MY 2007 CAMRY XLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A SMART KEY SYSTEM. WHEN I ENTER THE CAR I DEPRESS THE FOOT BREAK PEDDLE AND WAIT FOR THE GREEN LIGHT ON THE START BUTTON TO TURN GREEN WHEN IT DOES I START THE CAR. BUT SOME TIME THERE IS NO LIGHT YELLOW OR GREEN. I WAIT A SHORT WHILE AND TRY AGAIN AND MAYBE THERE IS A GREEN LIGHT OR A YELLOW LIGHT OR NOTHING. I CHANGED THE REMOTE BATTERY BUT THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I CALLED THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAMRY IN FOR A TEST AND THE COST WILL BE $ 90.00 I THINK THIS IS NOT FAIR. I TALKED TO SEVERAL CAMRY OWNERS AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM HELP PLEASE.[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE OWN A 2007 CAMRY HYBRID. ABOUT NOON CENTRAL TIME TODAY, MY WIFE WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE CAR AT A LOCAL GYM.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE'S DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR LAST WEEK START TO DROOP DOWN AND WOULD NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION CAUSING AN OBSTRUCTION OF MY DRIVING VIEW. I HAD TO TURN THE VISOR TO THE SIDE BUT THAT EVENTUALLY STOPPED ROTATING TOO. IT TURNS OUT THE METAL INSERT HAD COME OUT AND WAS NO LONGER PROVIDING ANY TRACTION TO THE VISOR. APPARENTLY THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE WITH TOYOTA CAMRY'S AROUND THAT YEAR'S MODEL. IT WAS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAD TO REMOVE THE VISOR MANUALLY FOR MY OWN SAFETY AND FOUND THAT THE PARTS INSIDE WERE DAMAGED. MY SUSPICION IS THAT IT WAS POORLY CONSTRUCTED SINCE MY 1998 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS HAD NO SUN VISOR ISSUES AFTER 13 YEARS OF WEAR AND TEAR. LUCKILY I NOTICED PROBLEM AND DID NOT START DRIVING IMMEDIATELY. I HAD TO USE MY LEFT ARM TO HOLD THE SUN VISOR UP FOR MY DRIVE BACK HOME. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE AS THIS CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT VISIBILITY ISSUES AND LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND RECALLED BY TOYOTA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE WITH 32,000 MILES: DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR SUN VISOR FAILS TO STAY IN UPRIGHT POSITION AND LOCKING CLIP SNAPPED INSIDE VISOR WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SECURE. THE VISOR HAS HAD PROBLEMS BEING LOOSE FOR MONTHS AND FALLS DOWN WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. THE CLIP WOULD OCCASIONALLY COME UNDONE, CAUSING THE VISOR TO SWING OPEN. WHEN CLICKING THE VISOR'S LOCK BAR INTO THE ROOF LOCK, THE BAR BROKE OFF WITH MINOR FORCE APPLIED. NOW VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE IN ANY POSITION, CAUSING DANGEROUS VISIBILITY ISSUE. AUTH DEALER OFFERED TO REPLACE FOR $185, SAYING CANNOT REPAIR. STEEP PRICE FOR SIMILAR PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED BY MANY MANY OTHER 2007 CAMRY OWNERS. *TR

MY 2007 CAMRY'S DASHBOARD SEEMS TO BE "MELTING." IT IS VERY STICKY AND REFLECTS A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD - MAKING IT HARD TO SEE. I AM AFRAID IT WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, SO I KNOW THERE MUST BE A SOLUTION OR A RECALL SOON. TOYOTA CHANGED DASHBOARD MATERIAL IN 2009 (FROM WHAT I HEARD ON THE NEWS) SO IT MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE... PLEASE HELP! *TR

THE VISORS STOPPED STAYING UP, THEY ARE NOT WORKING, FIRST THE DRIVERS SIDE BROKE, IT JUST FALLS DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP. THEN ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE FELL DOWN, I HAVE TO USE A STRAIGHT PEN TO MASH THEM TO STAY UP. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY TOYOTA SINCE I READ ABOUT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WHO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. *KB

MY 2007 CAMRY SUN VISOR FAILED WITHIN TWO MONTHS APART. IT STARTED ON APRIL 12, 2011. MY DRIVER SIDE WENT OUT AND THEN MY PASSENGER SIDE. *KB

MY VEHICLE IS CONSUMING OIL IN EXTREME QUANTITIES, A QUART EVERY 800-1000 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS MANUFACTURERS DEFECTIVE PISTONS AND PISTON RINGS AND TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT DENIES TO TAKE ACTION. I HAVE TO FILL MY ENGINE WITH THE OIL EVERY 2800 MILES OR SO OR TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE. MY ENGINE, I'M AFRAID WILL DEFECT IN DRIVING CAUSING HARM TO ME AND OTHERS AROUND ME BECAUSE I DON'T FOLLOW MY MILEAGE AND ONLY WAY I KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM MY OIL LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF WHEN I'M BRAKING THAT'S THE SIGN THAT I HAVE TO GET OIL CHANGE. NOW ITS NOT ENVIRONMENTAL EITHER EVEN THOUGH TOYOTA CLAIMS THAT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IS COMING OUT THEIR EARS ALL THE TIME WHEN THAT MUCH OIL IS BURNED INTO THE AIR AND FUNNY THING IS IT DOESN'T EVEN SMOKE IN TAIL PIPE AND VEHICLE PASSES EVERY EMISSION TEST. HOW??? I DON'T KNOW. ALL I KNOW IS THAT MY ENGINE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN AND DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFAULTED PARTS BECAUSE I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE GUY THAT OTHER YEAR TOYOTAS HAVE DIFFERENT PISTONS AND PISTON RINGS AND I ASSUME IT WOULD BE RIGHT FOR OUR CARS TO RECEIVE THOSE BECAUSE WE PAID FULL AMOUNT FOR THESE CARS AND WE SHOULDN'T RECEIVE SHORT END OF THE STICK. I ASK YOU TO PUSH THIS FOR A RECALL BECAUSE TOYOTA OWNS THIS TO ITS OWNERS. THANK YOU. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE HAS BEEN MELTING AND THERE IS A SHINE REFLECTION OF THE DASHBOARD IN THE WINDSHIELD CREATING A VISIBILITY PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW WHEN IT CAME OUT AT MAROON TOYOTA AT WESTON, FL. WHEN I STARTED WITH THE PROBLEM I TOOK IT TO THIS DEALERSHIP AND THE MANAGER SAID MY CAR WAS OUR OF WARRANTY AND COULD DO NOTHING. I ALSO TOOK IT TO HEADQUARTERS TOYOTA IN MIAMI WHERE I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY CAR FOR MAINTENANCE AND I GOT THE SAME REPLY. I CALLED TOYOTA USA AND THE AGENT SAID HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE EITHER BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD OF THE CAR HAS A WARRANTY OF ONLY 3 YEARS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OF THE CAR. I NEVER HEARD OF A MELTING DASHBOARD AND MY CAR RIGHT NOW HAS LESS THAN 65K AND THIS STARTED WHEN IT WAS AROUND 50K MILES. PLEASE, CAN YOU HELP? I AM SURE I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING. THANK YOU *TR

I NOTICED WHEN APPLYING SUDDEN BRAKES LOW ENGINE OIL LIGHT CAME ON BUT IT WENT AWAY WHEN BRAKES WERE RELEASED. I THOUGHT IT MAY BE TIME FOR OIL CHANGE AND GOT OIL CHANGE DONE SHORTLY. THAT PROBLEM DIDN'T CAME BACK TILL FEW MONTHS LATER. I HAD MY OIL CHANGE DONE FROM THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE WAS NOT DUE YET SO I WENT TO THE NEARBY AUTO SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME IT DIDN'T SHOW ANY OIL IN THE DIPSTICK SO THEY DID THE OIL CHANGE AND FILLED IT UP(NO VISIBLE PROBLEM NOTICED). I THOUGHT I WILL GET IT INSPECTED WITH THE DEALER ON MY NEXT VISIT. NEXT TIME WHEN I WENT TO DEALER I MENTIONED IT AND THEY WERE TOO BUSY TO CHECK THAT BUT THEY DID VISUAL INSPECTION AND DIDN'T SEE ANY PROBLEM OR LEAKS. AGAIN AFTER SAME ISSUE THEY TOLD ME TO COME AFTER 1200 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE BUT THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM. I HAD TO CARRY THE OIL WITH ME JUST IN CASE AS THE NEARBY AUTO PLACE TOLD ME IT WAS ABNORMAL. I HAD TO TOP IT UP AGAIN SHORTLY AS THE DIP STICK SHOWED NO OIL. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME TO COME BACK AFTER 2500 MILES AND THEY SEALED THE KNOB WITH SILICON OR SOMETHING SO IT CANNOT BE TAMPERED WITH AND THEY TOLD ME TO COME ON WEEKDAY SO THEY CAN TALK TO THE TOYOTA ENGINEER. WHEN I RETURNED THEY TESTED IT AND FOUND NORMAL CONSUMPTION AND NO PROBLEM FOUND. I AM STILL FACING THAT PROBLEM AND I CALLED TOYOTA HOTLINE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD GO BY THE DEALERS OPINION ON THAT AND THERE WAS NO KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN I READ THESE POSTS ON THIS WEBSITE THEN IT DEFINITELY SEEMS LIKE A PROBLEM AND NOW MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY EITHER . MY ENGINE IS STILL FINE, ONLY PROBLEM IS I HAVE TO CHANGE OIL TOO FREQUENTLY. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ENGINE IN FUTURE I DEFINITELY HOPE TOYOTA WILL COVER IT SINCE THEY HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED ANY PROBLEM ON MY ENGINE AFTER SO MANY VISITS. *TR

DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND THE CONDITION IS GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY. THE WHOLE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND THIS ALSO CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE THE VISIBILITY IS IMPAIRED BY THE GLARE WHEN DAYS ARE SUNNY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN TO HOLD TOYOTA RESPONSIBLE. *TR

WE HAVE BEEN REPORTING THE PROBLEM TO TWO SEPARATE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND THEY'VE ASKED ME TO RETURN THE CAR FOR OIL CHECKS AFTER 1000 MILES, WHICH SHOW A LOST OF OVER A QUART OF OIL. OUR TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN TELLING US THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THE CAMRY TO CONSUME OVER A QUART OF OIL AFTER 1000 TO 3,000 MILES AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM TO FIX.
