2007 Toyota Camry complaints

BAD SMELL COMING FROM THE AC WHEN IS INITIALLY TURN ON AND 5 DAYS AGO FIND OUT THE RUG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND BACK ON THE SAME SIDE ARE SOAKING WET. MECHANIC FROM THE DEALER STATED THAT ONE AC HOSE INSIDE THE CAR, UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD WAS TUGGED IN. THEN THE MANAGER STATED IT WAS THE OUTSIDE HOSE FROM THE AC. THEY STATE THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WATER DAMAGE. WANT COSTUMER TO PAY 1,480 TO CHANGE THE RUGS. ONLY 9,707 MILES, THEY ARE BEING DISHONEST TO THE CUSTOMERS. ALSO, SLOW ACCELERATION AND JUMPY RIDE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS FORCED OFF THE ROAD BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 TO 40 MPH. SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO THE WALL OF A HOUSE. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A REPORT WAS FILED; HOWEVER, THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AIR BAG. THEY FURTHER STATED THAT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS NOT STRUCK. THE DRIVER SUFFERED INJURIES TO HER NECK, BACK, AND FEET. THE KILLEEN POLICE DEPARTMENT FILED REPORT NUMBER 08-1463. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,100.

INTERMITTENTLY, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, PARTICULARLY WHEN I BRAKE AND DECELERATE FROM ABOVE 30MPH, THEN MAKE A TURN, SUCH AS EXITING AN OFF RAMP, AT ABOUT 5-20 MPH, I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO ACCELERATE OUT OF THE TURN, AND THE THROTTLE DOES NOT RESPOND FOR ABOUT 3 TO 15 SECONDS. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHERE I CANNOT DEPEND ON THE VEHICLE RESPONDING TO THE THROTTLE ALLOWING ME TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS UNDER OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES, AND IS COMPLETELY UNPREDICTABLE, BUT THE ABOVE SCENARIO IS THE MOST CONSISTENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA FOR THIS ISSUE FOR THE SECOND TIME AND WAS TOLD: '..THAT IS THE WAY IT IS..' AND "..THIS IS HOW THE FLY-BY-WIRE SYSTEM WORKS IN THE CAMRY.." BY THE SERVICE TECH OF POWER TOYOTA IRVINE ON TUESDAY APR 29. HE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND ENCOURAGED ME TO SPEAK WITH THE TECH ROBERT WHO KNOWS HOW TO WORK AROUND THE ISSUE BY MANIPULATING THE THROTTLE AND RECOMMENDED THAT I COMPLAIN DIRECTLY TO TOYOTA. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT IF I BUG TOYOTA, THEY WILL BE MOTIVATED TO '.. FIX THE SOFTWARE, PUT A NEW COMPUTER IN IT, OR TAKE CARE OF YOU SOME OTHER WAY..' *TR

WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PETAL THE CAR DOESN'T PICK UP SPEED FROM A STOP. IT IS DELAYED. ANOTHER INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE CAR WENT IT TO NEUTRAL. BUT THE FINAL STRAW WAS WHEN I HAD PARKED ON MY DRIVE WAY(4/25/08) WHICH IS SORT OF A INCLINE I HAD PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND AS A EXTRA SAFETY PRECAUTION I PRESSED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE UPON DOING SO THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED AND SWITCHED GEARS AND ROLLED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY PULLING ME UNDER AS I STEPPED OUT THE CAR AND RUNNING OVER MY FOOT CRUSHING IT. WHEN THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT SAID THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A COMPUTER ERROR WHICH THEY THEN RESET THE SYSTEM. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA WITH ONLY 14,000 MILES ON IT IS ALREADY OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND WEARING THE INSIDE OF THE TIRES. I THOUGHT THAT I HAD A DEFECTIVE TIRE BECAUSE OF THE THUMPING NOISE AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS BECAUSE I DID NOT ROTATE THE TIRES. I HAD ROTATED THE TIRES 1 TIME DURING THE 14,000 MILES AND THE REAR TIRE WAS "CUPPING" THE SAME AS THE FRONT TIRE. THIS PROVED THAT THE ALIGNMENT WAS BAD PROBABLY FROM THE FACTORY. I TALKED WITH THE SALESMAN AT THE DEALER AND HE SAID THAT I SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE AN ALIGNMENT DONE EVERY 6 MONTHS. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO GET AN ALIGNMENT DONE ON A NEW CAR UNTIL I BOUGHT NEW TIRES. THEY DID NOT OFFER ME ANYTHING EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF I WERE SOMEONE WHO WAS NOT AWARE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY TIRES DUE TO IMPROPER ALIGNMENT FROM THE FACTORY AND THE TIRE WOULD WEAR ON THE INSIDE (AS MINE ARE) WHERE IT IS NOT NOTICEABLE THERE COULD BE BLOWOUT OF THE TIRE RESULTING IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND EVEN DEATH. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE TOYOTA ISSUE A RECALL ON ALL 2007 CAMRYS FOR FRONT END ALIGNMENT OR ELSE REIMBURSEMENT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE HAD TO GET THEIR VEHICLE ALIGNED (AS I AM ABOUT TO) DUE TO THE FACT THE DEALERS ARE UNWILLING TO WARRANT THIS WORK. I HAVE READ CONSUMER WEB SIGHTS AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE, IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, MAKE TOYOTA ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS FAILURE OF DESIGN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THERE HAS BEEN EXCESSIVE VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END. THE FAILURE OCCURS WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 65-70 MPH AND CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO VIBRATE. THE DEALER REBALANCED THE TIRES, BUT THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS A YEAR LATER. A MECHANIC DROVE THE VEHICLE, CONFIRMED THE VIBRATION, BUT PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 13,200 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,900.

I HAVE TOYOTA CAMRY LE 4-CYL FOR APPROX. 1 YR NOW AND IT CONSTANTLY HESITATES WHEN I AM DRIVING OR IF I AM AT A STOP AND TRY TO PULL OFF. MY CAR HAVE BEEN IN 3 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE MY CAR FAIL TO ACELERATE WHEN NEEDED FROM A STOP SIGN. I HAVE GOTTEN TO THE POINT I AM CONSTANTLY LOOKING IN MY REAR VIEW BECAUSE I AM SO AFRAID I AM GOING TO GET HIT FROM THE BACK OF MY CAR. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND WAS TOLD IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RELAY SYSTEM OF SOME SORT, BUT NO PROBLEM THAT IS THE WAY THE '07'S OPERATE. THERE DEFINITELY SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF RECALL BY NOW. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR ME OR SOMEONE ELSE LIFE. *TR

AFTER SLOWING TO MAKE A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN, THE ACCELERATOR "STICKS" PREVENTING/SLOWING ACCELERATION IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE TURN OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AND CLEAR OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. JUDGING FROM INTERNET SITES THROUGH GOOGLE, THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS (MINE INCLUDED) ARE AWARE OF, BUT DO NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, AND I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WHEN I GIVE MY CAR A LITTLE GAS IT HESITATE AND THEN OUT OF KNOW WHERE MY CAR TAKES OFF. OR WHEN I AM DRIVING IT SEEMS IF I AM DRIVING A 5 SPEED. I HAVE TO GIVE MY CAR MORE GAS IN ORDER FOR IT TO GO TO THE NEXT GEAR. I SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FEEL MY CAR SHIFTING GEARS. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY V6 IS BURNING OIL EXCESSIVELY, ALL SYMPTOMS INDICATE THAT THE OIL SKIMMER RING IS INSTALLED UPSIDE DOWN IN TWO CYLINDERS. THE VEHICLE IS SMOKING ONES IN A WILE BUT A LOT. MOSTLY AFTER DRIVING LONGER DISTANCE ON FREEWAY OR IN THE MORNING AFTER STARTUP, SOMETIMES AFTER LEFT TURNS THE OIL CHOKES THE ENGINE AT SOME POINT, CAUSING IT TO STALL AND THROWS EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF SMOKE. I FOUND OTHER CONSUMERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM IN CANADA WITH THE SAME MODEL AND SIMILAR AGE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLES HAVE LOW MILEAGE BETWEEN 8,000-3,0000 SUPPORTING THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT MAY BE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. TOYOTA REFUSED TO CURE THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE I DIDN'T KEEP MY RECEIPTS OF MY MAINTENANCE. I THINK A TRAINEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WRONG INSTALLATION OF THE PISTON RINGS AND MAY BE MORE OUT THERE. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HESITATES WHEN YOU FIRST PRESS ON THE GAS. IT HAS HAPPENED AS LONG AS 3 SECONDS. FROM A STOPPED POSITION, PULLING OUT ON TO A HWY. AND GOING LEFT, MY CAR GOT ME OUT ON TO THE HWY. BUT THEN HESITATED. I WAS STILL PRESSING ON THE GAS HEAVILY, BUT MY CAR WAS NOT GOING! I WOULD ESTIMATE ABOUT 3 SECONDS. I HAD AN ONCOMING CAR TRAVELING TOWARD ME AND I WAS STOPPED IN HIS LANE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING. THIS HESITATION HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. I WOULD SAY THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES EVERYTIME I DRIVE MY CAR. TOYOTA SERVICE DEPT. SAYS HE HAS HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THIS YEAR AND MAKE. HE KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT AS SOON AS I MADE THE CALL TO HIM REGARDING THE PROBLEM. HE SAID THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MAIN COMPUTER IN THE CAR. I TOOK IT IN AND THEY HAD TO PREFORM AN "ECU UPDATE' WHICH HE SAID BASICALLY IS RESETTING THE COMPUTER. SOUNDS EASY, BUT IT TOOK THEM 2HRS TO COMPLETE. I AM AFRAID SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED DUE TO THIS "ECU" PROBLEM! I COULD HAVE BEEN!!! *TR

I OWN A TOYOTA CAMRY 2007, AND YESTERDAY AFTER A CRASH WERE THE FRONT CROSS MEMBER OF FRONT BUMPER COLLAPSE AND DAMAGE THE RADIATORS, ANY OF THE AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AROUND 30MPH BEFORE SHE CRASH ON THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. EVEN THE DEALER SALES REP. WAS SURPRISED ABOUT THE FAILURE, MY CAR WAS IMPORTED FROM U.S. BACK IN 2006. AS YEAR MODEL 2007. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE AT A STOP SIGN WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE PEDAL EXTENDS TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT HAD TO REMOVE HIS FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER FOR IT TO RETURN TO ITS NORMAL POSITION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO APPROXIMATELY THREE DEALERS, BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT FILED CASE NUMBER 200801100060 WITH TOYOTA. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000. UPDATED 04/23/08 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED EMERGENCY BRAKE GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE DEALER STATED BECAUSE OF THE PARTICULAR BRAKE SYSTEM AND THAT WAS NORMAL. UPDATED 04/23/08 *TR

WE HAVE A SIX CYLINDER, 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WE WERE PASSING A SEMI TRUCK ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DEMONSTRATED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. APPLYING THE BRAKE AND SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL DID NOT STOP THE ACCELERATION. OUR ONLY RECOURSE WAS TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP BY TURNING OFF THE KEY. IF THERE HAD BEEN A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED FROM HERTZ CORP. DURING THE TEST DRIVE WE NOTICED A HESITATION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 25 AND 45 MPH. WE ALSO DROVE ANOTHER 2007 CAMRY WITH HIGHER MILEAGE AND IT DID NOT HAVE THE HESITATION PROBLEM. WE ASKED HERTZ TO HAVE A TOYOTA DEALER CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM. THE COMPUTER WAS 'FIXED' WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED SO IT WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER. EVERYTHING WAS 'OK'. THE STATEMENT WAS MADE BY THAT TOYOTA SERVICE ADVISER THAT THE COMPUTER USES A PROGRAM TO DETERMINE THE DRIVING HABITS OF EACH DRIVER AND THE HESITATION PROBLEM WOULD 'SELF CORRECT'. YEAH RIGHT. WE PURCHASED THE LOWER MILEAGE VEHICLE, AND HAVE DRIVEN ALMOST ANOTHER 5,000 MILES, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM DID NOT 'SELF CORRECT'; IN FACT IT APPEARS TO HAVE WORSENED. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN TAKEN TO A THIRD TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON MARCH 24, 2008 WITH THE SAME VERBAL FOOTWORK THAT IT'S A DRIVE-BY-WIRE SYSTEM AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. SOME DAY I MAY NEED TO ACCELERATE HARD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT OR WHATEVER AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE INSTANT ACCELERATION INSTEAD OF A 1-3 SECOND DELAY. CONSIDERING THE HIGH TECH SYSTEMS AVAILABLE TO THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY, I FIND IT UNCONSCIONABLE THAT TOYOTA CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I'VE REVIEWED THE NHTSA COMPLAINTS WEB SITE, EDMONDS, AND OTHER SITES AND FIND THIS PROBLEM IS PERVASIVE WITH OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES. I'M REQUESTING THAT A DEFECTS INVESTIG

HESITATION, SURGE. *TR

IN A FRONT IN CRASH, AT ABOUT 45 - 50 MPH, THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T NOT DEPLOY ON A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY CE WITH 16,500 MILES. THE CAMRY WAS TOTALED BY INSURANCE ADJUSTER. THE DRIVER WAS WEARING A SET BELT, WHICH PROVIDED SOME SAFETY PREVENTION, BUT DRIVER RECEIVED SEVERAL BROKEN BONES IN RIB AREA AND A STRAINED NECK. *TR

BRAKES CLIPS (SHAMS) HAVE BEEN REPLACED 2X IN LESS THAN 35,000 MILES. FIRST REPLACEMENT WAS AT 14,000 MILES OR SO. VEHICLE MAKES LOUD SQUEALING NOISE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS (5-40MPH). AT LATEST REPAIR (MARCH 2008), DEALER MECHANIC STATED THAT THEY HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THEM FOR FAILURE. I AM CONVINCED THAT SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH THE ROTORS THOUGH---THUS AFFECTING THE BRAKE PADS, SHAMS, ETC. DEALER MECHANIC CLAIMS THAT THE CLIPS/SHAMS ARE OF POOR QUALITY AND THAT'S WHY THEY KEEP FAILING. I ASKED WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY FAIL AGAIN (I'LL BE OVER MY WARRANTY)--HE STATED THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM THEN. WOW--HOW NICE TO HAVE A DEFECTIVE PART REPLACED 2X UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEN TOYOTA IS SCOTT-FREE IF IT HAPPENS A 3RD TIME NOW. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY COMPUTER "SOFTWARE" RE-INSTALLED 2X TO ATTEMPT TO FIX A LACK OF ACCELERATION. SEVERAL TIMES (MAKING A LEFT TURN) WHILE STARTING FROM A STOP, THE CAR WILL HESITATE FOR 2-4 SECONDS, GIVING APPROACHING CARS ENOUGH TIME TO COME CLOSE TO HITTING MY CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND AM NOT IN A FINANCIAL POSITION TO TRADE IT IN YET OR SELL IT OUTRIGHT. I OWE TOO MUCH ON THE LOAN YET TO DO SO, MAKING IT A DIFFICULT DECISION WITH MY FAMILY/CHILDREN. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE SLOW ACCELERATION IS MORE SO IN WARM WEATHER. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO FLARE-UP OVER WINTERTIME. COINCIDENCE? I ALSO WANTED TO MENTION THAT THE LAST TIME MY SOFTWARE WAS RE-SET, ON THE WAY HOME, THE ENGINE BEGAN RO RACE AND IT FELT LIKE A BRICK WAS ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE ENGINE RACED FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND THEN FELT LIKE IT "SHIFTED" BACK TO NORMAL RPM'S. I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL WHEN THIS HAPPENED. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, V-6, IN JULY 2006. IN NOVEMBER 2006, I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. VERY OFTEN, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR, THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES, THE TACHOMETER JUMPS AROUND 1500 AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE FOR A SHORT TIME. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO THE DEALER, 4 OR 5 TIMES, AND HAVE GONE ON TEST DRIVES. WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENED, I WAS TOLD THAT'S THE WAY THE TRANSMISSION WORKS. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NO SOFTWARE UPDATE OR TSB FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE LAST PERSON I SPOKE WITH (LAST MONTH), TOLD ME IT IS A DESIGN FLAW, BUT TOYOTA HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE I DON'T ALWAYS GET THE ACCELERATION THAT I NEED. CONSUMER REPORTS REPORTED ON THIS PROBLEM IN THEIR DECEMBER 2007 ISSUE. THEY RECEIVED NEGATIVE INFORMATION FROM READERS ABOUT THE V-6 TRANSMISSION. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AT THIS TIME. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE, 5-SPEED, 4-CYLINDER HAS A DRIVETRAIN PROBLEM. WHEN MOVING SLOWLY FROM A STOP, ATTEMPTING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC REQUIRING RAPID ACCELERATION RESULTS IN NO RESPONSE/ACCELERATION FROM THE ENGINE. THE CAR CAN TAKE UP TO 5-SECONDS TO RESPOND. THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND I WONDER WHY I HAVEN'T ALREADY BEEN KILLED IN THIS CAR!! THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION. TOYOTA SIMPLY SAYS "THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS, IT'S TRYING TO ANTICIPATE YOUR ACTIONS." THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE ANSWER. THE TRANSMISSION I AM TOLD IS A CONTROLLED ELECTRONICALLY AND TOYOTA APPARENTLY HAS SCREWED UP THE SOFTWARE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CAR. *TR

THE CAR ACCELERATED QUICKLY ON ITS OWN, WITH ENGINE RACING, AND COULD NOT BE STOPPED EASILY, RESULTING IN A COLLISION WITH A TREE. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RACE ON IT'S OWN, WITH NO ONE PRESSING THE THROTTLE, UNTIL THE IGNITION WAS SWITCHED OFF. THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY A LOOSE FLOOR MAT, THE FLOOR MAT WAS SECURED AND NOT ANYWHERE NEAR THE PEDAL. IN FEBRUARY I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA SAYING THAT THEY BELIEVE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I CALLED TOYOTA TO TALK TO THE PERSON WHO SENT THAT LETTER AND REPEATED THE FACTS AS STATED ABOVE AND SHE TOLD ME THAT I "MAY BE MISTAKEN." THE FACT THAT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RACE AFTER THE CRASH IS IMPORTANT, SINCE SOME MAY THINK THAT I WAS PUSHING THE THROTTLE HERSELF. ONCE I GOT OUT OF THE CAR SHE OBVIOUSLY COULDN'T BE PUSHING THE PETAL HERSELF. THE ENGINE DIDN'T STOP RACING UNTIL I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. THEN, WHEN THE TOW TRUCK CAME, THE DRIVER RE-STARTED THE CAMRY TO POSITION IT FOR TOWING. WHEN HE DID, THE ENGINE RAN NORMALLY. WHEN A CAR TAKES OFF BY ITSELF, IT HAS A PROBLEM. THEREFORE THIS CAR, AND MAYBE ALL 2007 CAMRYS, MAYBE ALL TOYOTAS, HAVE A PROBLEM. HOWEVER WE DROVE THIS CAR FOR MONTHS AND MANY MILES WITHOUT A SYMPTOM; IT APPARENTLY TAKES SOME KIND OF PARTICULAR COMBINATION OF CIRCUMSTANCES FOR THE PROBLEM TO COME OUT. NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THIS INCIDENT, BUT THIS BEHAVIOR COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD FIND OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED AND TRY TO FIX IT, INSTEAD OF TRYING T

WE OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE AND HONESTLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT, OUR EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN TERRIBLE. APPROXIMATELY NOVEMBER OF 07, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE CONEJO GRADE IN CAMARILLO, CALIFORNIA AND STARTED TO FEEL LIKE I WAS LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR, I COULDN'T STEER IT AND HIT THE BRAKES REALLY HARD TO COME TO A STOP WITHOUT HITTING ANY OTHER VEHICLES. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA WHO EXPLAINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE REASON WHY I COULDN'T STEER MY CAR WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH HOW THE TRANSMISSION ROTATES THE WHEELS AND ONE WHEEL WAS POINTED TOWARDS THE RIGHT AND ONE WAS WHERE IT SHOULD BE. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE AND I WAS VERY UPSET ESPECIALLY AFTER HEARING THAT I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. AT THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT MY BRAKES WERE WARPED AND I HAD TO PAY $180.00 TO FIX THEM, APPARENTLY WHEN I HIT MY BREAKS REAL HARD TO TRY AND STOP THE CAR WITHOUT CRASHING I WARPED THE BREAKS. THIS WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY. I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK APPROXIMATELY A WEEK LATER AND WAS TOLD THEY PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE ENGINE STILL DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT IT WAS LUNGING. SO I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK AND THEY DID A TEST DRIVE WITH ME IN THE CAR AND OF COURSE IT DIDN'T DO IT. I HAVE HAD OFF AND ON ISSUES AND NOW MY MAINTENANCE LIGHT IS ON, AFTER BEING AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE LAST 10 DAYS WITH OTHER ISSUES. I HAVE NO TRUST OR FAITH AT THIS POINT WITH THEM. MOST OF ALL, THE CAR DOING IT'S OWN DRI

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE VISION IN ALL THE WINDOWS WAS RESTRICTED DUE TO THE GLARE OF THE SUN. THE WINDOWS WERE TINTED A GREENISH COLOR. THE DEALER REMOVED THE TINT; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE TINT WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAS PICTURES OF THE REFLECTIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,500. UPDATED 4/11/08 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED DEPENDING UPON THE LIGHT CONDITIONS A DIFFERENT PERCENTAGE OF FAILURE. UPDATED 04/11/08 *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ON DECEMBER 24, 2006. ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2008 I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO REVERSE AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS, THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE. IT REVVED BUT DIDN'T MOVE. I SHIFTED TO DRIVE AND SECOND WITH THE SAME RESULT. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO TOYOTA IN HEMPSTEAD, NY ON FEB. 18. THEY FIXED IT BY "REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER,: AND RETURNED THE CAR TO ME, SAYING IT WAS FINE. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23. I ASKED ABOUT GETTING A NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I HAVE READ A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION IS BAD. I WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO RECALL AND REPLACE ALL OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS. I WOULD HATE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR FOR ANYONE ELSE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF A TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. *TR

TERRIBLE HESITATION PROBLEM IN GENERAL ACCELERATION AND OVERALL LACK OF ENGINE POWER IN 2007 4 CYLINDER TOYOTA CAMRY. VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW 09/12/07, CURRENTLY HAS 6,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. A TOYOTA TSB WAS PERFORMED AT DEALERSHIP. DID NOT CORRECT PROBLEM. THIS IS A SCARY SITUATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MANEUVER IN ENTRANCE RAMP INTERSTATE TRAFFIC AND AND INSTANCE WHEN INSTANT ACCELERATION IS REQUIRED. THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN DAILY BY MY WIFE, AND WE ARE BOTH FEARFUL AND CONCERNED THAT SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE OF THIS CAMRY. *TR

SINCE DAY 1 CAR HAS BEEN GARBAGE. ENGINE HESITATES ALMOST EVERYTIME I NEED TO SPEED UP TO CHANGE LANES AND CAR HAS BEEN SHAKING WHEN I BRAKE COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY. WORST CAR EVER AND DEALERSHIP HAS CHARGE ME EVERYTIME I BRING T IN TO GET THIS CHECKED. THEY SAYS "THIS IS HOW IT IS MANUFACTURED!" ABD THEN CHARGE ME FOR MAKING THEM CHECK MY CAR AND NOTHING BEING WRONG WITH IT, BUT CLEARLY THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. MY OLD 1992 MERCURY SABLE NEVER JERKED AND WENT TO RANDOM GEARS NEITHER SHOULD THIS BRAND NEW CAR. I HAVE NOW HAD THIS CAR FOR ALMOST ONE AND A HLA YEARS AND NOW I FINALLY AM SICK OF THE SERVICE AFTER I ALMOST GOT IN A HUGE HUGE ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ENGINE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM! *TR

THE CAR HESITATES UN-EXPECTANTLY WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM AND IS RANDOM. SEVERAL TIMES THIS CONDITION HAS NEARLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. DEALER CANNOT FIX PROBLEM BUT ACKNOWLEDGES IT IS A PROBLEM. *TR

2007 CAMRY TRANSMISSION BOLTS, JERKS, SNAP YOUR BODY AND AT 40 MILES AN HOUR WITH FOOT OFF OF GAS PEDAL CONTINUES TO KEEP MOVING AT ALMOST SAME 40 MILE HR SPEED FOR MANY BLOCKS. DANGEROUS BECAUSE BRAKE PEDAL HAS TO BE PUSHED HARDER THAN NORMAL IN ORDER TO STOP CAR FROM MOVING. MANY 2007 CAMRY'S HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS IF YOU WILL JUST CHECK INTERNET REPORTS. *TR

TRANSMISSIONS PAUSES BEFORE ENGAGING. *TR

TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 WAS TAKING SEVERAL TIMES TO DEALER DUE TO HESITATION UPON ACCELERATION. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT IT IS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE 2007 CAMRY'S AND IT NOT FIXABLE. WE WENT TO ARBITRATION AND PETITION FOR EXCHANGE OR REPAIR WAS DENIED. MY WIFE AND I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR IN HIGH SPEED HIGHWAYS AND NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE ENOUGH TO GET INTO INCOMING TRAFFIC. WE HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEMS AND ARE AFRAID OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

PURCHASE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, APRIL 19, 2007 FROM KING TOYOTA,DEERFIELD BEACH, FLORIDA. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE CAR BEGAN HAVING SHIFTING PROBLEMS. IT HESITATED AND WHEN DRIVING AROUND 40 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS RELEASED, IT JERKED AND WHIPPED YOUR BODY. THEN, WHEN GIVING IT THE GAS, IT HESITATED AND THEN JERKED FORWARD. COMPLAINED AND COMPLAINED AND WAS TOLD THAT MAYBE WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN FOR ITS 3000 MILE CHECK-UP, TOYOTA WOULD HAVE A TECH BULLETIN FOR REPAIR. THE TECH BULLETIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL AFTER I CONTACTED TOYOTA DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD REQUEST TECH BULLETIN U660E. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A NEW CHIP WAS INSTALLED THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. ABOUT THE EARLY PART OF OCTOBER IT BEGAN TO CHANGE. IN ADDITION TO HESITATING AND JERKING, IT NOW KEEPS GOING AT 40 MILES AN HOUR EVEN WHEN THE FOOT IS TAKEN OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL. IT WILL KEEP GOING TWO OR THREE BLOCK FROM 40 MILES AN HOUR , SLOWLY DOWN TO 30 MILES AN HOUR. IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC, YOU MUST PUT FULL POWER ON THE BRAKE PEDAL OR YOU WILL CONTINUE TO GO AT THE SAME RATE OF SPEED. VERY DANGEROUS AS WELL AS WEARING BRAKES MUCH FASTER THAN NORMAL. IT STILL HESITATES AND JERKS WHEN APPLYING THE GAS PEDAL BUT NOW, INSTEAD OF JERKING YOU WHEN RELEASING THE GAS, IT JUST KEEPS GOING. DEALER HAS NO ANSWER AND TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE WITHOUT A SOLUTION. CAN'T TOYOTA BE PRESSURED INTO SOLVING THE

FRONT END SHIMMIED WHEN BRAKING. FOUND FRONT TIRES WERE CUPPED. HAD JUST ROTATED TIRES, LEAVING ON A TRIP, SO ROTATED TIRES BACK TO FRONT. RETURNING ON TRIP, CAR FRONT SHOOK BADLY WHEN BRAKING GOING DOWNHILL IN MOUNTAINS. TOOK TO DEALER, THEY SAID (BRIDGESTONE) TIRES SHOWED CUPPING. REPLACED FRONT BRAKE LININGS AND CAR SEEMED TO HANDLE OK. THREE MONTHS LATER, ANOTHER TRIP THROUGH MOUNTAINS, AGAIN FRONT END SHIMMIED BADLY WHEN BRAKING GOING DOWN STEEP INCLINE. DEALER SAID ALL TIRES SHOWED CUPPING, BUT BRAKES, CV JOINTS, BEARINGS WERE OK. SUGGESTED I REPLACE TIRES (BUT DID NOT TRY TO SELL ME ANY???) INSTALLED 4 NEW MICHELIN TIRES AND CAR HANDLES GREAT ALTHOUGH I STILL FEEL SOME DRAGGING IN THE BRAKES. ANOTHER TRIP TO DEALER, PAID FOR A BRAKE INSPECTION AND DEALER SAID BRAKES OK 80 % REMAINING WEAR. CAR NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, TOLD DEALER I FELT THEY WERE STALLING ME ON REPAIRS UNTIL WARRANTY EXPIRED. THEY SAID REPAIR RECORD WOULD SHOW PROBLEM IN PAST IF CONDITION CONTINUED. DID NOT SAY WHAT CONDITION THEY WERE REFERRING TOO. FEEL THEY ARE GIVING ME RUN AROUND ON STEERING PROBLEM, BUT AS THEY SAID, THERE ARE NO MOUNTAINS AROUND HERE THEY CAN TEST DRIVE. *TR

WHILE CAR WAS IN FOR ROUTINE 25K SERVICE, DEALER ADVISED I NEEDED REAR BRAKE PADS. HAVE SINCE BEEN ADVISED BY TWO MECHANICS THAT INDICATES THERE'S A PROBLEM. DEALER HAS SINCE ADVISED A TSB WAS ISSUED FOR THIS YEAR/MODEL VEHICLE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN MARCH 2006. THIS NEW VEHICLE HAD SEVERAL DEFECTS INCLUDING THE REPLACEMENT OF A DASH BY THE DEALER AFTER DELIVERY. THE QUALITY OF THE BRAKE ROTORS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE UNSATISFACTORY. I HAVE HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 46,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD TWO INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS EVALUATE THE FACTORY ROTORS AND THEY BOTH COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION, POOR QUALITY ROTORS. IT'S NOT HOW THE VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED SINCE WE ARE NOT CAUSING ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THESE ROTORS TO WARP THE WAY THEY DO. WE DO NOT DRIVE OUR VEHICLES HARD, JUST TO CAUSE MORE MAINTENANCE EXPENSES. TOYOTA HAS PAID FOR REPLACING THE ROTORS ONCE. THEY HAVE ALSO CHARGED ME TWICE FOR THE SAME WORK AND I HAVE PAID TWICE TO ANOTHER AUTO SHOP. I TRIED TO FILE A COMPLAINT THROUGH TOYOTA AND THAT WAS USELESS. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A TOYOTA VEHICLE AGAIN. REAL SAD HOW THEY WERE HANDLING MY COMPLAINT. *TR

PURCHASED 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY 4 CYL. HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE CAR ACCELERATING SPEED. HAS HAPPENED OVER A DOZEN TIMES. IN OCTOBER WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET - CAR ACCELERATED AND I SWERVED TO MISS BOY ON BIKE (DAMAGE TO BUMPER) HIT CURB. ALSO, WHEN TRYING TO MERGE FROM STOP WILL HIT PEDAL - HESITATION CAR DOES NOT MOVE - HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT 3 TIMES. HAVE HAD CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP - THEY PRETEND THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR THEY HAD A MEETING FOR ALL NEW CAR OWNERS. FIVE COUPLES REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED IN DECEMBER FOR A CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM (HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH TOYTA - WHO ALSO DENY KNOWING OF ANY PROBLEMS - CONTACTED THEM BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT CAR - AFRAID TO DRIVE) - THE MANAGER SAID HE HAD HEARD OF NO SUCH COMPLAINTS. REMINDED HIM THAT MYSELF AND FIVE OTHER NEW CAR OWNERS HAD COMPLAINED TO HIM AT THE MEETING. TOYOTA IS GOING TO HAVE BIG PROBLEMS - MUST HAVE TOLD MANAGERS TO DENY ANY PROBLEMS!!!!! AS THEY THEMSELVES ARE DOING. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TOLD MY FAMILY THAT IF I AM IN A FATAL CAR ACCIDENT - I WANT THEM TO SUE TOYOTA. AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR. HAD CAR TO DEALERSHIP - SINCE THE TWO PROBLEMS I STATED ONLY HAPPEN SPORADICALLY - THEY SAID THEY TEST DROVE CAR AND SAW NO PROBLEMS. DON'T KNOW HOW FAR THEY TEST DROVE - MILEAGE AT PICKUP WAS THE EXACT SAME AS DROP OFF READING. CAR HAD SAME PROBLEMS ON THE WAY HOME - CAN YOU HELP ME AND ANY OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS. CAN'T AFFORD TO TRADE IN

ON SATURDAY 1/12/08 THE ACCELERATOR ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY STUCK TO THE FLOOR!! I PUMPED THE PEDAL A FEW TIMES BUT THAT DIDN'T FREE IT. I HAD TO SLIP IT INTO NEUTRAL AND CUT THE ENGINE. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COAST INTO A PARKING LOT BUT WAS HIGHLY UPSET! I LOOKED DOWN AND DID NOT SEE ANYTHING INTERFERING WITH THE PEDAL, SO I PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND STARTED IT UP AND PUMPED THE PEDAL AGAIN. IT SLOWLY CAME OUT. (IT FELT AS THOUGH HYDRAULIC PRESSURE HAD BEEN RELEASED.) I PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND SLOWLY PULLED FORWARD. IT SEEMED OK SO I DROVE IT SLOWLY STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER. WHEN I GOT THERE I TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. (IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHEN MY 68 YR. OLD MOTHER IN LAW WAS DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL IN THIS CAR AS SHE USUALLY DOES, I DON'T THINK SHE WOULD HAVE REACTED AS I DID!) THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME LESS THAN TWO HOURS LATER AND TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD ALREADY CHECKED MY CAR AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAID THEY THOUGHT MY CAR MAT HAD GOTTEN STUCK ON THE ACCELERATOR (NOT ONE OF THEIRS, BUT A VERY HEAVY THICK RUBBER ONE.) I EXPLAINED I HAD LOOKED DOWN TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS STUCK ONCE I HAD THE VEHICLE SAFELY STOPPED AND COULD SEE NOTHING INTERFERING WITH THE PEDAL! THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE BASING THIS ASSUMPTION ON THE FACT THAT THERE WAS AN OUTLINE FOR MY CAR MAT NEAR THE GAS PEDAL. I TOLD THEM, ADAMANTLY, THAT I DIDN'T CARE WHERE THE OUTLINE WAS, THAT I HAD VISUALLY INSPECTED IT AND THAT NOTHING WAS STUCK! THEY INFORMED ME THAT, THAT WAS THEI

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS A HESITATION AND TRANSMISSION NOISE PROBLEM DURING ACCELERATING AT STARTUP AND WHEN YOU RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR AND STEP ON IT AGAIN. THIS BECAME NOTICEABLE A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER WE DROVE IT HOME. I BROUGHT IT BACK FOR SERVICE SEVERAL DAYS AFTER. THE DEALER SAID EVERY THING CHECKED OUT. THEY DID NOT TEST DRIVE IT BECAUSE THEY SAID IT CHECKED OUT. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF TRYING DIFFERENT GASOLINES AND DIFFERENT OCTANES RATINGS FROM DIFFERENT COMPANIES I GAVE UP. THEN WE TOOK A TRIP FROM OUR HOME IN TEXAS TO A OUR HOME TOWN IN LOUISIANA. I HAD TO FILL UP IN MY HOMETOWN AND THAT'S WHEN I DISCOVERED THE POSSIBLE PROBLEM. THE GAS IN HOUSTON TEXAS HAS ETHANOL IN IT. THE GAS IN MY HOMETOWN DOES NOT. WHEN I FILLED UP IN MY HOME TOWN WITH REGULAR UNLEADED FROM EXXON, I NOTICED THAT THE HESITATION AND TRANSMISSION NOISE WAS BARELY NOTICEABLE AFTER THE FIRST TANK FULL. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO MY HOMETOWN IT BECAME QUITE CLEAR THAT IT IS THE GAS WITH ETHANOL THAT'S CAUSING THE HESITATION AND TRANSMISSION NOISE. THE CARS BEING BUILT NOW ARE SUPPOSE TO ALL RUN ON ETHANOL, BUT IT OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT, " IT CHECKS OUT ACCORDING TO SPEC." I WAS GOING UP AN ON RAMP ONTO THE FREEWAY AND WAS ACCELERATING WHEN I NOTICED A CAR CHANGE INTO THE RIGHT LANE. I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO SLOW FOR THE CAR TO GET PASS. I THEN PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN TO GET UP SPEED. WHEN I DID THAT, THE CAR DECELERATED ABOUT FIVE MI

ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 CAMRY SEDAN LE I AM FEELING AND HEARING VIBRATION AND NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE SEAT THIS HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED TO TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, THE DEALER AND MOTOR SALES TOLD ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL WITH THESE TYPES OF CARS. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE I HAVE RESEARCHED ON CONSUMER REPORTS AND FOUND ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I NEED THIS RESOLVED AND NEED TO KNOW IF IT THE TRANSMISSION SHOULDN'T THIS BE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY? I KNOW TOYOTA DOES NOT WANT TO HEAR THIS COMPLAINT AS IT WOULD INTERFERE IN THERE GREAT REPORT ON HOW THEY ARE A GREAT GAS SAVING CAR, BUT WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED HOPEFULLY NOT A FATALITY. *TR

I OWN A 2007 CAMRY AND IT HAS A TERRIBLE HESITATION WITH THE ENGINE THAT STALLS ALOT ESPECIALLY PULLING ON INTERSTATES WITH FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. IT ALSO HAS THE SAME ISSUES WITH NORMAL DRIVING IN TOWN. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THAT I AM PAYING A GOOD BIT OF MONEY FOR. I FEEL I CAN'T SELL IT KNOWING IT HAS A PROBLEM AND THE TRADE IN VALUE IS TERRIBLE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL ALL THESE CARS AND FIX THE ISSUE OR GIVE THE CONSUMERS THERE MONEY BACK. *TR

SEVERE HESITATION IN THROTTLE AND TRANSMISSION OF THE 2007 CAMRY CAUSING NEAR T-BONE ACCIDENTS WHEN YOU GIVE IT GAS AND GO NOWHERE. ALSO WHEN TRAVELING, WHEN YOU GIVE IT GAS TO GET INTO ANOTHER LANE, YOU GO NOWHERE FOR A DELAYED PERIOD THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU LAUNCH FORWARD AFTER ITS TOO LATE ALMOST RUNNING INTO CARS IN FRONT OF YOU. APPEARS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS CONFUSED. MANY NEAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. CONTACTED TOYOTA WHO AGREED TO "FLASH" THE COMPUTER OR RESET IT. THIS RESET HELPED AT FIRST, AT TAKE OFF ONLY, HOWEVER NOW IS BACK TO WHAT IT WAS DOING BEFORE. CONTACTED TOYOTA AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS... *TR

PURCHASED 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 17K MILES ON JULY 3RD, 2007. ON 12/28/2007 HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES AT 29K MILES DUE TO LACK OF TIRE TREAD. THE TIRES SHOULD LAST AT LEAST FOR 40-50K SINCE THAT IS THEIR TREAD WARRANTY. WHEN RESEARCHING TIRERACK.COM, THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THESE TIRES, BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL400. (AT LEAST 90+ COMPLAINTS JUST ON THIS WEBSITE.) THE COST TO REPLACE WAS $433 VERSUS WHAT BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE WARRANTY QUOTE OF $469.*CN

WHEN THE CAR IS IDLING (I.E. AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, IN DRIVEWAY, ETC...), THE CABIN FILLS WITH THE EXHAUST ODOR. IT SEEMS AS IF THE EXHAUST FUMES FILL THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, EVEN WITH THE WINDOWS UP. *TR
