD TO REMOVE MY CAR AS IT WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. I HOPE YOU LOOK AT THE TIRERACK WEBSITE FOR OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME KIND OF ISSUES. THE TIRES JUST GET STUCK AND DON'T BUDGE. ALSO PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THIS IS A RIP OFF TO CONSUMERS TO CHANGE TIRES WHEN THE CAR IS JUST 2 YRS OLD. THANKS. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY BRAND NEW AND HAD IT 2 DAYS WHEN NEEDING TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A FRONT END PROBLEM. THE SUBFRAME BOLTS WERE LOOSE AND NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED AND ALIGNED. I HAVE WORN OUT 3 SETS OF TIRES IN 2 YEARS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 50K MILES ON IT. ALL DIFFERENT BRANDS OF TIRES USED AND THE FIRST 2 WORE OUT AT 18,000 MILES BUT THE LAST WORE OUT AT AROUND 5,000. IT HAS BEEN ON AN ALIGNMENT RACK 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME NEEDING SMALL ADJUSTMENTS. THE CAR ALSO HAS A BINDING NOISE UPON TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT. CALLED DEALERSHIPS AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING OR EVEN CONFIRM THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH CAR. I AM DISGUISED. I HAVE SPENT OVER $1000.00 ON A CAR THAT IS STILL NEW. HELP WITH ALL THE MONEY TOYOTA IS MAKING THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND HAVE A RECALL ON THE ISSUES AND REIMBURSE OWNERS. I DO NOT EXPECT TO PUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS OUT ON A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

I NOTICED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT THE CAR HESITATED ON ACCELERATION. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS NEW. I ALSO OWN A 1993 CAMRY, WHICH HAS NEVER GIVEN US A PROBLEM. BESIDES GAS AND OIL CHANGES THIS CAR STILL RUNS WELL. HAD I KNOWN THAT THIS NEWER MODEL WAS GOING TO BE SCARY TO DRIVE I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED IT. LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. IT CONTINUES TO HESITATE WHEN YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, IN REVERSE IT FLIES OUT OF THE GARAGE EVEN WHEN NOT PRESSING ON THE GAS...I REFUSE TO LET MY 16 YEAR OLD DRIVE IT AND FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM. PS I ALSO HAD TO HAVE MY TIRES CHANGED AFTER ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MILES, THEY WERE COMPLETELY WORN. *TR

2007 CAMRY USES A PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AND A THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (DRIVE BY WIRE) SO THERE IS NO ACTUAL MECHANICAL CABLE BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE THROTTLE BODY. HOWEVER, HESITATES FREQUENTLY ESPECIALLY WHEN DECELERATING (THROUGH A TOLL OR FOR TRAFFIC) AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AT DEALER WHEN SERVICE, I WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. *TR
