2007 Toyota Camry complaints

2007 CAMRY HESITATION. FIXED TWICE SO FAR AT DEALERSHIP. DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC, OCCURS ALL OF THE TIME. *TR****

I'M WRITING TO DETAIL MY ISSUES WITH MY 07 TOYOTA CAMRY V6. I HAVE HAD IT ONE YEAR AND THE HESITATION UPON ACCELERATING IS STILL THERE EVEN AFTER A SUPPOSED 'FIX' BY MY SELLING DEALER. THE TRANNY SOMETIMES HESITATES AS MUCH AS 2-3 SECONDS B4 ACTUALLY MOVING FORWARD AS INTENDED. I ALSO HAVE EXTREME FRUSTRATION WITH THE INTERIOR PLASTICS. THE DASH RATTLES MORE THAN MY OLD 97 PONTIAC. THE OTHER MAJOR ISSUE IS THE SOFTNESS OF THE DRIVER SEAT FOAM. I AM DUE IN 2 DAYS FOR A RE-FOAMING OF THE SEAT. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL FIRM IT UP A BIT. ONE LAST POINT IS THE TIRES WORE OUT BY 13K ON THEM MAKING ME SPEND OVER $300.00 FOR NEW RUBBER. NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A $25,000 CAR. *TR

THE CRUISE CONTROL/TRANSMISSION ON MY 2007 CAMRY CAUSES THE CAR TO OPERATE IN AN UNSAFE MANNER. WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED, DUE TO ITS SENSITIVITY, THE TRANSMISSION GOES THROUGH A SERIES OF ABRUPT DOWNSHIFTS CAUSING THE CAR TO ACCELERATE AND EXCEED THE CRUISE CONTROL SPEED SETTING. AT THIS POINT, THE CAR LOOSES SPEED AND THE TRANSMISSION THEN SHIFTS BACK INTO OVERDRIVE. THE DOWNSHIFTING STARTS AGAIN UNTIL THE SPEED CONTROL SETTING IS EXCEEDED. ON A LONG HILL, IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO SEQUENCE BETWEEN OVERDRIVE AND THIRD GEAR FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. THE EXCEEDING OF THE CRUISE CONTROL SETTING IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT WITH TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT HE CAN DO NOTHING UNTIL TOYOTA COMES UP WITH A FIX. I HAVE WRITTEN TWO LETTERS TO TOYOTA ASKING THEM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THEY HAVE NOT REPLIED TO EITHER LETTER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE ENTERED THE LANE AND PUSHED THE FRONT OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE INTO A GUARDRAIL. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT; HOWEVER, HER FACE STRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL. HER RIGHT EYE WAS BRUISED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE VIN AND ENGINE SIZE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 18,000.

SPEED CONTROL IS UNSTABLE. WHEN THE SPEED CONTROL IS ON AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE SLIGHTEST GRADE I.E. FROM AN OVERPASS, CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO DOWNSHIFT ONE OR TWO GEARS. THEN THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE BEYOND THE SETSPEED AND THEN UPSHIFT. THE CAR WILL THEN BE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED AGAIN, DOWNSHIFT ONE OR 2 GEARS, AND ONCE AGAIN ACCELERATE BEYOND THE SET SPEED, REPEATING OVER AND OVER AND WORSENING EACH CYCLE. DRIVING THE SAME ROAD WITH THE SPEED CONTROL OFF IS RELATIVELY NORMAL. THIS CAR ALSO HAS A MODERATE HESITATION PROBLEM. PULLING OUT FROM A SIDE STREET, THE CAR BARELY ACCELERATES UNTIL RPMS REACH 2200, THEN ACCELERATES NORMALLY. THIS HAS BEEN SINCE NEW. COASTING DOWN A LONG GRADE WITH SPEED CONTROL OFF, THE CAR WILL SURGE. RETURNED TO THE TOYOTA DEALER WHO SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. *TR

NEAR DEATH INCIDENT BECAUSE MY 2007 4 CYL. CAMRY LE HESITATED WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE AT AN INTERSECTION. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE ACCELERATION/TRANSMISSION. WHEN I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, I WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDED TO BE "BROKEN IN." *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 CAMRY SE V6 AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT. TRANSMISSION SLIPS, CREAKING DASH AND WINDSHIELD, A PILLAR AIRBAG COVER REPLACED 3 TIMES, CENTER CONSOLE STACK DOES NOT LINE UP, DASH IS NOT FLUSH NEXT TO A & B PILLARS (HAVEN'T SEEN ONE YET THAT WAS), KNOCKING NOISE IN REAR STRUT TOWER (FIXED AFTER TWO DEALER VISITS, THEY ADDED SOUND INSULATION), DRIVER SIDE ARMREST FABRIC PEELING OFF (SEEN AT FIRST DELIVERY OF VEHICLE ), RADIO HEAD UNIT FREEZES UP RANDOMLY (DEALER CANNOT FIX BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE), STEERING IS VERY LOOSE AND VEHICLE DRIFTS ON ROAD (SAFETY CONCERN, DEALER STATED CHARACTERISTIC OF TIRE), FRONT GRILL LOOSE ON RIGHT SIDE (DEALER FIXED) AND SEAT PLASTIC RAIL COVERS BROKEN UPON DELIVERY (DEALER FIXED). VEHICLE ALSO IDLES ROUGH IN COLD WEATHER (DEALER STATED BAD GAS).TWO TO THREE SECOND DELAY IN ACCELERATION (DEALER STATED THIS IS NORMAL). EACH DEALER VISIT REQUIRED ME TO LEAVE THE CAR ONCE FOR ORDERING THE PART AND A SECOND TIME FOR INSTALLATION. I HAVE WASTED WAY TOO MUCH TIME AT DEALERSHIPS HAVING MY CAR REPAIRED TO EVER CONSIDER BUYING ANOTHER TOYOTA AGAIN. OVER ALL I SHOULD HAVE TESTED OTHER CARS BEFORE BUYING TOYOTA BASED ON ITS RELIABILITY ALONE. *TR

I BOUGHT A TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID 2007 AT THE END OF OCT. 2006. I ALSO BOUGHT A PRE-PAID MAINTENANCE SERVICE. YESTERDAY, DEC. 6 2007, I TOOK MY CAMRY FOR THE 5TH REGULAR SERVICE FOR 25,000 MILES. I COMMUTE TO A DISTANT WORK, SO I PUT ON A LOT OF HIGHWAY MILES. THE SERVICE MANAGER FORM THE FOLSOM LAKE TOYOTA DEALER CALLED ME TO INFORM ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE ALL OF MY FOUR TIRES. HE SAID THAT THE TREAD WAS ALL WORN OUT. I WAS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED ABOUT THE EXCEPTIONALLY ACCELERATED WEAR OF BRIDGESTONE TIRES. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO TALK TO THE TIRE COMPANY CUSTOMER SERVICE. THERE THEIR EXPLANATION WAS THAT BECAUSE OF TOYOTA'S SPECIFICATIONS, THEY PRODUCED TIRES THAT HAD SOFTER RUBBER FOR BETTER RIDERSHIP. IT MAKES THEM LAST MUCH LESS THAN THEIR STORE TIRES. BY THE WAY, THE TIRES, TURANZA EL400 IN THEIR STORE WILL LAST ABOUT 80,000MILES. THE SAME BRAND AND SAME MODEL TIRES WILL HAVE TWO DIFFERENT PERFORMANCE. I DID NOT PAY ANY CLOSER LOOK ON THE TIRES BECAUSE I ONLY PUT 25,000 MILES ON THEM. IT IS ALSO MOSTLY FROM HIGHWAY DRIVE. I SPOKE WITH TOYOTA CONSUMER REPRESENTATIVE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBLE AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT UP TO THE TIRE COMPANY. I COULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO PROBLEMS BECAUSE NEVER EXPECTED OR SUSPECTED ANY BAD TIRES. I HAD MANY DIFFERENT CARS FROM DIFFERENT COMPANIES, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT A BRAND NEW CAR TIRES LASTING ONLY 25,000 MILES. A SALES PERSON FROM THE BRIDGESTONE STORE IN CITRUS HEIGHT SAID THAT IT IS NOT NEW THAT HE SEES OFTEN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CAMRY LE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TAKE OFF SPEED WAS VERY SLOWLY. THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE TO A NORMAL SPEED WHEN THE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ACCELERATION FUNCTIONS WAS EQUIPPED WITH A FLYBYWIRE THAT IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE PEDAL THEREFORE ACCELERATION WOULD BE SLOWER; THEY CONCLUDED THE OCCURRENCE WAS NORMAL. THE CURRENT MILEAGE AS 4,200 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 800. UPDATED 01-11-08. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED WOULD LIKE A RECALL ON THIS PART. UPDATED 12/31/07 *TR

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. CONSTANT ARGUING/DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN DEALER, ME, AND TOYOTA CORPORATE ABOUT HOW THIS SYSTEM WORKS/IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. DEALER SUSPECTS MY TIRE PEOPLE DAMAGE THE SENSOR. I AM INCLINED TO THINK EITHER THE SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY/CONSISTENTLY OR THE DEALER MECHANIC DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO PROGRAM THE SENSOR CODES. DEALER HAS CONTACTED THEIR TOYOTA SUPPORT FOR CLARIFICATION AND LEARNED LOTS FROM THEM BECAUSE OF MY PERSISTENCE AND CONTINUED MALFUNCTIONS. IN A NUTSHELL, THE MONITORING WILL NOT REPORT A PRESSURE PROBLEM UNLESS THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN 20+ MILES IN A SINGLE START. I ONLY GO OVER 20 MILES IN A SINGLE ENGINE START ABOUT EVERY THREE MONTHS. SO, IT SEEMS LIKE THE MONITORING SYSTEM IS NOT PROCESSING THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION IN SUCH A WAY THAT IS RELIABLE/MEANINGFUL. FURTHER, IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS DATA IS A RECORDED ELEMENT IN THE BLACK BOX FEATURE OF THE CAR (HOW FAST, SEAT BELT USE, OTHER DRIVING INTERPRETATIONS). IF IT IS, HOW CAN THAT DATA ELEMENT BE CONSIDERED AS A POTENTIAL FACTOR (OR NOT) IF THE MONITORING SYSTEM ITSELF DOES CANNOT BE TRUSTED IF DRIVING LESS THAN 20 MILES IN ANY SINGLE ENGINE START?? I DO HAVE DIFFERENT SENSORS IN MY SUMMER AND WINTER TIRES; MY RECENTLY REMOUNTED WINTER TIRES (ON THEIR OWN WHEELS) WORKED FINE UNTIL I DROVE OVER 20 MILES LAST WEEK. BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, TO ARGUE ABOUT THE MONITORING SYSTEM, RECEIVER, SENSORS, AND MY TIRE GUYS. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE 4CYLINDER IN AUGUST 2006 AND 4 TIMES IT HAS RAN OUT OF OIL. THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING AND HAS ME BRINGING IN MY CAR EVERY 500 MILES TO CHECK THE OIL LEVELS. *TR

MY SON WAS DRIVING MY 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY AND WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END ACCIDENT THE CAR WAS A WRECK. THE AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED. LUCKY HE WAS WEARING HIS SEAT BELT. *TR

ON OCT 13,2007 MY 4YR OLD DAUGHTER AND I WERE INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION AT LESS THAN 10M/H AND ALL THREE AIRBAGS IN MY 2007 RED CAMRY SC DEPLOYED AND THE KNEE AIRBAG GAVE MY RIGHT LOWER LEG A BAD BLOOD CLOT WHERE I HAD TO MISS WORK FROM OVER A MONTH. I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY AIRBAG RECALLS TILL AFTER THE CRASH AND I HAD PURCHASED TO 2007 CAMRYS. I WAS ONLY NOTIFIED OF THE FLOORMAT RECALL. I WAS HIGHLY UPSET ESPECIALLY SINCE I WORK FOR THE JAPANESE AUTOMAKER. I CAN TELL YOU SAFETY AND DEFECTS ARE NOT A HIGH PRIORITY AT TOYOTA IN KENTUCKY THERE ARE SEVERAL UNSAFE THINGS GOING ON. QUANTITY IS OVER QUALITY. *TR

TRANSMISSION HESITATES WHEN DOWNSHIFTING AND THEN OVER-COMPENSATES. VERY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE NEARLY BEEN REAR-ENDED DURING HESITATION WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY A STALL IN TRAFFIC AND THE OVERCOMPENSATION CAUSES ONE TO NEARLY REAR-END THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. *TR

I AM REPORTING THE SAME STAGNATION ISSUE THAT MANY OTHERS REPORTED ON 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MARCH 2006 AND STARTED NOTICING THIS ISSUE WITHIN A MONTH OF DRIVING. SO FAR I HAD AT LEAST 12 INSTANCES OF THIS. IT HAPPENS WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE SUDDENLY TO A HIGHER SPEED. THE CAR STALLS FOR 20-40 SECONDS BEFORE IT SPEED UP. MANY TIME IT PULLED ME INTO RISK WHILE AT MERGING TO A MAIN ROAD TRAFFIC AND AT INTERSECTIONS DEALER HAS REPLACED A TRANSMISSION CONTROL COMPONENT BUT THIS IS STILL HAPPENING. THE EMAIL I GOT FROM TOYOTA FOR MY QUERY SAYS THAT "...THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MONITORS THE EVERYDAY DRIVING HABITS OF THE OPERATOR AND THEN TAILORS ITSELF TO MAKE THE MOST EFFICIENT GEARSHIFTS. ON RARE OCCASIONS WHEN THE OPERATOR FULLY DEPRESSES THE PEDAL OR DEPRESSES THE PEDAL IN AN AGGRESSIVE MANNER, THE SYSTEM MAY EXPERIENCE A DELAY IN DETERMINING HOW TO MAKE THE OPTIMAL GEARSHIFT. AT THIS TIME TOYOTA HAS NO PLANS TO MAKE CHANGES TO THE SHIFT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TRANSMISSION. TO MINIMIZE THIS CONDITION, WE RECOMMEND TRYING A FIRM YET GRADUAL APPLICATION OF THE ACCELERATOR..." I AM USING THE CAR FOR MORE THAN 18 MONTHS AND THE 'ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MONITOR' HAS NOT SUCCEEDED IN FINDING MY NORMAL DRIVING HABIT AND DO THE NORMAL TRANSMISSION SHIFT YET AS EVERY DRIVER EXPECTS. SINCE TOYOTA HAS NO PLAN TO DO ANY ACTION ON THIS I URGE YOU TO DO SOMETHING FOR US. *TR

NOTICED DANGEROUS HESITATION/DOWNSHIFTING ON MY 2007 4CLY CAMRY DAY AFTER PURCHASE, CALLED SERVICE DEPT TOLD THEM OF PROBLEMS ON DAY 3, CLOSED SUNDAY CALLED MONDAY TOLD OF PROBLEMS, WAS TOLD TO DRIVE FOR ONE WEEK SO CAR CAN LEARN DRIVING HABITS. I DID ON LAST DAY I TRIED TO PULL OUT OF DRIVEWAY CAR HESITATED AND JUMPED FORWARD, ALMOST HIT A UPS TRUCK. CALLED DEALER AGAIN TOLD THEM OF PROBLEMS, THIS TIME WAS TOLD NO FIX AT THIS TIME BUT NOT TO WORRY BECAUSE LIKE THE V6 CAMRY THEY HAD TO PULL ALL OF LOT FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, WHEN AND IF TOYOTA COMES UP WITH FIX TOYOTA WILL LET ME KNOW. DIDN'T WAIT FOR FIX TRADED THAT DAY. THE 4CLY TOYOTA CAMRY IS DANGEROUS. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. TOYOTA DID TELL ME THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT DIDN'T KNOW WHAT FIX WILL BE BUT ARE WORKING ON IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE ACCELERATOR INTERMITTENTLY HESITATES. THE FAILURE USUALLY OCCURS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, WHEN MAKING A TURN, AND ON MAJOR STREETS. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. SHE HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER A COUPLE OF TIMES AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO THE DEALER A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE THE GEARS WOULD SHIFT AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WERE MANUAL, BUT IT IS AN AUTOMATIC. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE DEALER THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT DESCRIBED HER FAILURES EXACTLY. THE DEALER RECALIBRATED HER COMPUTER AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT WITH BOTH THE VEHICLE HESITATING AND THE GEARS SHIFTING AS THOUGH THEY WERE MANUAL. BOTH FAILURES CONTINUE TO OCCUR. SHE WAS INFORMED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,100 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,550. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. UPDATED 11/26/07. *JB

GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH CAUSED THE CABIN FILTER TO FILL WITH WATER. AIR COULD NOT PASS THROUGH VENTS. VEHICLE SMELLS FOUL INSIDE. DEALER SAYS USING CAR WASH IS NOT RECOMMENDED AND SHOULD AVOID DRIVING IN HARD RAIN. NO ATTEMPT TO REPAIR WAS MADE. MY CAMRY IS NOT WEATHER-PROOF! *TR

WHEN PARKING ON THE DRIVEWAY IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD WITH ENOUGH THROTTLE TO PUT SKID MARKS ON THE GROUND AND PROCEEDED TO RAM INTO THE STRUCTURE. THE CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT IS UNKNOWN AS THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EXPECTED TO "RUN INTO OUR HOUSE." WHEN POWER TOYOTA OF CERRITOS SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE SITUATION THEY DENIED AN ISSUE EXISTED WITH THE VEHICLE. NUMEROUS MANAGERS WERE SPOKEN TO INCLUDING THE SHOP FOREMAN. THEY STOOD BY THE DENIAL. WHEN THE ISSUE OF THE 2007 TOYOTA TACOMA SUDDEN THROTTLE SURGING PROBLEM WAS BROUGHT UP, MANAGEMENT FINALLY CAME OUT TO THE VEHICLE TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE CAUSE BY THE COLLISION WITH THE STRUCTURE. *TR

ROTTEN EGG ODOR IN THE CABIN. WHEN THE CAR IS ACCELERATED, A VERY STRONG ODOR INVADES THE CABIN OF THE CAR. WE HAVE TO LOWER THE WINDOWS TO VENT OUT THE ODOR. TOYOTA CLAIMS THAT THIS TYPE OF ODOR AT THE EXHAUST IS CAUSED BY TOO MUCH SULFUR CONTENT IN THE GASOLINE, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE ODOR IS GETTING IN THE CABIN. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE GASOLINE HAS TO PASS CERTAIN STANDARDS AND THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO COPE WITH ANY TYPE OF GASOLINE SOLD AT US AND IT'S TERRITORIES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AND LOOKING INTO THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND/OR THE REAR GLASS CAUSES DISTORTIONS. THE MIRROR AND/OR GLASS CAUSES THE OBJECTS IN VIEW TO APPEAR TO MOVE UP AND DOWN, BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE SPEED WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,940 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 800. UPDATED 01-10-08. *KB UPDATED 01/08/08. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE TRANSMISSION IN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DOWNSHIFTING INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 1-30 MPH. THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 30 MPH. DURING DECELERATION, THE DOWNSHIFTING PULLS BACK AS IF THE VEHICLE HAD A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING NORMALLY. THE SECOND TIME, THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE WAITING FOR A BULLETIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DECEMBER ISSUE OF CONSUMER REPORTS HAS A REPORT THAT OUTLINED EXACTLY WHAT HE IS EXPERIENCING WITH HIS VEHICLE. UPDATED 01/09/08. *LJ

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WOULD FREE WHEEL WHEN FOOT IS TAKEN OFF THE THROTTLE. CONSUMER'S VEHICLE DOES NOT FREE WHEEL IN TRAFFIC AND STATES PEOPLE BEHIND HIM HAVE TO SUDDENLY HIT THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING HIM. *KB THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED WHEN MAKING A TURN AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO A FEW MILES PER HOUR AND THEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD HARDLY ACCELERATE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AND THEN SUDDENLY TAKE OFF. THE DEALER CORRECTED THE PROBLEM SLIGHTLY WITH RECALIBRATION. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, ANOTHER MOTORIST RAN A STOP SIGN AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO STRIKE THE VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CONTACTS AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. BOTH VEHICLES WERE DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACTS WIFE INJURED HER LEFT ARM AND SUSTAINED CRACKED RIBS. HIS DAUGHTER-IN-LAW SUSTAINED CHEST INJURIES DUE TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT AND IS CURRENTLY HAVING CHEST PAINS. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 14,250. *UPDATED 12/12/07 *BF UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR

MY NEW 2007 CAMRY SE HAS A VERY SCARY HESITATION PROBLEM WHEN I NEED TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR 2 MONTHS AND IT STARTED RIGHT AWAY. MY HUSBAND DROVE IT THE OTHER DAY FOR THE FIRST TIME AND WAS NEARLY IN AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC IT STALLED FOR A FEW SECONDS. SCARED HIM TO DEATH! HE ASKED ME IF THAT HAPPENED TO ME AND I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE CAR'S QUIRK. HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY NOW. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT IT IS A PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY MANY. I WAS TOLD TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT SO IT CAN BE ADDRESSED. THANK YOU. *JB

"HESITATION PROBLEM" DUE TO A POSSIBLE SOFTWARE GLITCH. DEALER HAS RECALIBRATED WHICH DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. FUEL ECONOMY NOT AS LISTED BY TOYOTA (33 HIGHWAY/24 CITY) WHERE I ONLY GET 26 HIGHWAY AND 14 CITY. *TR

THE GAS PEDAL ON MY 2007 CAMRY GOT STUCK ALSO. IT WAS BRAND NEW. IT ONLY HAD 1200 MILES ON IT. I WAS GETTING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF. I WAS PRESSING ON THE BRAKES WITH BOTH FEET ABOUT 1/4 MILE AND NOTHING. I THOUGHT I AM GOING TO DIE IN THIS CAR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALER. THEY SAID I PROBABLY ENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL.I SAID I WAS JUST GETTING ON THE FREEWAY. I TOLD MY LOCAL TOYOTA I WAS AFRAID TO EVEN THE SEE THE CAR. MY LOCAL CALLED THE DEALER THAT HAD MY CAR AND GOT THEM TO DO A COMPLETE CHECK. THEY THEN SAID IT WAS THE MATS THAT GOT STUCK. TOYOTA THEN SENT OUT RECALLS FOR THE ALL WEATHER MATS. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY LOCAL DEALER WITH THE RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME SORRY, IT'S ONLY FOR THE ALL WEATHER MATS. NOT THE CLOTH MATS. I SAID BUT IT HAPPENED TO ME WITH THESE MATS. I CAME HOME AND WROTE TO TOYOTA HEADQUARTER AND NOTHING. THE DEALER THAT DID THE INSPECTIONS SAID THEY DROVE AND DROVE THAT CAR. WHEN I RELUCTANTLY PICKED UP MY CAR FROM THEM, I LOOKED AT THE MILES, IT WAS 1230 MILES. WHEN THE CAR WAS TOWED THERE, IT HAD 1210. GO FIGURE. HERE I AM WITH THIS DEATH TRAP. I TELL MY FAMILY I AM GOING TO DIE IN THIS CAR. AND THAT I BELIEVE TODAY. *TR

MY HUSBAND & I PURCHASED A 07 CAMRY. A FEW WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE, HUSBAND NOTICED PROBLEMS. TRANSMISSION WAS NOT "ACTING" RIGHT. THE CAR WOULD HESITATE FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN WE GIVEN GAS OR SOMETIMES ACCELERATE WHEN WE DID NOT; THE BRAKES WERE BAD; & STEERING COLUMN "SHOOK" WHEN WE DROVE OVER ROAD BUMPS OR SPEEDS > THAN 50. OVER NEXT FEW MONTHS WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE & VOICED OUR CONCERNS, THE SERVICE PERSON WOULD TELL US THAT HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR REGARDING OUR CONCERNS & DURING ONE VISIT, THEY DROVE THE CAR 18 MILES & STILL COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ONE DAY I WAS GETTING ON FREEWAY & TRIED TO INCREASE MY SPEED, THE CAR STALLED FOR ABOUT 4 SECONDS, AS I LOOKED IN REAR VIEW MIRROR I SAW ANOTHER CAR COMING BEHIND ME AT A REALLY FAST SPEED. I WAS TRYING TO DETERMINING WHAT TO DO AS THE CAR APPEARED TO HAVE ACTUALLY SHUT OFF, WHEN IT JUST SURGED FORWARD & I WAS MOVING AGAIN. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME & I CALLED MY HUSBAND & TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED. I FELT THAT IF WE DID NOT DO SOMETHING, WE COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE AN ACCIDENT, GET KILLED OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE. I FINALLY CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE & TOLD THEM OUR STORY. THEY INSTRUCTED US TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPT FOR AN ASSESSMENT. AFTER ASSESSMENT THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; MY ROTORS WERE COMPLETELY WARPED; AND THEY MAY HAVE TO OVERHAUL MY TRANSMISSION BUT WERE GOING TO TRY & RESET IT TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP (APPAR

I HAVE NOTICED HEAVY DECELERATION WHEN I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE MY 4 CYLINDER TOYOTA CAMRY LE. THIS IS TYPICALLY THE CASE WHEN THE COMPRESSOR IS ON. THE HESITATION IS SO BAD THAT I WANT TO DEPRESS THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR IN AN ATTEMPT TO PICK UP SPEED TO MERGE. SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I WILL BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE HESITATION. AFTER A DELAY OF ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS, THE CAR RESPONDS, BUT THAT'S ALMOST A LIFETIME WHEN TRYING TO PICK UP SPEED. *TR

COMPLAINT: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND DURING ACCELERATION ESPECIALLY FROM A STOP AS WELL AS DURING NORMAL DRIVING. LACK OF RESPONSE RECURS REGULARLY SINCE PURCHASE IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO TOYOTA WITH NO RESPONSE AS WELL AS TO TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO HAS ADMITTED THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS BUT CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG AS WELL AS TOYOTA HAS TOLD THEM THERE IS NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS AND NEAR-MISSES WHEN DRIVING ESPECIALLY WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTIONS PUTTING MY FAMILIES LIVES IN JEOPARDY DUE TO TOYOTA'S REFUSAL TO ADMIT THEIR PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BY THIS DEPARTMENT DUE TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE FLOOR MAT SLIDES FORWARD AND BUNCHES UP UNDER THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS COULD CAUSE A CRASH. TOYOTA STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. RECALL NUMBER SSC70F FOR THE ALL WEATHER FLOOR MATS WAS REFERENCED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 13,750 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200. UPDATED 11/07/07 *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING GREATER THAN 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND MADE THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,600 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7.

CAR HESITATION WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC WHICH CAUSED US TO GET ALMOST HIT. HESITATES WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO GO AROUND CORNER AND TAKES SECONDS AFTER CAR HAS SHIFTED BACK DOWN TO 1ST TO GET UP AND GO WHICH SCARES ME THAT I WILL BE HIT FROM BEHIND. *TR

6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HESITATES TO DOWN SHIFT IN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. FIRST PROBLEM WITHIN 30 DAYS OF OWNING THE CAR WAS A LOUD CLUNKING UNDER THE HOOD WHEN DRIVING CAR AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. AFTER MECHANIC TEST DROVE WITH ME HE COULD NOT FEEL THE PROBLEM. HE DID NOT CHECK UNDER THE HOOD AND I DID NOT LEAVE MY CAR. HE TOLD ME TO COME BACK WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK THE CAR BACK I LEFT IT OVER NITE AND WAS TOLD THE NEXT DAY THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I INSISTED THEY KEEP MY CAR UNTIL THEY FOUND WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. AFTER 2 DAYS I CALLED THEM AND THEY DETERMINED MY TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT. THEY HAD MY CAR ALMOST 2 WEEKS. A COUPLE DAYS AFTER THE NEW TRANNY WAS PUT IN I WENT ON A 120 MILE TRIP.I WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH MY CARS PERFORMANCE. IT WOULD ACCELERATE AT HIGH SPEEDS AFTER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND WHEN I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTNING SITUATION WHEN I CAME UPON A WRECK ON INTERSTATE AND MY CAR ACCELERATED INSTEAD OF DECREASING THE SPEED. I TOOK MY CAR BACK ONCE AGAIN FOR AND OIL CHANGE AND TO GET THE CAR CHECK OUT AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT WITH A COMPUTER CHIP ADJUSTMENT. I TOOK MY CAR BACK AGAIN TODAY BECAUSE I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH AUTOMATICALLY ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEEDS.

THE PROBLEM I'VE ENCOUNTERED CENTERS AROUND THE TRANSMISSION. THERE IS A HESITATION WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS GEARS, EITHER WHEN GETTING UP TO SPEED OR SLOWING DOWN TO STOP. ONE TOYOTA DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION-RELATED SOFTWARE THAT COULD BE FIXED VIA AN UPGRADE. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. AS A RESULT, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER AND THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THERE WAS NOT AN ISSUE AT ALL. THIS OCCURRED AFTER HE "TEST-DROVE" IT FOR 3 MILES. *TR

2007 CAMRY XLE WITH BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL 400-02 TIRES. SIZE 215/60-16. TIRES STARTED MAKING "ROAD NOISE" AT 18,000MI AND GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AT 23,000. DEALER SAID IT'S BECAUSE OF HARD RUBBER COMPOSITE USED IN MFG OF TIRE AND OFFERED TO PAY FOR 2 IF I PAY FOR 2 OF ANOTHER BRAND TIRE. *TR

EXTREME HESITATION WHEN PULLING INTO BUSY HIGHWAY. I STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR DOES NOT GO FOR ABOUT 2-3 SECOND. BY THAT TIME THE TRAFFIC IS TOO NEAR FOR SAFETY. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. CONSUMER STATES THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN ON THREE OCCASIONS. DEALER TOLD CONSUMER THEY NEVER HEARD OF A PROBLEM LIKE THAT AND COULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. *KB *TR SEE ALSO 10203400. *DSY

THE CRUISE CONTROL ON OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE (4 CYL) IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO THE POINT WE CANNOT USE IT. WHEN TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET IT WILL DOWNSHIFT AND SURGE 5-10 MILES FASTER THAN SETTING WHEN ENCOUNTERING THE SLIGHTEST HILL. WHEN WE BROUGHT THIS TO OUR SERVICING DEALERS ATTENTION ON TWO OCCASIONS THEY REPORT IT AS OPERATING CORRECTLY BUT TELL US THEY AND TOYOTA ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT. THE PROBLEM IS REPEATED IN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THIS SITE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THIS PROBLEM IS SERIOUS ENOUGH FOR THE NHTSA TO DEMAND A RECALL FROM TOYOTA TO FIX IT. IF THEY CANNOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME THEY SHOULD BE PREVENTED FROM SELLING ANOTHER CAMRY UNTIL THEY CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I AM URGING THE NHTSA TO TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND RESPOND ACCORDINGLY. *TR

THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DELAY WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE IN THE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY! AFTER A SCARY INCIDENT INVOLVING A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK, POOR ACCELERATION, AND A HILL, ( FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT) I CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS TO REPORT THE INCIDENT ( BECAUSE OF THE ACCELERATION DELAY). THEY WERE OF NO HELP, BUT TOLD ME TO BRING MY CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO BE EXAMINED FOR THE ACCELERATION DELAY. THE DEALERS MECHANIC REPORTED BACK TO ME AFTER A QUICK EXAMINATION AND TEST DRIVE THAT THERE IS NO ACCELERATION DELAY ISSUE ,AND THAT THE CAR IS BUILT THIS WAY. WHAT THE MECHANIC DID DO( POSSIBLY TO APPEASE ME) WAS RE-SET THE ACCELERATION COMPONENT IN THE CAR'S COMPUTER. THIS 'ADJUSTMENT' HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THE ISSUE, AND I STILL EXPERIENCE ACCELERATION DELAY TO THIS DAY. UNFORTUNATELY, TOYOTA DOES NOT SEEM INTERESTED IN FIXING THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY FLAW. I HOPE THERE ARE NO FATALITIES RESULTING FROM THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH HESITATION UPON ACCELERATION SINCE DAY ONE. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER'S ATTENTION AND PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED--STILL EXISTS. *TR

IN SEPTEMBER 2006 I TRADED A PERFECTLY PERFORMING 4 CYL 2006 CAMRY FOR A 2007 4 CYL CAMRY BECAUSE I LIKED THE NEW DESIGN. I STILL LIKE THE NEW DESIGN BUT HAVE BEEN QUITE ANNOYED AND CONCERNED ABOUT THE CAR'S FAILURE TO ACCELERATE WHEN NEEDED. FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR NEAR STOP WHEN A QUICK TAKE-OFF IS NEEDED THE INITIAL RESPONSE IS AT TIMES ZILCH/ZERO/0. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHO HAD THE COMPUTER RECALIBRATED. THIS LASTED FOR A WHILE, BUT IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT GONE BACK BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS GREATER THAN "RECALIBRATING". I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *JB UPDATED 06/23/08.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH A KEY THAT WILL NOT OPEN THE TRUNK. THE TRUNK CAN STILL OPEN WITH THE AUTOMATIC KEY PAD. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT IF THE TRUNK IS LOCKED WITH A KEY, IT SHOULD ONLY BE ABLE TO OPEN WITH A KEY AND NOT THE KEY PAD. THE DEALER OFFERED TO UNHOOK THE KEY PAD FEATURE, HOWEVER, NO REPAIR WAS MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 4,500.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH IN REVERSE, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE RACK AND PINION STEERING WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY AGREED WITH THE MECHANIC'S DIAGNOSIS. THEY REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION. AS OF OCTOBER 11, 2007, THERE HAD BEEN NO FURTHER OCCURRENCES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,500. *UPDATED 12/12/07 *BF UPDATED 12/12/07

THE CAR SLOWS SUDDENLY WHILE SLOWING DOWN AT AROUND 40 MPH AND YOU WILL FEEL LIKE SOME ONE HOLDING THE CAR FROM MOVING FORWARD. AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATES AT AROUND 25 MPH EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. THAT DAY THERE WAS A TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON A HIGHWAY AND THE TRAFFIC WAS MOVING AROUND 40 MPH. I WAS ABOUT TO HIT ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT I MANAGED BY BRAKING THE CAR WITH MORE FORCE. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THE MECHANIC TOOK A TEST DRIVE AND SAYS THE CAR IS DOWNSHIFTING AND THAT'S WHY YOU FEEL THAT BRAKING. AND EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. ITS ME WHO IS LIVING WITH THE CAR AND IT IS ABNORMAL TO ME. THEY APPLIED SOME TSB (FIX TO THE COMPUTER) BUT IT NOT MUCH HELPFUL. *TR

THE ACCELERATOR OF MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 (PURCHASED IN APRIL OF 2007) HAS THE "HESITATION ISSUE". THE CAR DOESN'T PROCEED AT ALL OR GAIN ENOUGH SPEED TO PROCEED IMMEDIATELY AFTER MY STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL FROM A FULL-STOPPED POSITION. I HAD AN ACCIDENT ON 10/02/07 PARTIALLY DUE TO THE ISSUE BECAUSE I COULDN'T AVOID FAST ENOUGH A VEHICLE MAKING A RECKLESS LEFT-TURN. THERE WAS NO INJURY AMONG RIDERS IN MY CAR ALTHOUGH THE OTHER DRIVER ESCAPED THE ACCIDENT SCENE AND I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THE DRIVER IS HURT. MY CAR IS IN AN AUTO BODY SHOP CURRENTLY BUT WOULDN'T LIKE TO DRIVE IT ONCE IT IS FIXED A FEW DAYS FROM TODAY. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS? THANK YOU. *JB
