2007 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

I APPLIED A VERY FAST PUMPING OF THE BRAKE TO SLOW VEHICLE WHILE IN ACCELERATING TRAFFIC LANE. TRAVELING ONLY ABOUT 25 MPH, ATTEMPTING TO DISTANCE MYSELF FROM VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME THAT WAS ACCELERATING MORE SLOWLY THAN WHAT I WAS ANTICIPATING, THE VEHICLE BEGAN ALARMING AND THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD EMERGENCY LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING. RECEIVED WARNING THAT THE ESC NEEDED TO BE CHECKED, THEN WARNED TO TAKE TO DEALER IMMEDIATELY. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OFF THE HIGHWAY; AT THAT POINT, CAR UNDRIVEABLE. AT THE DEALER, CHIEF TECHNICIAN ADVISED ME THAT THE SKID CONTROL RELAY SWITCHES REMAINED ON AFTER THE CAR WAS POWERED OFF AND ESSENTIALLY MELTED. COST OF REPAIR WAS $3700. DEALER WAS WILLING TO PAY HALF OF THE INVOICE BASED ON "GOOD WILL". I AM REPORTING THIS AFTER READING THIS LINK: HTTP://GREEN.AUTOBLOG.COM/2014/01/27/NHTSA-INVESTIGATING-30000-TOYOTA-CAMRY-HYBRIDS-BRAKE-ASSIST/ IN NO WAY DO I FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS CATASTROPHIC OCCURRENCE NOR FOR THE REPAIR COST. THE FAULT APPEARS TO BE IN POOR MECHANICAL DESIGN, BUT UNTIL THE COMPANY ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY I AM OBLIGED TO PAY. I AM GRATEFUL THERE WAS NO INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

STARTED CAR UP AND "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" SIGNAL COMES ON, AFTER DOING RESEARCH TURNS OUT THOUSANDS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON A COMPUTER. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD ME IT WILL COST 2,800. I FEEL THIS IS AN ISSUE THEY KNOW ABOUT BECAUSE SOME CUSTOMERS SAY THEIR REPLACEMENT PART LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THE REGULAR. NOW THE CAR SHAKES WHEN IT BRAKES. *TR

INITIAL BURNING SMELL COMING FROM DRIVER DOOR. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON, THERE WERE VISIBLE FLAMES APPEARING IN THE CONTOL BUTTONS OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER MASTER SWITCH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 20 MPH, THE VSC WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE BRAKES FAILED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE VSC SYSTEM FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 210,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD RESPOND. IN ADDITION, THE ABS AND VSC WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000. *TR

AS I WAS SLOWING FOR A STOP SIGN, THE CHECK VSC SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD TO PUSH HARDER ON THE BRAKES THAN I NORMALLY DO. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND AFTER A SHORT TIME RESTARTED IT AND THE CAR PROCEEDED NORMALLY. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH, THE BRAKE, VSC, AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. I PULLED INTO A TURN LANE AND SLOWED TO A STOP. AGAIN I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL HARDER THAN NORMAL. *TR

FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS HAVE NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL "PULSING" ON STARTING THE CAR AND SOMETIMES ON STOPPING AT INTERSECTIONS. THEN THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILST DRIVING BUT WITH NO IMPACT ON THE BRAKES AND THEN WHILST EXITING THE FREEWAY ALL THE BRAKE WARNINGS LIGHTS AND CHECK VSC SYSTEM MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED WITH LOSS OF ASSISTED BRAKING. TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT ON BRAKING TO ENTER THE INSPECTION BAY ALL WARNING LIGHTS WENT OUT. TOYOTA TECHNICIAN COULDN'T FIND AN ERROR CODE IN THE HISTORY AND AFTER DRIVING 15 MILES THE WARNING LIGHTS DIDN'T COME BACK ON. TECHNICIAN DID COMMENT THAT THEY'D HAD OTHER CAMRY HYBRIDS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AND SAID THE ABS ACTUATOR NEEDED REPLACING AT A COST OF $3,400! I WAS TOLD THAT TOYOTA ARE USING A DIFFERENT PART ON LATER MODEL CAMRY HYBRIDS WHICH IN ITSELF SEEMS AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THE PART IS FAULTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD AREA CLOSEST TO THE WINDSHIELD WAS MELTING, CAUSING THE MATERIAL TO BECOME VERY STICKY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT BECAUSE OF THE STICKY SUBTANCE, THE LIGHT REFLECTS OFF CAUSING THE CONTACT VISIBILITY TO BE BLOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR UNEXPECTEDLY FALLS AND OBSCURES LINE OF SIGHT. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. DURING AN INTERNET SEARCH REGARDING THIS ISSUE, IT CAME TO LIGHT THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE AS MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT. INSTEAD OF A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS, TOYOTA DECIDED TO EXTEND A WARRANTY TO 7 YEARS ON THIS ISSUE BUT DID NOT INFORM IT'S CUSTOMER BASE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, I DID NOT DISCOVER THIS WARRANTY EXTENSION UNTIL 3 MONTHS AFTER THEIR WARRANTY EXTENSION EXPIRED. TOYOTA IS NOT WILLING TO EXTEND THE COVERAGE AND FEELS THAT THEY HAVE FOLLOWED PROPER PROCEDURES. I COULD NOT DISAGREE MORE. I WAS USING MY WIFE'S CAR THIS WEEKEND, DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, MAKING A LANE CHANGE AT 65 MPH, WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE VISOR FLIPPED DOWN. MY IMMEDIATE REACTION WAS BRAKES... AND THANKFULLY ALL WAS OKAY. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE HANDLED AS A RECALL, NOT AS A CUSTOMER WARRANTY EXTENSION. *TR

ENGINE COILS KEEP GOING BAD HAD IT REPLACED AT THE TOYOTA DEALER AND CONTINUES TO FAIL. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN AS I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATION IT WOULD ONLY REACH 30 MPH, AND MY CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF. I ALMOST CRASHED DUE TO THAT INCIDENT NOT TO MENTION IT CONTINUES HAPPEN. I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT NOR ANY HARM TO MY CHILDREN. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT IS LOCKED, AND UNABLE TO USE. I HAD MY POWER WINDOW ALSO FAILED TO WORK ON SOME OCCASIONS I HAVE TO MANUALLY PUSH IT UP. I SO LOVE MY TOYOTA BUT THERE ARE ALSO 8 OTHER RECALL TO WHICH I CAN ALSO RELATE TO.

TAKATA RECALL - MY DASH HAS SUCH A BAD GLARE I HAVE TO PLACE SOMETHING OVER IT SO I CAN SEE SAFELY. THE DASH IS MELTING SO MUCH I CANNOT EVEN GET IT CLEANED BECAUSE THE DASH WIPES OFF WITH THE CLEANING RAGS. IT IS MELTING INTO MY SUN VISOR AND HAS A STRANGE ODOR IN THE CAR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT CONSUMERS HAVE TO SUFFER AND BE BLINDED, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ESP EARLY IN THE MORNING WHEN THE SUB IS SO BRIGHT! THE DASH IS PEELING OFF IN PLACES AS WELL, IT POPS UP AND HAS PIECES COMING OFF OR WIPING OFF AS IF THEY WERE BOILED AND VERY FRAGILE. I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF THE GLARE, THE STICKINESS THAT MAKES EVERYTHING STICK TO IT AND YOU CANNOT CLEAN THE DASH AT ALL OR IT SMUDGES OFF AS MENTIONED EARLIER. THE PHOTOS ALSO SHOW THE DASH IS MELTING INTO MY SUN SHADES.

I TURNED ON MY CAR AFTER DROPPING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNING (AROUND 8:30 AM). I NOTICED THE DASH BOARD IS SHOWING "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT IS ON. I TRIED TO DRIVE IN SLOW SPEED (10 MPH) AND PRESSED ON BRAKE BUT THE CAR IS NOT STOPPING AS FAST AS I EXPECT. I TRIED TO DRIVE UP TO ABOUT 10MPH AGAIN AND APPLIED BRAKE; THE RESULT IS SAME: CAR FAILS TO STOP FAST. THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE STILL ON AT THIS POINT. I PULLED OVER BY THE CURB, OPENED THE HOOD AND VISUALLY INSPECTED LEVELS OF BRAKE FLUID. FLUID LEVEL LOOKED NORMAL. WHEN I SAT BACK IN THE DRIVING SEAT, I NOTICED ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE OFF. THEN TRIED DRIVING AND APPLIED BRAKE. EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR WEDNESDAY 3/5/2014. I SUSPECT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH MY VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE MY SON WAS TRAVELING TO SCHOOL THE VSC LIGHT CAME ON THE WARNING PANEL. AT THAT TIME THE BRAKES WERE HARD TO OPERATE AND TOOK A FEW SECONDS TO REENGAGE AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP BRINGING THE CAR TO A SKIDDING STOP. AFTER A MINUTE THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND HE WAS ABLE TO TRAVEL AGAIN, BUT THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT MORNING TAKING MY OTHER KIDS TO SCHOOL WHEN THE ROADS WERE ICY! THIS IS A SITUATION WHERE SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED BEHIND FAULTY EQUIPMENT BEING IGNORED BY TOYOTA ON THE 2007 CAMRY HYBRIDS. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ABS SYSTEM COMPUTER PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO, THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL SPEED FOR A MINUTE MORE, AND THEN WENT BACK TO ZERO FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT TO ZERO, THEN REGISTERED CURRENT ENGINE TEMPERATURE, AND WENT TO ZERO AGAIN FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. THE NEXT MORNING, CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING AND ISSUES WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND ENGINE TEMPERATURE RESUMED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AT THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE ABS COMPUTER WAS NO LONGER WORKING AND THUS COULD NO LONGER COMMUNICATE WITH THE OTHER 4 COMPUTERS IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER IT WOULD COST $2,400 PLUS LABOR.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE HAS DASH BOARD MELTED WITH HEAT FROM SUN. THE PLASTIC COATING HAS TURNED INTO A STICKY GLUE LIKE SURFACE, IF I TOUCH THE SURFACE WITH HAND MY HAND GETS STUCK TO IT LIKE SUPER GLUE. FRONT DASH BOARD NOW REFLECT DIRECT LIGHT FROM SUN AND CREATES A VERY BRIGHT GLARE AND AFFECTS DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER VISIBILITY OF ROAD. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA COMPANY AND THEY DECLINED TO OFFER ANY HELP BECAUSE MY CAR IS MORE THEN 3 YEARS OLD AND IT HAS MORETHEN 36000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HOPE TO SEE THE RESPONSE FROM MANUFACTURE THANKS. *TR

DROPPING MY KID OFF AT SCHOOL ONE MORNING AND IT WAS VERY SUNNY. WE WERE LATE THAT MORNING SO A SCHOOL ATTENDANT CLOSED ONE SIDE OF THE GATE. THE SUN WAS VERY BRIGHT AND BECAUSE MY DASH IS MELTING, THE SUN BUT A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE GATE WAS OPEN BUT I WASN'T ABLE TO SEE THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE GATE WAS CLOSED (LARGE GLARE ON WINDSHIELD). I WAS ABLE TO MAKE OUT THAT THERE WERE NO CHILDREN AROUND TO PROCESS TO GO THROUGH THE GATE BUT COULDN'T CONFIRM THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF GATE WAS CLOSED. DRIVER SIDE OF GATE WAS OPEN SO I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE OTHER SIDE WOULD BE CLOSED. PUT A BIG DINT IN MY CAR BY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDOW. I EVEN HAD SUNSHADES ON. TOOK ALL PERCUSSIONS OTHER THAN GETTING OUT OF CAR TO LOOK. DIDN'T THINK IT WAS SOMETHING MANDATORY FOR ME TO DO. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THE MELTING DASHBOARD EVEN BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. *TR

ON MARCH 2, 2014 I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE WHEN I NOTICED THAT MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS HAD LIT UP ON THE DASH, INCLUDING THE WORDS "CHECK VSC SYSTEM". AT THAT POINT I TAPPED THE BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR AND REALIZED THAT THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR I NEEDED TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. I TRIED DRIVING IT SLOWLY DOWN THE STREET AND AT JUST 15-20 MPH THE CAR WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES AND PULLING IT FORWARD AND BACKWARDS A FEW TIMES THE WARNING LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND THE BRAKES SUDDENLY WORKED AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY, MARCH 3, 2014, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER, HOWEVER THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR PULL AN ERROR CODE FROM THE CARS COMPUTER. I WAS SENT ON MY WAY WITHOUT ANY REPAIR BEING DONE AND WAS TOLD IF THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN TO BRING IT BACK IN. I MENTIONED THE FORMAL INVESTIGATION BY THE NHTSA FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF IT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS LUCKY TO BE DRIVING SLOWLY WHEN THIS OCCURRED, WHICH DOESN'T SEEM TO BE THE CASE FOR OTHERS. AFTER READING OTHER CASES, I'M VERY CONCERNED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE DEFECTIVE PART (THE ABS ACTUATOR/ACCUMULATOR) SINCE THEY HAVE REDESIGNED THE REPLACEMENT PART. TOYOTA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL FOR THIS PART IMMEDIATELY! *TR

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE IN OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID ON A SURFACE STREET, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND REALIZED THAT THE CAR WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN. THE BRAKES HAD FAILED, AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD, THE DISPLAY SAID, "CHECK VSC SYSTEM". THE LIGHTS FOR THE "BRAKE" AND THE ABS LIGHTS WERE ALSO ILLUMINATED. LUCKILY WE DID NOT HAVE ANY CARS IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF US, OR TO THE RIGHT, SO WE WERE ABLE TO CHANGE LANES AND EXIT ON TO A SIDE ROAD. THE BRAKE SYSTEM CAME BACK ONLINE AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS, AND WE WERE ONCE AGAIN ABLE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN. THIS WAS A EXTREMELY TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE, AND I HAVE SINCE THEN FOUND OUT THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE FACED THE SAME PROBLEM, ON THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE PAST TO BOTH MY WIFE AND MYSELF, BUT FORTUNATELY WE WERE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT WHENEVER IT HAPPENED. THIS PROMPTED US TO TAKE OUR CAR IN TO THE DEALER AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKE SYSTEM. WE HAVE ALSO ASKED THE DEALER TO CHECK THE BRAKE SYSTEM WHENEVER WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, THE DEALER HAS NEVER DETECTED ANY ISSUE WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM, AND WE HAVE CONTINUED DRIVING OUR CAR UNAWARE OF THE POTENTIAL RISK. WE NEED TO USE OUR CAR, BUT ARE UNABLE TO BECAUSE IT IS NOW A SAFETY HAZARD. I URGE TOYOTA TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY AS IT DIRECTLY IMPACTS HUMAN LIVES. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I HAVE FOUND THAT THE COST TO FIX IT IS BETWEEN $2500 AND $3000. OUR CAR IS NEARING 7 YEARS OLD, AND THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS NEARLY 30% OF THE CAR'S WORTH. IT IS RIDICULOUS TO EXPECT A CONSUMER TO FOOT THE COST OF THIS BILL, WHEN INSTEAD IT SHOULD BE TOYOTA'S RESPONSIBILITY, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND IS A RISK TO PEOPLE'S LIVES. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SLOWLY STARTED TO DROOP EVENTUALLY ENDING UP ALL THE WAY DOWN AND IT WILL NOT STAY UP. IT IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT MY SON DOES NOT HAVE ANY OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. HOW THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE IS BEYOND ME. *TR

I'VE NOTICED MY 2007 CAMRY DASHBOARD IS MELTING UNDER THE HOT FLORIDA SUN. IN THE MORNINGS IS NOT AS STICKY BUT WHEN HEAT STARTS GOING UP THE DASHBOARD GET STICKIER AND SHINY MAKING A GLARE ON WINDSHIELD MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. THIS IS A PROBLEM I CANNOT HAVE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND SCRATCHES EASY. TOYOTA MELTING ON THE DASHBOARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING AND AFFECTED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF HOLLYWOOD (1841 N STATE ROAD 7, HOLLYWOOD, FL 33021, 855-472-9747) WHERE THE DASHBOARD WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS CHARGED A $250 SERVICE FEE FOR THE LABOR REQUIRED FOR THE REPAIR. AFTER THE DASHBOARD WAS REPLACED, THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V689000 (VISIBILITY), WHICH WAS RELATED TO THE INITIAL DASHBOARD FAILURE. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. RECENTLY, THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO MELT AGAIN AND AFFECTED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE WITH HAVING THE DASHBOARD REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOTIFY THE CONTACT THAT SHE WOULD BE ENTITLED TO A REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE INITIAL FEE FOR THE FIRST REPAIR. THE CONTACT SUBMITTED THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT, BUT HAD NOT HEARD BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

RE: FAULTY BRAKE FAILURES ON 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE V6 INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER ASSISTED BRAKING WHICH CAUSES ALL DASH LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING. IN-DASH BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING, ALL GAUGES INCLUDING TEMPERATURE, TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, AND ODOMETER GO TO ZERO AND STOP COUNTING. THE VEHICLE TAKES LONGER TO STOP. POWER CERRITOS TOYOTA CHARGES $2,600 TO REPLACE THE FAULTY BRAKE ACTUATOR. IT IS NOT COVERED BY MANUFACTURING WARRANTY. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY IN THE RAIN AN EXTREMELY LOUD ALARM WENT OFF AND THE VSC, BRAKE, ABS, AND TRIANGLE LIGHTS WERE ON WITHOUT MY FOOT BEING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP AND FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN WITHOUT INCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY IN DRY WEATHER AND WAS GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY AND THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE LOCKED UP AND SKIDDED 30 FEET. THIS TIME I ALMOST HIT 2 CARS BUT WAS ABLE TO STEER CLEAR. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS THE ACTUATOR. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS CAR WAS IN FOR THOSE LIGHTS GOING OFF AND DISABLES THE POWER GENERATORS FOR HELP IN SLOWING DOWN. IT ALSO HAPPENS IN THE CAR WASH. I HAVE NEVER FELT THE ABS WORK ON THIS CAR SINCE I'VE OWNED IT. IT ALWAYS SET THE CODE AND DISABLES IT. IT'S IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW AS I'M WRITING THIS WAITING FOR ME TO SAY FIX IT FOR $3000. ? I WAS HOPING NHTSA WOULD INVESTIGATE THIS CAR BEFORE IT'S FIXED TO SEE THE PROBLEM EVERYBODY IS COMPLAINING ABOUT. MY WIFE SAYS SHE WILL NEVER DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN AFTER ITS FIXED. IT WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING SITUATION. *TR

LIKE MANY OTHERS WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR (HYBRID), CHECK VSC SYSTEM WARNING CAME ON ALONG WITH MANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE CAR AND THE BRAKES STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. INSTEAD OF NORMAL BREAKING, IT NOW TAKES PUSHING THEM ALL THE WAY DOWN SOMETIMES. TOYOTA DEALER QUOTES $2600 FOR THE SAME REPAIR (PART REPLACEMENT) THAT LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE GRIPING ABOUT ONLINE? ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PART IS ONLY AVAILABLE FROM TOYOTA. THE CAR DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VERY SAME PROBLEM. FOR EXAMPLE: HTTP://WWW.CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM/NEWS/FEDS-INVESTIGATE-BRAKING-PROBLEMS-IN-TOYOTA-CAMRY-HYBRID-012814.HTML HERE'S 7 PAGES OF GRIPES: HTTP://WWW.TOYOTANATION.COM/FORUM/105-CAMRY-HYBRID/401450-2007-TCH-CHECK-VSC-SYSTEM-CODE-C1391.HTML HERE'S 11 MORE PAGES ON A WEBSITE SOMEONE CREATED ESPECIALLY FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE: HTTPS://WWW.CHECKVSCSYSTEM.COM/GUESTBOOK.PHP AND THERE'S MANY MORE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. TOYOTA'S OFFICIAL STANCE IS TO CLAIM "NO RECALL" AND LEVERAGE BEING THE ONLY SOURCE OF THE PART TO MAKE A KILLING OFF OF THIS (APPARENTLY) MASS PROBLEM (FOR THIS CAR). *TR

I TURNED ON MY CAR AND I NOTICED A "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" LIGHT COME ON ALONG WITH THE "BRAKE" LIGHT. I MADE SURE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS OFF AND THE WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED ON. I PULLED AWAY FROM MY HOUSE AND NOTICED THAT EVERY TIME I WENT TO BRAKE, MY BRAKE FELT HARD AND I COULD BARELY GET IT TO MOVE. I GOT ABOUT A MILE AWAY FROM MY HOUSE AND ABOUT 50 FEET FROM AN INTERSECTION I WENT TO SLOW DOWN, BUT MY BRAKE WAS STILL HARD AND WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE IT FAILED TO WORK FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS UNTIL IT FINALLY KICKED IN. THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME, OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY HIT A CAR FOR SURE. I MADE SURE TO KEEP MY DISTANCE FOR THE REST OF MY TRIP. ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK I NOTICED THE "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" AND "BRAKE" LIGHT WERE NO LONGER ON, AND MY BRAKE FELT BACK TO NORMAL. *TR

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE FOLLOWING WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON: 1 - CHECK VSC SYSTEM 2 - RED "BRAKE" INDICATOR (BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT) 3 - YELLOW INDICATOR (BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT) 4 - MASTER WARNING LIGHT 5 - ABS INDICATOR. CONTINUED THE REST OF THE 3 MILES TOWARDS HOME BUT BRAKES DID NOT SEEM RESPONSIVE. TOOK TO AUTOMOTIVE SHOP 2 MILES AWAY WHERE THEY CHECKED CODES AND QUOTED US A REPAIR BILL OF $3500 FOR REPLACEMENT OF ABS ACCUMULATOR. CALLED TOYOTA COMPLAINT LINE ON 2/26/2014 AND WAS TOLD DO NOT DRIVE CAR. WE HAD CAR TOWED TO TOYOTA DEALER AND ARE AWAITING DETERMINATION AS TO THE REPAIR AND IF TOYOTA WILL COVER COSTS FOR REPAIR. *TR

BRAKE LIGHT AND "CHECK VSC" SYSTEM ILLUMINATED WHILE EXITING INTERSTATE. BRAKING FORCE DROPPED BY ABOUT 75% AS IF ONLY REAR BRAKES WERE FUNCTIONAL. WAS ABLE TO SLOW EVENTUALLY AND PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF CAR. RESTARTED CAR AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND NEITHER BRAKE LIGHT NOR CHECK VSC CAME ON. SLOWLY DROVE CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND AM AWAITING DIAGNOSIS. *TR

PURCHASED 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID ON 2/19/14. ON 2/22/14 I WAS DRIVING 52 MPH ON A FREEWAY AT 0 GRADE WHEN CHECK VSC SYSTEM NOTIFICATION, ABS, BRAKE, MASTER WARNING AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK ADEQUATELY WHEN DEPRESSED TO STOP. I HAD TO DEPRESS FULLY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT ALSO TOOK OVER 80 YARDS TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. I CRUISED THROUGH A RED LIGHT DUE TO THIS-I AM VERY FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE, KILLED. VEHICLE IS NOW PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AND IS NOT DRIVEN. TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS DANGER TO LIFE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE VSC WARNING CAME ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL ALONG WITH THE PARKING BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT, THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY HESITATION IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. SINCE I WAS ON A TRIP HOME, I CONTINUED MY TRIP. THROUGHOUT THE TRIP I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKING BECAME MORE DIFFICULT, IN THAT I HAD TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO STOP. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING A LEAK IN THE BRAKE ACTUATOR. THEY QUOTED ME A $3000 COST ESTIMATE AND INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE UNPREDICTABLE BRAKING. THIS SEEMS LIKE A PROBLEM THAT MANY CAMRY HYBRID OWNERS ARE HAVING. I AM FORTUNATE TO HAVE ARRIVED HOME SAFELY! *TR

THE CAR BEGAN TO BURN OIL RAPIDLY BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. DEALER CLAIMS NO KNOWLEDGE OF CAUSE AND RECOMMENDS COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. *TR

CHECK VSC SYSTEM NOTIFICATION AS WELL AS THE ABS, BREAKS, WARNING AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL TURNED ON WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. WHEN BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE ABS ACCUMULATOR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH ON AN ICY ROAD, THE ABS ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, A CHIME SOUNDED AND A BURNING ODOR EMITTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO A SAFE LOCATION WHERE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED WHEN THE REQUIRED PART BECAME AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

VERY DISAPPOINTED AND NOT VERY LIKELY TO EVER RECOMMEND TOYOTA TO ANYONE. OUR QUESTION REMAINS............................CAN WE GET ANY REIMBURSEMENT. THE TOYOTAT SERVICE ADVISOR WAS SURPRISED THAT THE WATER PUMP, WHICH STARTED THIS FIASCO, FAILED WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE.

WHEN DRIVING AROUND 45MPH, ALL THE BRAKE LIGHTS, ABS CAME ON. WHEN CHECKED WITH TOYOTA DEALER, THEY MENTIONED THAT WE NEED TO REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR. IT COSTS ABOUT $3000. BASED ON INTERNET RESEARCH, IT LOOKS LIKE 2007 CAMRY HYBRID HAVE A POSSIBLE DEFECT. LOOKS LIKE SIMILAR PART WAS RECALLED RECENTLY WITH PRIUS MAKE, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY TOYOTA IS NOT RECALLING THE OTHER MAKES. IT SEEMS TO BE WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH 2007 CAMRY HYBRID. *TR

TL * THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, A GLARE APPEARED ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT MADE IT DIFFICULT TO VIEW THE ROAD. THE GLARE WAS DUE TO THE DASHBOARD MELTING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS ALSO STICKY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000. JCC UPFDATED 09/16/14*LJ UPDATED 1/13/2015 *JS

WHILE DRIVING I ATTEMPTED BRAKE TO SLOW ENTRY INTO UPHILL DRIVEWAY. ALL LIGHTS ON DRIVER PANEL LIT UP. BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. WITH FULL FORCE I DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL. SINCE DRIVE WAY WAS UPHILL, I COASTED TO STOP JUST SHORT OF GARAGE DOOR BEFORE CRASHING. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE BRAKES TOTALLY FAILED DURING LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. I DROVE TO DEALERSHIP FOR SECOND TIME TO HAVE BEAKS INSPECTED. THE CAR WAS ALSO MAKING LOUD NOISE WHENEVER BRAKES APPLIED. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS EXAMINED BY SEVERAL TECHNICIANS. AGAIN, THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH BRAKES AND TOLD ME THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE! DESPITE SEVERAL RECENT BRAKE FAILURES, TWO VISITS TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE LOUD NOISE WHEN BRAKING CAME FROM THE "BRAKE ACTUATOR," WHICH COULD BE REPLACED FOR $2,900! QUOTE FROM SERVICE INVOICE OF MARCH 18, 2014, FOLLOWS: "TECH 165630 PERFORMED DIAGNOSIS ON BRAKE NOISE FROM INSIDE CAB OF VEHICLE. TEST DROVE WITH CUSTOMER TO VERIFY NOISE. FOUND THAT BRAKE ACTUATOR IS THE CAUSE OF INTERNAL NOISE WHEN AT A STOP WHILE BRAKE IS APPLIED. SUGGEST NEW BRAKE ACTUATOR AND BRAKE FLUSH AND RE-TEST FOR NOISE AGAIN." SERVICE MANAGER AND TECHNICIANS SAID, "IT' SAFE TO DRIVE." I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. SINCE I AM A VISITING HOSPICE NURSE, THAT CAR IS MY OFFICE. I WONDER WHEN THE BRAKES WILL FAIL AGAIN, AND WHEN THE INCESSANT LOUD NOISE WILL STOP. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT FOREIGN CAR REPAIR SHOP. THEY SAID, "THE ACTUATOR IS THE SOURCE OF THE NOISE AND YOUR BRAKING PROBLEM. HOWEVER, WE CAN'T GET AN ACTUATOR TO REPLACE TOYOTA'S PART BECAUSE IT IS A "LOCKED PART" IN THE ENGINE. ONLY TOYOTA DEALERS CAN OBTAIN THE PART, AND ONLY A TOYOTA DEALER CAN INSTALL THE PART." WILL YOU HELP? *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND SEEMS TO BE MELTING HAS A GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD, AND THE SIDE WINDOW CASING OVER AIRBAGS ALONG WINDSHIELD WINDOWS IS WARPED AND KEEP POPING OUT EXPOSEING WIRES.I BOUGHT THIS CAR ONE YEAR AGO AND AS I WAS TOLD IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS SO WHAT AM I TO DO?

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK DRIVING APPROX 40 MILES PER HOUR, ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DASH SAYS "CHECK VSC SYSTEM",RED BRAKE LIGHT TURNS ON,ABS LIGHT TURNS ON AND LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT TURNS ON.I IMMEDIATELY CHECK MY BRAKES,I HAVE NO BRAKES! I JUST KEPT PUMPING TRYING TO GET ANYTHING OUT OF THEM. I STARTED MOVING OVER TO MY RIGHT (NEARLY SIDE SWIPED A CAR) AND PULLED INTO A STRIP MALL.AFTER CALMING DOWN,I DROVE SLOWLY AROUND THE PARKING LOT TO SEE IF I HAD BRAKES. ALL OF THE LIGHTS STAYED ON BUT MY BRAKES WERE BACK,I CONTINUED THE LAST MILE TO WORK. AT THIS POINT, AS I USED THE BRAKES, MY ROTORS FELT EXTREMELY WARPED. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, I FOUND TONS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, "C1391". I CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER,EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND WHAT I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE,HE TOOK MY VIN# AND GAVE ME A QUOTE OF $3200 TO REPAIR. AT THAT POINT,I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICES AND FILED A COMPLAINT,THEY DID SOME RESEARCH TO SEE IF ANY OF THE ISSUE WAS A RECALL,OF COURSE IT WASN'T. I TOLD THE GUY THAT I GUESS IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE A RECALL THERE NEEDS TO BE AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF ACCIDENTS TO OCCUR,OR PEOPLE NEED TO DIE,OR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. HE TOOK DOWN ALL OF MY INFO,TOLD ME I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO TOYOTA TO BE DIAGNOSED AND THEN TO CALL THE TOYOTA"OUT OF WARRANTY ASSISTANCE DEPARTMENT" FOR POSSIBLE HELP WITH THE BILL. I TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA,IT WAS DIAGNOSED JUST AS ALL OF THE OTHER CARS I READ ABOUT WERE "C1391" INTERNAL ABNORMAL LEAK WITH THE BREAK ACTUATOR. BETWEEN TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE AND TOYOTA THEY WERE ABLE TO HELP ME OUT WITH SOME OF THE BILL EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. IT WASN'T COMPLETELY COVERED IN THE LEAST BIT, BUT IT MADE IT A LITTLE MORE MANAGEABLE. *TR

MY CARS BRAKE SYSTEM IS MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE, AND I'M SEEING A LOSS OF BREAKING ABILITY. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT WITH THE BRAKES DEPRESSED IT IS PARTICULARLY NOTICEABLE AND LOUD. FINALLY THE CHECK VSC SYSTEM WARNING CAME ON THE DASH SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSES. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR IS MAKING THE NOISE AND THE ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE IS LOWER THAN SPEC. THE QUOTE TO REPAIR IT WAS $5104.61. *TR

WHILE SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP LIGHT SPEED WAS AROUND 45 MPH I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN DROP IN BRAKE PRESSURE CAUSING ME TO APPLY HARD PRESSURE IN ORDER TO KEEP FROM HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STOPPING BUT INCHES FROM THE OTHER VEHICLES BUMPER. WHEN THE LOSS OF BRAKE PRESSURE WAS HAPPENING I ALSO NOTICED MULTIPLE LIGHTS CAME ON AND AFTER THE STOP ON THE DISPLAY THERE WAS A CHECK VSC SYSTEM MESSAGE THAT WILL NOT EXTINGUISH. THIS MORNING IT IS STILL IN THE SAME CONDITION. I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER AND THEY TOLD ME A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK WOULD BE AROUND 105.00 DOLLARS. I HAVE SINCE DONE RESEARCH AND HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS AND THE COST OF REPAIR(UPWARDS OF 3,000) IS RIDICULES. IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND KNOW PROBLEM TOYOTA NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THE ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS ITEM ABS ACTUATOR NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AS THE CULPRIT. I NEED MY CAR TO GET TO WORK BUT WHO CAN AFFORD 3,000.00 AT THE DROP OF A HAT AND DO I WANT TO RISK MY LIFE. *TR

I STARTED TO FEEL STICKY SPOTS ON THE TOP-SIDE DASHBOARD FACING WINDSHIELD. THE SOFT, STICKY SPOTS WERE ACCUMULATING LIGHT-COLORED DUST OVER THE PAST YEAR. THEY WERE NOT GREASY, BUT EXTREMELY STICKY AND TACKY TO THE TOUCH. THE ACCUMULATED DUST WAS NOT CLEANABLE OR ABLE TO BE REMOVED WITHOUT DAMAGING DASHBOARD MATERIAL. (I RUBBED OFF THE TOP LAYER OF PLASTIC TRYING TO GENTLY CLEAN WITH A WET POLY TOWEL). THEY WERE STARTING TO REFLECT OFF MY WINDSHIELD DURING DAYTIME DRIVING. I IGNORED THIS ISSUE FOR A WHILE BUT LATELY NOTICED THE INTERIOR GLARE IS GETTING WORSE TOWARD THE FRONT OF MY DASHBOARD AT THE WINDSHIELD JUNCTION. IT'S ESPECIALLY PRESENT ON BRIGHT DAYS WHERE THE SUN IS HIGH UP. THIS IS PRESENTING A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH REGARDS TO OUTWARD DRIVING VISIBILITY. TOYOTA HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND I STARTED A PROBLEM CASE WITH THEM. I AM AWAITING FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS ON WHAT TOYOTA WANTS TO DO NEXT WITH MY VEHICLE. A SPECIAL "WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT" HAS BEEN STARTED TO ADDRESS THIS "COSMETIC CONCERN." PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE TO ENSURE TOYOTA IS ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM APPROPRIATELY AND EXPEDITIOUSLY FOR OWNERS. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR DOES NOT SNAP BACK FLUSH WITH THE ROOF ANY MORE. IT CONTINUALLY DROPS DOWN AND REDUCES MY VISIBILITY. MAKES VIEWING TRAFFIC LIGHTS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR COULD NOT BE UN-LOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 12V491000 (VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

THE CAR EXPERIENCED SUDDEN RAPID ACCELERATION AND WENT THROUGH THE WALL INTO MY KITCHEN CAUSING OVER 14000 DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE AND 8100 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE CAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVE I HEAR A INTERMITTENT BEEP AND WHEN APPLYING BRAKES EITHER DOES NOT BRAKE, BRAKE PEDAL GETS STUCK AND CANNOT BRAKE OR SUDDENLY BRAKES ALSO INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES IN ORDER TO BRAKE AT ALL TIMES BECAUSE THE BRAKES NOT WORKS, I GOT ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON WITH CHECK VSC SYSTEM I WENT TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO CHECK THE ISSUE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKE ACTUATOR PUMP DOES NOT WORK NOW IN ORDER TO FIX IT I HAVE TO PAY ALMOST 3500 TO REPLACE THAT PART THAT'S ROBBERY FROM TOYOTA I SEE FROM DIFFERENT FORUMS THAT PART BREAKS ON TOYOTA HYBRIDS EASILY AND STILL TOYOTA DOES NOT WANT TO RECALL THAT PART AND I KNOW TOYOTA CHANGE THE PART ADDRESS THE ISSUE BUT STILL NO RECALL ON OURS CARS AND TO PAY 3500 FOR MANUFACTURE DEFECT IS OUTRAGEOUS. *TR
