2007 Toyota Camry complaints

ON JULY 9, 2018, VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND TO CHECK ON INTERMITTENT ENGINE KNOCKING. WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PISTONS AND COST FOR REPAIR WOULD BE $4,400.00. REPAIR WOULD INCLUDE: KITS, CLAMPS, HOSES, PISTONS AND PISTON PINS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SECOND TOYOTA DEALER WHO SUGGESTED EITHER A USED ENGINE OR A REBUILT ONE. ESTIMATED COST WOULD BE BETWEEN $5,000.00 AND $6,000.00

MY DASH IS MELTING, STICKY AND VISIBILITY IS IMPAIRED BY GLARE. I JUST FOUND THIS INFORMATION OUT THROUGH A FRIEND. I PLACED A CALL TO TOYOTA THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY DASH. I DID NOT RECEIVE SAID RECALL. THIS GLARE IS IMPAIRING MY VISIBILITY. TOYOTA SAID THE RECALL WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY WILL NOT HONOR REPAIR. AGAIN I DID NOT RECEIVE RECALLS. I HAVE BEEN AT THE SAME ADDRESS FOR 20 YEARS. I DID RECEIVE THE OTHER 2 RECALLS AND THEY HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. NOW ASK YOURSELF IF I ADDRESSED THE OTHER TWO RECALLS WHY WOULD I NOT HAVE ADDRESSED THIS ONE. THE CAMRY HAS 76680 MILES ON IT IT HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER. I THINK NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. SAFETY HAZARD WORK WITH ME HERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE REFLECTION OF THE SUN ON THE MELTING DASHBOARD CREATED A MIRROR LIKE EFFECT AND OBSCURED THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (TOYOTA OF TURNERSVILLE, 3400 NJ-42 TURNERSVILLE, NEW JERSEY 08012) WHERE THEY DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD EXCEEDED THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY FOR A RECALL REPAIR. THE SPECIFIC RECALL INFORMATION WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,370.

(1) ABS MODULE HAS AN INTERMITTENT SHORT. WHEN IT FAILS THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING, ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ON DASH COME ON, TEMP GAUGE AND TACH FLUCTUATE, AND THE A/C STOPS WORKING. THE SHORT IN MODULE WAS DIAGNOSED BY A TOYOTA DEALER. I UNDERSTAND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS GO BAD BUT FOR IT TO EFFECT THE SPEEDOMETER AND A/C SEEMS LIKE A POOR DESIGN. (2) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY ENGINE OIL LIGHT HAS COME ON. APPARENTLY THERE ARE ISSUES WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IN SOME MODEL TOYOTAS WITH PISTON RINGS FLAWS. DEALER HAS DONE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS BUT UNABLE TO REPRODUCE PROBLEM.

ISSUE 1: RECALL ON STICKY DASH REGISTERED WITH QUALITY IMPORTS OF FWB IN 2016 AND NEVER RESOLVED. I CHECKED BACK WITH THEM REPEATEDLY AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS ON BACK-ORDER. THEY HAVE NOW MOVED LOCATIONS. ISSUE 2: DRIVER'S SIDE SUN-VISOR WILL NOT MAINTAIN POSITION. IT FLOPS DOWN IN DRIVER'S VISION. BOTH ISSUES RESULTED WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

TOYOTA RECALL - THE ENGINE IS BURNING TOO MUCH OIL WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO FAIL AND OIL TO BURN AT AN ACCESSIVE RATE. I HAVE COMPLAINTED OF THIS TO A THE PRIORITY SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE TO PUT OIL IN THE VEHICLE OFTEN. THERE WAS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH TOYOTA ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM HOWEVER I WAS NEVER INFORMED EVEN WHEN I CONSTANTLY COMPLAINED OF THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAS FALTY PARTS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THESE PARTS

STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH CAR OVERHEATING. REPLACED WATER PUMP BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAD THE CODE FOR A MISFIRE. ENDED UP BEING THE HEAD GASKET. THIS CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED. IN RESEARCHING THIS, I HAVE FOUND THAT SEVERAL TOYOTA OWNERS HAVE HAD HEAD GASKET ISSUES AND THERE WAS ALSO A RECALL ON THE 4RUNNER HEAD GASKET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL AND TWO OTHER UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SMITHTOWN TOYOTA (360 EAST JERICHO TURNPIKE, SMITHTOWN, NY 11787, (844) 547-4559) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE ACTUATOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 198,000.

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS STICKY, CRACKING DASHBOARD FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND IT PROGRESSIVELY GETS WORSE EACH SUMMER. IT STARTED OUT A LITTLE TACKY WHEN IT HAD GOTTEN HOT FROM THE SUMMER HEAT AND IT HAS PROGRESSED TO A STICKY, GOOEY MESS THAT CANNOT BE PROPERLY CLEANED. IT REMINDS ME OF THOSE OLD AUBURN COLORED FLY STRIPS WE USED TO HANG FROM THE CEILING WHEN WE WERE KIDS. CRACKS STARTED APPEARING LAST SUMMER AND NOW SEVERAL MORE HAVE APPEARED THIS SUMMER. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF A RECALL AND I JUST FOUND IT ONLINE THIS MORNING WHILE SEARCHING FOR A CLEANING SOLUTION. I PLAN ON OWNING THIS VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 5 YEARS AND I FEAR THE DASHBOARD WILL BE AN ABSOLUTE DISASTER BY THEN.

STICKY, SHINY DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD HAS GOTTEN SOFT AND GOOEY AND IS NOW VERY SHINY. IT MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD ON A SUNNY DAY. I HAVE LOOKED IT UP ON LINE AND IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. SUPPOSEDLY TOYOTA NOTIFIED OWNERS AND OFFERED TO REPLACE SOME OF THEM BUT WE MOVED AND WERE NEVER NOTIFIED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I CANT FOR THE LIFE OF ME UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A FULL BLOWN RECALL. AGAIN, ON A SUNNY DAY THERE IS SO MUCH GLARE FROM THE DASH ONTO THE WINDSHIELD THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT.

1. BACKGROUND THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD BECAME "STICKY" ON OR ABOUT JUNE 12, 2018. THE ENTIRE DASH IS NOW COVERED WITH A GLUE-LIKE RESIDUE. THE TOYOTA WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM (ZE6) COVERING THIS PROBLEM EXPIRED ON MAY 31, 2017. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THE DASH UNDER THE WARRANTY PROGRAM (TOYOTA CASE #'S 1806131876, 1806210691). 2. SAFETY-RELATED ISSUES A. ON WARM, SUNNY DAYS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, THE STICKY DASH HAS A VERY BRIGHT SHINE. THE SHINY DASH PROJECTS A GLOSSY, TEXTURED IMAGE OF THE DASH ONTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS CAN OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS EITHER STATIONARY OR MOVING. THIS CONDITION IMPEDES MY FIELD OF VISION AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO FOCUS AND CLEARLY SEE THE ROAD AHEAD, OTHER VEHICLES, AND PEDESTRIANS. B. DURING THE SUMMER SEASON, INTERIOR CAR TEMPERATURES CAN REACH BETWEEN 130 AND 170 DEGREES. WHAT TOXINS ARE BEING RELEASED IN THE CAR INTERIOR FROM THE INTERACTION OF EXTREME HEAT, UV RADIATION, AND THE GLUE-LIKE RESIDUE? WHAT ARE THE SHORT AND LONG TERM HEALTH RISKS FROM INHALING POTENTIALLY TOXIC AIR IN A CONFINED SPACE WHILE DRIVING? SUMMARY BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES NOTED ABOVE, MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT I AM DRIVING AN "UNSAFE" VEHICLE THAT IS ENDANGERING MYSELF, OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD, AND PEDESTRIANS. NO DRIVER SHOULD HAVE TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE DUE TO A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WHICH RESULTS IN DIMINISHED ROAD VISIBILITY AND POTENTIALLY INTERIOR CAR TOXINS. THEREFORE, THIS IS NO LONGER A

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING AND HAD A STICKY RESIDUE ON THE SURFACE. WHILE DRIVING, THE GLARE OF THE SUN OFF THE DASHBOARD MADE IT DIFFICULT TO CLEARLY SEE THE ROAD. THE DEALER (LUSTINE TOYOTA, 14227 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, WOODBRIDGE, VA 22191, (703) 494-1800) INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH TOYOTA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 154,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE WAS DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP, THE DRIVER HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK WHEN STOPPING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (TARBOX TOYOTA, 3671 QUAKER LN, NORTH KINGSTOWN, RI 02852, (401) 884-5438) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *TT

THE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME VERY STICKY AND SHINNY TO THE POINT IT IS REFLECTIVE ON THE WINDSHIELD RIGHT IN YOUR MAIN VIEW AREA.

ENGINE BURNS ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES.TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND SAYS IT'S NORMAL FOR A VEHICLE TO BURN OIL AFTER TIME.

THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL. THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL HOWEVER, I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE BURNING OF THE OIL IN THE ENGINE. FOR OVER 2 YEARS, I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE OIL BURNING IN MY CAR AND HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS OF TIMES TO COMPLAINT THAT MY OIL LIGHT WAS ON WITH A FEW WEEKS OF GETTING A OIL CHANGE. I PAID NUMEROUS OF TIMES FOR ADDITIONAL OIL FOR MY CAR AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OIL IN MY CAR. I WAS TOLD THE CAR IS OLDER AND THE MORE MILES ON THE CAR, THE VEHICLE WILL BURN LOTS OF OIL. I HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP MANY TIMES FOR OIL CHANGES AND REPAIRS FOR PREVIOUS RECALLS HOWEVER, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE ENGINE OIL BURNING RECALL IN MY VEHICLE. AFTER BEING NOTIFIED BY A RENTAL CAR REPRESENTATIVE AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ABOUT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, I CALLED PRIORITY CHEVROLET GREENBRIER TO GET THE TEST DONE SINCE I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THAT PRIORITY DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF THE SPEED OF GETTING AN APPOINTMENT FOR MY OIL CHANGES. I WAS TOLD I NEED TO GO TO PRIORITY TOYOTA TO HAVE IT DONE SINCE MY CAR IS A TOYOTA. NEVER ONCE HAVE A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ADVISE ME OF THE BURNING OF OIL WITH 07 CAMRY. NOW THAT I HAVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE, THE SERVICE REP SAYS THAT THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY $2,200 FOR THE REPAIR. I BELIEVE, I AM ENTITLE TO THIS REPAIR KNOWING THAT TOYOTA NEVER NOTIFIED ME AND THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS AND NOT ONE SER

MY VISOR BROKE AND WILL NO LONGER STAY IN PLACE, THIS IS OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING. WHEN LOOKING UP THIS ISSUE I FOUND A OLD RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PART. "2007-2011 TOYOTA CAMRY'S WERE INSTALLED WITH A SUN VISOR THAT WAS LATER RECALLED DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE INNER PLASTIC BODY. ... MAKING THE ARM UNABLE TO HOLD THE VISOR IN PLACE EFFECTIVELY, INCREASING THE RISK OF IT OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER." THIS SHOULD NOT BE BROKEN, AND IF THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL, I WOULD TO HAVE THIS FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD WAS MELTING AND CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LIPTON TOYOTA (1700 W OAKLAND PARK BLVD, FORT LAUDERDALE, FL 33311, (954) 790-6137), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

I HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE BECAUSE ITHE VISOR WAS ROTATING DOWNWARD AND DETACHING FROM THE CEILING BLOCKING MY VISION WHILE DRIVING. A LITTLE WHILE LATER I RECEIVED A "WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTICE" FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THIS VISOR PROBLEM. I STILL HAD THE REPAIR RECEIPT SO I MAILED IT TO TOYOTA AND THEY REIMBURSED ME. NOW IT IS BROKEN AGAIN. IT COMPLETELY FALLS DOWN WITH NO SUPPORT WHAT-SO-EVER AND DETACHES FROM THE CEILING FREQUENTLY. I HAVE A STRING WITH A CLOTHES PIN TO HOLD IT PARTIALLY UP BUT MY VISION IS STILL BLOCKED SOME AND THE CLOTHES PIN DOESN'T HOLD IT VERY LONG. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I HAVE NOT ABUSED THIS VISOR IN ANYWAY. I STILL HAVE THE PAPERWORK FOR THE REPAIR AND THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTICE LETTER. THERE IS NO NUMBER ON THIS LETTER BUT AT THE BOTTOM IN TINY LETTERS IS ZTT CAMRY N5E086-00000803-104 IF THIS IS ANY HELP. I LIVE IN A DIFFERENT STATE NOW BUT DON'T KNOW IF THIS MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE.

THE ENGINE BURNS 1.5 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. TOYOTA TOLD ME THAT THE TSB EXPIRED AT THE END OF 2016 AND WERE UNWILLING TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED A STICKY SUBSTANCE ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GLARE FROM THE SUN ONTO THE WINDSHIELD MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE DRIVER TO SEE THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 162,000.

ABS, SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, RPM AND A/C JUMPS ON AND OFF ALL OVER THE PLACE. I TOOK IT TO A TOYOTA DEALER, COULD NOT FIND WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT THEY ASSUMED IT MAY BE THE ABS MODULE OR SOME OTHER MODULES MAY NOT BE TALKING TO EACH OTHER. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON LINE TOYOTA CAMRY FORUMS AND AND FOUND THEY ARE LOTS OF TOYOTA CAMRY OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS A VERY SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IM NOT ABLE TO SEE AT THE SPEED MY CAR IS GOING WHEN DRIVING IT BECAUSE TACHOMETER GAUGES AMONG THE OTHERS GAUGES WORKING INTERMITTENT (ON AND OFF) I REQUEST FOR TOYOTA TO PLACE A RECALL FOR ALL TOYOTA CAMRY HAVING THIS MAYOR SAFETY ELECTRONICS PROBLEMS. I WOULD NOT MIND PAYING FOR REPAIR IF TOYOTA DEALER KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BUT THEY DON'T KNOW AND IF THE REPAIR DID NOT EXCEED OCER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING THAT THE MANUFACTURE HAS FAILED TO ADDRESSED AND FIX. THANK YOU.

MY 07 CAMRY 2.4L CE, HAS AN EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE TO FILL OIL IN THE ENGINE EVERY 1000-1500 MILES WITH 1-2QT.

DASHBOARD CREATES A VERY SHINY SURFACE MAKING IT HARD TO PROPERLY SEE THE ROAD. IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS MELTING. WHEN I TOUCH IT, IT STICKS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE I DRIVE. I LIVE IN FLORIDA SO I HAD TO PUT A DASHBOARD COVER WHICH STILL DOESN STAY FIXED.

THE SUN VISOR AT DRIVER'S SIDE HAS BECOME DETACHED. IT CAN NO LONGER BE HELD IT ITS POSITION. PLEASE SEE PICTURE ATTACHED. TOYOTA HAD ISSUED A RECALL ON 08/01/2012 (DETAILS AVAILABLE AT THIS LINK: HTTP://MEDIA.FIXED-OPS.COM/TOY_CAMPAIGNS/POL12-03.PDF), HOWEVER, AS PER TOYOTA, FREE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT IS ONLY APPLICABLE "7 YEARS FROM THE DATE-OF-FIRST-USE (REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE)". I HAVE SERVICED MY TOYOTA AT TOYOTA DEALERSHIP EVERY 5,000 MILES FROM 2012 TILL DATE, HOWEVER, I WAS NEITHER INFORMED OF THIS RECALL NOR HAD THE ITEM REPLACED BY TOYOTA PROACTIVELY DUE TO RECALL ISSUED. HENCE TOYOTA MUST NOT ASK ME TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR NOW.

DASH IS MELTING ESPECIALLY IN HOT WEATHER.

CAR HAS BEEN USING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 500 MILES SINCE 2014

WHEN YOU PRESS THE PUSH START BUTTON TO START THE CAR WHEN IT IS PARKED, IT USUALLY TAKES 5-6 TRIES BEFORE IT TURNS ON IN THE MORNING WHEN LEAVING FOR WORK. THE LIGHT WILL STAY RED AND WON'T TURN GREEN. I GET A MESSAGE THAT SAYS CHECK VCS SYSTEMS. IT HAPPENS WHEN I LEAVE THE CAR FOR LONGER PERIODS. IT IS NOT INFREQUENT. IT IS VERY TIME CONSUMING AND INCONVENIENT.

MELTING, STICKY AND SHINY DASHBOARD. THE SHINY DASHBOARD CREATES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING A POOR VISIBILITY. THE UNSAFE AND FAULTY DASHBOARD IS PREVENTING A GOOD VISIBILITY DAY OR NIGHT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS FOR 10 YEARS ONLY. I ALSO CONTACTED TOYOTA AND ALSO STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME WITH THE PROBLEM. THE CAR CONTINUES TO BE IN SERVICE UNTIL I FIND A SOLUTION. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE FAULTY REPAIR.

HOOD OPEN WARNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARD AND CHIME ACTIVATES WHILE DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS AND FREEWAY. I STOP TO CHECK HOOD AND IT IS SECURE. LIGHT AND ALARM WILL CLEAR AND THEN A FEW MILES LATER IT WILL GO ON AGAIN. WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND CAR ALARM IS ACTIVATED, THE CAR ALARM WILL START SOUNDING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WITH NOBODY NEAR THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THESE TWO CONDITIONS ALSO, AND BELIEVE THESE TWO CONDITIONS ARE RELATED. IT IS AN ANNOYANCE TO MY NEIGHBORS AS WELL AS MYSELF, AND IF DRIVING ON THE ROAD THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF PULLING OVER TO CHECK THE HOOD LATCH TO SILENCE ALARM AND WARNING LIGHT. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE 2.4L 4 CYL, CONSUMES OIL AT A STAGGERING RATE. DUE TO THIS INCREASED RATE OF OIL CONSUMPTION, INCREASED MAINTENANCE COSTS INEVITABLY OCCUR. THIS OIL CONSUMPTION OCCURS ANY TIME THE CAR'S ENGINE IS RUNNING, OCCURRING EVEN MORE AT HIGH SPEEDS OF OPERATION. THE CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY LURCH WHEN BEING DRIVEN, CREATING OPPORTUNITY FOR AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR IN THE WRONG CONDITIONS. BEFORE DRIVING FOR PROLONGED HIGH SPEEDS, I CHECK THE OIL LEVEL TO ENSURE THERE IS ENOUGH TO PREVENT A SEIZED ENGINE. THE RESULTS OF SUCH A PROBLEM WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC AT HIGH SPEEDS. THESE INCREASED MAINTENANCE COSTS AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL DANGERS CAUSED BY THE INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION OF MY CAR PROVIDE MORE THAN AMPLE JUSTIFICATION FOR AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT.

STICKY DASHBOARD. CAUSES VISIBILITY HAZARD DUE TO SHINY GLARE. TOYOTA DID NOT NOTIFY AHEAD OF THEIR WARRANTY EXTENSION. RIGHT TOYOTA DEALERSHIP DID NOT MENTION AFTER SERVICE VISITS. TOYOTA WILL NOT REPLACE, SAYS IT IS ,MY FAULT FOR NOT KNOWING AHEAD OF TIME THAT MY DASHBOARD WOULD ONE DAY MELT. CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED AND HAS ONLY 55K MILES. SHAME ON TOYOTA.

BURNING 1 QT OF OIL EVERY 600 MILES

MY CAR IS COMSUMING 13/4 QUARTS OF OIL FOR 1200 MILES

MY TOYOTA CAMRY SE 2007 MODEL CONSUMES EXCESSIVE OIL. THE OIL GONE AT 2400 KM AFTER I CHANGED THE OIL. AND THE PAINT RIGHT ABOVE THE DOOR AND ON THE SPOILER START GETTING PEELING OFF.

CAR IS BURNING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000-1200 MILES, TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE STATED IN THE LONG RUN THIS CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO KNOCK AND OR FAIL. I JUST HAD A NEWBORN AND AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE AND CHILD.

MY CAR BURNS ONE QUARTET OF OIL FOR EVERY 1000 MILES , ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO OIL LEAKAGE ON EITHER ENGINE OR GROUND. THERE IS NO SMOKE EITHER. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO ADMIT THAT BURNING 3 QUARTETS OF OIL FOR EVERY 3000 MILE IS NOT NORMAL . THIS CAR IS A TOYOTA CAMRY SE 2007

THE DASHBOARD IS MADE OF A PLASTIC THAT DETERIORATES OVER TIME. THE EFFECT IS A STICKY COATING WHEN THE DASHBOARD IS EXPOSED TO WARMTH. TOYOTA EXPANDED THE WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS. MY CAR DID NOT EXHIBIT SYMPTOMS DURING THAT TIME, OR WHEN CHECKED, HAD NOT BEEN EXPOSED TO HEAT (THE CAR IS GARAGE KEPT). DASHBOARDS SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT. TOYOTA WAS SOLD A DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY TOYOTA WOULD NOT INSIST THAT CUSTOMERS ARE MADE WHOLE FOR THIS (THE REPAIR IS OVER $1,200) RATHER THAN RISK LOSING LOYAL (FORMERLLY LOYAL) CUSTOMERS. MY WIFE AND I HAVE OWNED 5 TOYOTAS SINCE 1980, AND CURRENTLY HAVE TWO. THE SHINY DASH CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD. OUR 2007 HAD OTHER SERIOUS DEFECTS THAT TOYOTA REPAIRED. WE WILL SHOP ANOTHER BRAND NEXT TIME.

JUST PURCHASE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE FROM STERLING MCCALL TOYOTA A FEW MONTHS AGO AND NOW JUST FINDING OUT THAT THE CAR HAS A OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH NO INDICATION THAT THE ENGINE HAD EVER HAD AND PROBLEMS NOW IT'S A THE ENGINE HAS POSSIBLY BLOWN OUT OR LOCKED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE IT WILL NOT START. I PAID FOR THIS VEHICLE IN FULL IN CASH FROM THE DEALER I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW TO GET MY MONEY BACK FOR THE VEHICLE SALE PRICE AND THE OTHER MINOR REPAIRS THAT I MADE TO THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE KILLED ME AND MY CHILDREN IT JUST TURNED OFF WHILE WE WERE DRIVING HOME DURING THE DAY, ALMOST CAUSED A CAR ACCIDENT.

MY CAR IS EXCESSIVELY BURNING OIL. I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. I HAVE MY OIL CHANGE EVERY 3,00 TO 5,000 MILES AT THE TOYOTA DEALER. MY OIL LEVEL WOULD GO LOW BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. MY HUSBAND WOULD CONSTANTLY CHECK AND ADD OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. MY HUSBAND ASKED ME TO ASK THE TOYOTA DEALER TO CHECK TO SEE IF I HAD AN OIL LEAK. THE DEALER TOLD ME I DID NOT HAVE AN OIL LEAK AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHY MY OIL LEVEL WAS GOING LOW BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. AFTER MY HUSBAND DID SOME RESEARCH, HE FOUND OUT THE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR ENGINES EXCESSIVELY BURNING OIL. TOYOTA AND THE DEALER KNEW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THAT TYPE OF ENGINE BURNING OIL EXCESSIVELY AND THEY DID NOT TELL ME! WHO IS GOING TO FIX THIS, IT'S NOT MY FAULT?!

VSC WARNING CAME ON INCLUDING TRACTION, ABS, BRAKE, + 2 WARNING LIGHTS. THE ABS PUMP KEEPS MAKING NOISE EVERY 5 TO 10 SECONDS EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. THE BRAKES FEEL DIFFERENT. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND THE RPM NEEDLE MOVED TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE CONTACT SHIFTED TO THE PARK POSITION, REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH, AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO TOYOTA TREASURE COAST (5101 SE FEDERAL HIGHWAY STUART, FLORIDA 34997) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FLOORMAT GOT CAUGHT BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE CARPET OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT A SPRING WAS FOUND NEAR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO REMOVE THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE FLOORMAT WHILE DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE VEHICLE IS BURNING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. THERE IS SOME SMOKING COMING FROM THE TAILPIPE AS WELL. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 77,000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAD A STICKY RESIDUE AS WELL AS CRACKS. THE GLARE FROM THE STICKY SUBSTANCE WAS IMPACTING THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER (BILL PENNEY TOYOTA, 4808 UNIVERSITY DR. NW, HUNTSVILLE, AL 35816, (256) 837-1111) DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY CAMPAIGN, BUT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS.

TOYOTA HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION -MY 2007 CAMRY HAS 53K MILES AND HAS STARTED USING APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1K MILES. THIS IS EXCESSIVE. I WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

WAS DOING A 3000 MILE OIL CHANGE 3/29/2018 AND ONLY 1.5 QUARTS CAME OUT. CALLED THE DEALER WHO SAID ITS OUT OF WARRANTY, CANT DO ANYTHING FOR US. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED FROM THEM MAY 2017, THEY DIDN'T TELL US ABOUT THE TSB. ALL OIL CHANGES HAVE BEEN NORMAL UNTIL LAST WEEK. CROOKS!

CAR ACCELARTED WITHOUT STEPPING ON GAS PEDAL ON ITS OWN IN A PARKING LOT, TOOK REPETITIVE AND FORCEFUL PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE TO CONTROL CAR FROM CONTINUING INTO A WALL. MECHANIC (NOT DEALER) TESTED AND PROBLEM DIDN'T APPEAR. WHEN DRIVING CAR INTO HOME HOME PARKING SPOT, BACKING UP TO POSITION PLACE, THE CAR ACCELERATED ON IT OWN AGAIN AND STOPPED ONLY WITH FORCEFUL BRAKE PRESSURE.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS BEEN BLOWING BLUE SMOKE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BACK IN 2014, WHICH I PURCHASED THROUGH A DEALERSHIP. AFTER ANYTIME I START MY CAR AFTER SITTING FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS IT WILL BLOW BLUE SMOKE EACH TIME. I GET MY OIL CHANGED WAY MORE OFTEN THEN I SHOULD TO TRY AND PREVENT THE SMOKE, I CHECK MY OIL ONCE A WEEK, AND NO MATTER WHAT I DO IT CONTINUES TO BLOW BLUE SMOKE.

THE DASHBOARD HAS RECENTLY STARTED "MELTING" AND HAS BECOME STICKY AND SHINY, CREATING A VERY DISTRACTING GLARE WHILE DRIVING IN THE SUNLIGHT THAT OBSTRUCTS MY VISIBILITY. ALTHOUGH TOYOTA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY PREVIOUSLY FOR THIS PROBLEM, I WAS NOT HAVING THIS ISSUE AT THE TIME THE WARRANTY WAS OFFERED. WHEN I CALLED THEM UP ASKING THEM TO REPLACE THEIR DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD, I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS "TOO OLD" TO QUALIFY AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY HUNDREDS (PERHAPS THOUSANDS?!) OF DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THEIR OWN SAFETY HAZARD. SAFETY HAZARDS CAUSED BY TOYOTA'S OWN NEGLIGENCE SHOULD NOT BE THE CUSTOMER'S FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX!

MY WIFE WAS RUN OFF THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 55MPH. SHE CENTERED THE FRONT OF HER CAR INTO A TELEPHONE POLE. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. CAR WAS TOTALED.
