2007 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, HE NOTICED A FOREIGN PIECE OF RUBBER FOAM ON THE GROUND NEAR THE VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE WARNING PANEL UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL WIRING HAD BEEN GNAWED ON BY A RODENT. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,945 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A DITCH, THE VEHICLE WAS STILL ACCELERATING WHILE IT WAS STUCK IN THE DITCH WHICH CAUSED THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE TO CATCH ON FIRE. NO ONE WAS INJURED DURING THE INCIDENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. FOUR DAYS PRIOR TO THE RECENT INCIDENT THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER, 09V388000 AND 10V017000 WERE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 26000.

ON MARCH 2ND MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN AN HIT IN RUN ACCIDENT WHICH SHE WAS DRIVING A 2007 SE TOYOTA CAMRY, CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED BY THE TOYOTA DEALER. SHE WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR, SHE HAD TO BE AIRLIFTED FOR THE HEAD INJURIES SHE RECEIVED DO TO THE SIDE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. CAR WAS TAKEN BY THE INSURANCE AND VALUED AS TOTAL LOST. SO I MY SELF BEEN OWNER OF MORE THAN 5 CAMRYS AND NOW AM AFRAID TO BUY ONE AGAIN DO TO THERE POOR SAFETY. I THINK A CAR THAT GOT HIT GOING AROUND 50MPH AND THE CAR OF THE IMPACT WAS TRAVELING 60MPH AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE OPEN CAUSE IS ANYONE GETS HIT HARDER FOR THE AIRBAGS TO OPEN WILL END UP DEAD. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) I RECEIVED A TOYOTA SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2007 CAMRY. THE NOTICE DESCRIBED THREE SEPARATE REPAIRS/REMEDY TO MY VEHICLE. THE FIRST REPAIR INVOLVED INSTALLING A METAL SHIM IN THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY, WHICH I HAD THE DEALER PERFORM. THE SECOND "REMEDY" INVOLVED A TECHNICIAN CUTTING A SECTION OFF THE END OF THE GAS PEDAL AND CUTTING OUT A SECTION OF PADDING FROM UNDER THE DRIVERS FLOOR PAN CARPET. I DECLINED THIS WORK AS I HAVE A NEWLY DESIGNED AWFM PROPERLY SECURED IN PLACE AND DO NOT BELIEVE THIS "REMEDY" WOULD RETAIN THE OEM QUALITY OF THE VEHICLE - TOYOTA SHOULD REDESIGN AND INSTALL A NEW GAS PEDAL INSTEAD. THE THIRD REPAIR INVOLVED INSTALLING A BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM. OF THE THREE REPAIRS, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT AS IT OFFERS A BROAD LEVEL OF PROTECTION AGAINST UNINTENDED ACCELERATION VERSUS THE NARROW LEVEL OF PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE OTHER TWO. WHEN I CALLED MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM INSTALLED THEY REFUSED TO DO THE WORK WITHOUT ALSO PERFORMING THE GAS PEDAL AND CARPET PADDING MODIFICATION "REMEDY". I EXPLAINED MY DISPUTE OVER THIS WORK AND WAS GIVEN THE NUMBER TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE. AFTER A FORTY MINUTE WAIT I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE HILDA. SHE ALSO STATED THAT TOYOTA WAS UNWILLING TO INSTALL THE BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM WITHOUT DOING THE OTHER MODIFICATION WORK. WHEN I ASKED HER FOR A REASON SHE STATED THAT TOYOTA AGREED TO NHTSA TO DO THE WORK AS A SINGLE RECALL. WHEN I PRESSED HER TO DETERMINE IF THE NHTSA REQUIRED TOYOTA TO ONLY PERFORM THE WORK IF BOTH THE REPAIR AND "REMEDY" WERE DONE TOGETHER, SHE STATED SHE WAS UNABLE TO HELP ME FURTHER AND PROVIDED ME WITH A CASE NUMBER ([XXX]). WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO MAKE MY VEHICLE SAFE? WHY IS CUTTING UP A VEHICLE WITHOUT COMMITTING TO PROPERLY REPAIRING IT AT A LATER DATE CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE? *TR

AFTER RICE TOYOTA IN GREENSBORO "FIXED" MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ON 2/27/2010 FOR BOTH RECALLS I HAVE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN SURGE IN ACCELERATION TWICE. ONCE FROM A STANDING START WHEN I SLIGHTLY DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR SUDDENLY TOOK OFF AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE THAN I INTENDED, THE SECOND TIME WAS IN TRAFFIC WHILE ACCELERATING TO A HIGHER SPEED LIMIT THE CAR SURGED PAST THE LIMIT. PLEASE LOOK AT THE ECU'S, THIS CAR HASN'T BEEN RIGHT SINCE THE FIRST TANK OF GAS WAS USED, IT'S AS IS THE ECU ISN'T ALLOWING THE TIMING TO ADVANCE AND RETARD PROPERLY. *TR

WAS PARKING MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN PARKING LOT BETWEEN TWO CARS WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED CAUSING ME TO HIT TWO CARS IN THE SPACES ADJACENT TO THE PARKING SPACE I WAS ENTERING. THESE CARS WERE IN FRONT OF THE SPACE I WAS ENTERING. THIS OCCURRED AFTER RECALL REPAIRS TO THE GAS PEDAL WERE MADE ON 2/11/10. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER STATES UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED IN 2007 HE REPORTED TO TOYOTA AN ACCELERATOR PROBLEM. THERE WAS A HESITATION WHEN PRESSING THE PEDAL. AFTER STATING NOTHING WAS WRONG, TOYOTA PROVIDED AN INTERNAL BULLETIN; NOT A PUBLIC BULLETIN TO GERMAIN TOYOTA OF SARASOTA AS A RESULT THE DEALER USED A COMPUTER TO RECALIBRATE THE ECM. UPDATED 04/06/10.*JB THE CONSUMER STATED HE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE SUDDEN ACCELERATED PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM WAS DUE TO THE ECM. UPDATED 04/21/10

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE -- I SAW SOMETHING ON TV THAT THERE MAY BE IN AN ISSUE WITH POWER GRIDS/ELECTRO MAGNETIC FIELDS AND THE NEWER CAMRY'S. MY WIFE HAS A 2007 CAMRY AND THERE IS FULL BLOCK IN DOWNTOWN TAMPA (NEXT TO TECO OUR HQ FOR POWER IN TAMPA) THAT HER PUSH-BUTTON START WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT WORK. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT IT WAS A BATTERY ISSUE WITH THE RESPONDER AND REPLACED IT. THE PUSH BUTTON START WORKED EVERYWHERE EXCEPT NEXT TO THIS GRID AND IS STILL AN ISSUE -- WE HAVE TO PARK ONE BLOCK AWAY TO GO TO THAT AREA. ALTHOUGH, THERE ARE NO DIRECT SAFETY ISSUES WITH THIS ISSUE IT MAY BE GOOD INFORMATION FOR YOUR OVERALL STUDY. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THERE PREVENTING HER CAR TO WORK CORRECTLY. OTHER VEHICLES IN THIS SAME AREA HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

I OWN A 2007 CAMRY SOLARA, MY CARS GAS PEDAL GETS STUCK WHEN I AM AT A STOP LIGHT AND PROCEED INTO TRAFFIC THE CARS MOMENTARILY STAYS IN AN IDLED POSITION FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, UNTIL IT KICKS FORWARD AND ACCELERATES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND FINANCIALLY I AM STILL PAYING FOR A CAR THAT IS PARKED, BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL IT SAFE TO DRIVE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO PUT THE CAMRY SOLARA ON THE LIST. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND WITHOUT THE RECALL THEY REFUSE TO EVEN DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR MY CAR, AT MY EXPENSE NO LESS, I DO NOT FEEL THAT SOLARA OWNERS SHOULD BE IGNORED AND FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. I DO NOT WANT TO HURT MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE BY TAKING A CHANCE ON DRIVING A CAR THAT IS OUT OF CONTROL. PUT THE SOLARA'S ON THE RECALL LIST, AND MAKE MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS AT EASE WITH A REPAIR AND GAS PEDAL REPLACEMENT IMMEDIATELY. *TR

MY DASH PANEL IS STICKY CRACKING AND IN A STATE OF DETERIORATION . MY CONCERN IS THAT IN AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT PARTS OF THIS CRACKED DASH COULD IMPACT MY EYES LIKE BROKEN GLASS. THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND RARELY USED AS IT IS AT A VACATION HOME. IT DOES NOT SIT IN THE SUN OR A PARKING LOT. IT IS DETERIORATING ON ITS OWN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CAMRY XLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS FIXED FOR THE ACCELERATOR RECALL ON FEBRUARY 22, 2010. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH OR LESS, THE DRIVER NOTICED THAT HER RPMS STARTED INCREASING. WHEN SHE TOOK HER FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE TO A FRIENDS HOME THAT WAS NEARBY; HOWEVER, SHE OBSERVED THE ACCELERATOR RELEASE AND THEN WATCHED IT IMMEDIATELY GO DOWN TO THE FLOOR ON ITS OWN. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THIS FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS DIAGNOSING THE FAILURE WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 65,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE RECALL WAS REPAIRED FOR THE POWER TRAIN: CLUTCH ASSEMBLY: PEDAL LINKAGE, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO HAVE RAPID/SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT HAS NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME OF REPAIRS. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THE REPAIR WILL NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE WITH THE STICKY PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A RED LIGHT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. HE STATED HE ENGAGED THE BRAKE, AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, IT STARTED AS NORMAL. HE THEN DROVE HOME AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 56,254.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAD THE RECALL FIXES FOR THE GAS PEDAL AND MAT INTERFERENCE COMPLETED LAST WEEK. AS A RESULT OF THAT "REPAIR" THERE IS A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL, AND THE VEHICLE IDLES VERY FAST IN REVERSE AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT DISENGAGE PROPERLY. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK VSC CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON, WE CONTACTED THE TOYOTA ON FRIDAY AND SAID IT WAS NOT RELATED TO THE "REPAIR" AND THAT IT WOULD CLEAR BY ITSELF, IT HAS NOT. *TR

THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 28,500. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL. UPDATED EVOQ 08/05/10.*JB

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE DEALER IN REDDING, CA ABOUT THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM WITHIN A MONTH OF OWNERSHIP; HOWEVER, THEY SAID IT IS NORMAL OPERATION. I DOUBT IT VERY MUCH, HOW THE CRUISE CONTROL RESUMES BACK TO THE SET SPEED ALMOST INSTANTLY BY RAISING THE RPM OVER 5000, WHICH WILL MAKE YOU FEEL THE CAR IS GOING OUT OF CONTROL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING CARS FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND OWN MANY MAKES AND MODELS BUT NONE OF THEM BEHAVED IN THIS WAY. THIS WAS MY FIRST TOYOTA CAR, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THE CAR MAKER SHOULD LOOK IN TO THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS THAT MIGHT GIVE THEM CLUES ABOUT ACCIDENTAL ACCELERATION PROBLEMS THAT I AM HEARING REGULARLY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. SHE STATED UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED SUDDENLY AND ROARED VERY LOUDLY SIMILAR TO AN EXPLOSION. SHE COULD NOT SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AS IF IT WAS PREPARED TO TAKE OFF AT FULL SPEED. SHE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE DEALER, HOWEVER SHE COULD NOT GET THROUGH. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT YET BEEN CONTACTED. SHE WAS NOT AWARE IF THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL OR NOT. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 60,000.

I CALLED TOYOTA'S CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE LINE. I WAS HUNG UP ON TWICE BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE RECORDED MESSAGE THEY HAD TOO MANY CALLS SO I WOULD HAVE TO CALL BACK. . I THEN CALLED AGAIN AND GOT PUT ON HOLD FOR 2 HOURS AND 8 MINUTES. I WAS CALLING BECAUSE I HAD JUST COME FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND FLOOR MAT RECALL. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY 2007 CAMRY WITH JUST 29,700 MILE ON IT HAD BAD BREAK PADS AND ROTORS AND I NEED TO SPEND OVER $900 TO HAVE THE BREAKS REPAIRED. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP I NEED TO TALK WITH SOMEONE AT TOYOTA. THEY GAVE ME THE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE NUMBER TO CALL. AFTER I REACHED A REPRESENTATIVE I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND GET BACK TO ME TOMORROW. BECAUSE I DID NOT RECEIVE A CALL BACK I WENT ON THE WEB AND FOUND A TOYOTA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN SAYING THAT THE 2007 CAMRY HAD BAD BREAK PADS THAT WOULD CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR. IT SAID DO NOT TELL THE CUSTOMERS ABOUT THIS UNLESS THEY COMPLAIN. I CALLED TOYOTA AGAIN; THIS TIME WAITED 1 HR FOR SOMEONE TO ANSWER. THEY SAID THAT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE BULLETIN T-BR007-07 WAS NOT FOR ME BUT FOR THE DEALERSHIPS. I SAID WELL IS SAYS THAT THE BREAK PADS INSTALLED IN MY CAR WE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED, SHE SAID, THAT IS ONLY IF YOU COMPLAIN. I SAID, WELL I AM COMPLAINING. THEN I ASKED TO TALK WITH A SUPERVISOR. SHE SAID THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TODAY I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT TILL MONDAY. I SAID, I HAVE A CAR THAT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, AND I WANT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE TODAY. SHE SAID THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE. I SAID I WILL CALL BACK AND ASK TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR, SHE SAID NO ONE WILL LET YOU TALK TO A SUPERVISOR. TO SAY I AM UPSET IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. THE CAR COMPANY HAS AN INTERNAL DOCUMENT STATING THAT MY BREAK PADS ARE DEFECTIVE, BUT NEVER TELLS ME. I WAS JUST LUCKY THAT THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN LOOKED AT THE BREAKS WHEN ROTATING MY TIRES AND DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. I AND I AND MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED. WE COULD HAVE KILLED. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT WAS PART OF THE GAS PEDAL RECALL WHERE SUDDEN ACCELERATION WAS PERIODICALLY HAPPENING WITH MY CAR. I HAD THE RECALL WORK DONE ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO BUT ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY CAR WAS SPEEDING UP WHEN I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE GAS PEDAL DEPRESSED, I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON ME! THERE HAVE BEEN 2 MORE OCCURRENCES OF THIS SINCE THEN AND I DON'T BELIEVE THEIR REPAIRS WORKED OR ITS THE COMPUTER OR ELECTRICAL OR SOMETHING, I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ARE HAVING ME BRING IT BACK IN BUT THEY AREN'T SURE WHAT ELSE CAN BE DONE SINCE THEY ALREADY FIXED THE RECALLED PEDAL. YOU NEED TO HAVE TOYOTA DO MORE, IT CLEARLY WAS WHAT THEY INSISTED IT WAS. *TR

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, IT VIBRATES STRONGLY, ALMOST VIOLENTLY, AT SPEED ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES/HOUR. WHEN RAINING OR NOT. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THEY STATED IT WAS NORMAL ABS BRAKING. IT DOES SCARE ME IN THAT I AM AFRAID THAT IT COULD LEAD TO A MAJOR FAILURE IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. IT HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM ALTHOUGH I ENTERED TODAY'S DATE BELOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 25 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN ACCURATE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 24,000.

HE STATED HE HAD HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE TACHOMETER REACHED OVER 7,000 RPM'S. HE IMMEDIATELY GRABBED THE SHIFT LEVER AND SWITCH IT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE TO PARK. THE CONSUMER STATED THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED. THE CONSUMER STATED A SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED AGAIN WHILE PARKING AT A LOCAL BANK. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 45 MPH, WHILE CHANGING LANES THE CONTACT COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND TO HER STEERING. SHE DID NOT DEPRESS THE BRAKE, SHE JUST TRIED TO STEER THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT BUT IT KEPT STEERING TO THE LEFT. THE VEHICLE THEN CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE.THE POLICE DID ARRIVE TO THE SCENE BUT NO REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE THE ACCIDENT THAT SHE WAS HEARING NOISES IN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER FIXED THE ALIGNMENT OF THE VEHICLE AT NO COST TO HER. SHE HAD CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE ACCIDENT AND THEY INFORMED HER THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT 7 TO 10 BUSINESS DAYS FOR THEM TO CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28000 AND THE CURRENTMILEAGE WAS 28000.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND IT WOULD NOT STOP MY CAR. I THEN STRUCK THE CAR AHEAD OF ME.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT TODAY. A PICKUP TRUCK BROADSIDED ME. AS SOON AS THE TRUCK HIT ME I HIT THE BRAKES. THE CAMRY DID NOT STOP AND INSTEAD QUICKLY ACCELERATED AND FISH TAILED OUT OF CONTROL. I FINALLY GAINED CONTROL OF THE STEERING BUT ENDED UP THREE LANES ACROSS FROM WHERE I WAS HIT AND INTO A GAS STATION HAVING TO DRIVE BETWEEN THE GAS PUMPS HOPING TO AVOID AN EXPLOSION. I HIT A PARKED CAR AT THE PUMP AND KEPT GOING ABOUT 5 TO 10 MORE FEET AND THE CAR FINALLY JUST STOPPED LIKE NOTHING HAPPEN. I COULD HAVE DIED TODAY! IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON ICE OR LIKE SOMEONE FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. I DO KNOW FOR CERTAINTY I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME ALL THIS WAS HAPPENING. *TR

: MY TOYOTA 2007 SUBJECT : BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER MAKE / MODEL YEARS : CAMRY YOU HAVE LISTED THE 2004-2006 MODELS BUT I TOOK MY 2007 TO THE CONYERS, GEORGIA, DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE AND THIS IS THE EXACT SAME DEFECT THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR. I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY SO THEY TOLD ME TO JUST KEEP THE BRAKE FLUID FULL. I NEED YOU TO COVER THIS REPLACEMENT CHARGES FOR MY BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. THEIR FINDING IS ALSO DOCUMENTED IN THE COMPUTER FOR THAT REPAIR ASSESSMENT, AT THE SHOP FOR THAT MAINTENANCE VISIT. I ALSO WAS GIVEN A COPY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 54 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY, THE GAS PEDAL STUCK. WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES FAILED AND SHE COLLIDED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOYED.

I HAVE 2007 CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH, WHEN I PEDDLED THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR DOES NOT PICK UP/ACCELERATE. THE RPM GOES FROM 2000 TO 4000 RPM, AND AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS OF DELAY CAR PICKS UP. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY, WHILE MERGING ONTO A FREEWAY WHERE THERE IS NO SHOULDER LANE AND YOU HAVE TO MERGE IN REALLY FAST. THE DEALER SAID IT'S A PROBLEM WITH THE SOFTWARE AND THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE IN MY CAR. I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT OCCURS FREQUENTLY IN WINTER. I WENT TO THE DEALER RECENTLY AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION, IT'S JUST THE WAY 2007 MODELS ARE. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY MADE A PIECE OF JUNK IN 2007 AND NOW THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I AM HOPING TO SEE THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE SOON. *TR

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN COLD WEATHER: THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2007 ( 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE 4 CYL ENGINE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). THIS OCCURS DURING COLD WEATHER ( LESS THAN 30 F) AND DURING THE FIRST 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WHEN I AM DRIVING WITH LIGHT PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR AND REMOVE MY FOOT TO SLOW DOWN, THE CAR ABRUPTLY SLOWS DOWN AFTER 1 TO 2 SECONDS (TACHOMETER DROPS FROM 1800 RPM TO 1000 RPM) AND MAKES A CLUNKING SOUND. AFTER 1 TO 4 SECONDS, WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE CAR WILL THEN SPEED UP ( ANOTHER CLUNKING SOUND FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN). THE TACHOMETER JUMPS FROM 1000 TO 2000 RPM APPROXIMATELY. THIS OCCURS IN ALL GEARS AND IS SEVERE IN 3RD GEAR WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND BEGIN TO BRAKE. THE RESULT OF THIS MALFUNCTION IS IMMEDIATE SKIDDING ON ICE OR SNOW COVER SURFACES. IF I AM IN A TURN, THE CAR WILL START SKIDDING IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER. I LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND SO THE ROADS ARE OFTEN SLICK IN WINTER. I HAD REPORTED THIS TO SERVICE SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THE CAR AND WAS TOLD IT'S NORMAL, THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, THEY HAVE NO DIAGNOSTIC FAULTS, THEY CAN'T FIND MY SERVICE RECORDS, ETC. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE SLIDING ACCIDENTS IN WINTER WEATHER AND MAY HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENTS IN THE PAST, PARTICULARLY WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS EVENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 30-35 MPH ON NORMAL CONDITIONS. THE "CRUISE CONTROL CONTROL" WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THERE WERE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF BRAKING AND THE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENT. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS AN INCREASE OF ACCELERATION UNEXPECTEDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE RECALL DEFECT. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION WITH THE WARNING INDICATOR. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

TOYOTA CAMRY RECALL WAS "CORRECTED" LAST MONTH, AS TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ISSUE. THE ACCELERATION NOW SEEMS MORE ERRATIC THAN BEFORE. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WAS A PEDAL PROBLEM, RATHER AN ELECTRONIC ONE. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR ON THE OPEN ROAD BUT AM SCHEDULED TO DO SO SOON. I AM 72, IF I SHOULD HAVE A PROBLEM, I'M SURE THAT TOYOTA CORP. WOULD ATTRIBUTE IT TO MY AGE OR SOME OTHER EXCUSE. THE PEDAL IS NOT CONSISTENTLY RESPONSIVE ON ACCELERATION, SEEMS TO HAVE A DELAY AT TIMES, THEN SUDDENLY KICKS IN. IT IS INCONSISTENT ENOUGH THAT THE DEALER CAN TEST IT AND FIND NOTHING WRONG. I WOULD LIKE AN OUTSIDE EVALUATION BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS TO ME OR TO OTHER OWNERS IN THE SAME SITUATION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND SUDDENLY I SMELLED A BURNING ELECTRICAL ORDER IN MY CAR. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS OR ANYTHING THAT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2007 TOYOTA, CAMRY HYBRID. I DID HAVE MY CAR SERVICED FOR THE GAS PEDAL RECALL. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE OIL LEAKAGE RECALL THAT IS IN CANADA. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY CAR AND NEED HELP. I WANT MY FAMILY TO BE SAFE. *TR

AFTER PUTTING THE 2007 CAMRY ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 62 MPH IT WENT UP TO 85 MPH. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN ONE DAY. I NO LONGER USE CRUISE CONTROL

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH APPROACHING A STOP SIGNAL. WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO A CEMENT WALL. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED FOR THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGES. THE CONTACT DID NOT REPORT ANY INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP FOR REPAIRS AND TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,500. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,000. UPDATED 05/20/10. *LJ UPDATED 08/31/10*JB

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS DANGEROUS AND DEFECTIVE. I HAVE BEING SAYING SINCE MY FIRST MAINTENANCE CHECK AT THE DEALER THAT THE CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING THE WAY IT SHOULD. NOW IT HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR A "STICKY PEDAL". THE PROBLEMS I HAVE ARE NOT A STICKY PEDAL PROBLEM. THE CAR LURCHES AT TIMES WHEN ACCELERATING. IT LURCHES FORWARD FROM STOPS. I HAVE ALREADY HIT A CURB BECAUSE OF IT JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. I HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THE ROAD AND THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR FROM HITTING THE CURB. I CAN EMAIL YOU THE VIDEO FOOTAGE. THE CAR ALSO SEEMS TO DRIFT MOMENTARILY AS IF THERE IS A STEERING SYNCHRONIZATION LAPSE DEFECT. WHEN I MENTIONED THESE BOTH TO THE DEALER A YEAR AGO, THE DEALER'S SERVICE TECH SAID IT WAS JUST THE SAFETY FEATURE OF THE CAR WORKING PROPERLY. THERE ARE SPLIT SECONDS WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT CONTROL THE CAR WHILE IT IS DRIVING. THIS ALL SEEMS TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY. I WONDER IF TOYOTA PROGRAMMED THE CAR TO DO THIS ON PURPOSE TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF TIMES I WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AND CANCEL MY LEASE. SO I AM STILL DRIVING THIS UNPREDICTABLE CAR EVERY DAY. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR. *TR

WE OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND HAVE GONE TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALL TAKING CARE OF. AND TO OUR SURPRISE OUR GAS PEDAL WAS CUT TO A SIZE MUCH SMALLER THAN ITS ORIGINAL VERSION. WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THIS SOLUTION FOR THIS RECALL, NOR HAVE SEEN ANYTHING ON THE MEDIA THAT STATES THIS IS WHAT IS BEING DONE FOR A SOLUTION. THE GAS PEDAL IN THIS FORMAT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND MY FOOT DOES NOT SIT PROPERLY ON THE PEDAL AS IT SHOULD AND DID BEFORE THIS ADJUSTMENT. WE FEEL THAT A NEW GAS PEDAL SHOULD BE INSTALLED. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO NEW PARTS FOR RECALLED ITEMS, NOT DAMAGED ITEMS IN A NEW VEHICLE. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO ASSIST WITH THIS MATTER OR ADDRESS TOYOTA CORP REGARDING THIS SOLUTION? *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY BRAKES. WHEN BRAKING, THE PEDAL FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS GOING THROUGH THE FLOOR AND HITTING A DEAD SPOT. CAR WILL NOT BRAKE WITHOUT PUMPING THE BRAKES. CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED 3 TIMES FOR BRAKE ISSUES. HAS HAD TWO COMPLETE BRAKE JOBS (REPLACEMENTS?) BUT IT STILL HAS THE PROBLEM. TOYOTA SAID THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED ON THE BRAKES BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. *TR

THIS IS MORE FOR YOUR INTERNAL INVESTIGATION OF TOYOTA. I WORK IN AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLIER BUSINESS FOR HEADLINERS. STARTING IN 2007 ON CAMRY AND OTHER VEHICLES TOYOTA INSTALLED CARBON FIBER BASED HEADLINERS, WHICH HAVE BEEN KNOW TO CREATE ELECTRONIC FIELDS THAT INTERFERE WITH UNSHIELDED CAR ELECTRONICS...WE USED TO JOKE THAT TOYOTA HAD TO INVEST ANOTHER $10-15 PER CAR TO FIX ELECTRONIC ISSUES RELATED TO ITS ALREADY OVER-PRICED HEADLINER, SHORTLY AFTER CARS WERE INTRODUCED. *TR

ON FEB 10, 2010 MY 07 TOYOTA CAMRY ACCEL PEDAL STUCK ON ME, 5 DAYS AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE ON IT. IT REVVED FROM 2000-4000 RPMS, I HAD TO BRAKE HARD FOR IT TO STOP AND REGAIN CONTROL. TOOK IT INTO TOYOTA, THEY LOOKED AT IT, RETURNED THE CAR AND TOLD ME "NOTHING WAS WRONG." ON MARCH 4, 2010 IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME IT ACCELERATED FROM 20 MPH TO 40 MPH IN A SPLIT SECOND, AND I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AGAIN I HAD BRAKE HARD TO GAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. TOYOTA AGAIN LOOKED OVER MY CAR, AND AGAIN CAME UP WITH NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. SO THAT IS TWO TIMES AFTER THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED THAT MY HAS ACCELERATED. IT ALSO DID ACCELERATE BEFORE THE RECALL. *TR

IN 2007 WE LEASED A NEW CAMRY ALONG WITH ANOTHER NEW TOYOTA PRODUCT ON THE SAME DAY. MY WIFE HAS HAD THE ACCELERATOR STICK ON HER AND SHE HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR AND RAN OFF THE ROAD. SHE NARROWLY AVOIDED HAVING A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IN THE CAR WHILE MY FOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH HER. THE DEALERSHIP PICKED UP THE CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT. THE FIRST TIME MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AGAIN. THEY HAVE SINCE CAME AND PICKED IT UP AGAIN AND HAVE HAD IT FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS WITH NO PROGRESS OR SOLUTIONS OFFERED. THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND THEY HAVE NO SOLUTIONS TO FIX IT. THEY TELL US THEY'RE WAITING ON TOYOTA ENGINEERS TO COME BUT HAVE NO DATE OR TIME THAT WILL HAPPEN. MY WIFE IS TERRIFIED OF THE CAR AND RIGHTFULLY SO. THERE ARE ONLY 15 MONTHS LEFT ON THE LEASE AND WE JUST WANT THEM TO PURCHASE THE CAR BACK. IT IS LEASED THROUGH TOYOTA FINANCIAL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TOO LONG FOR THEM TO HAVE NO SOLUTIONS FOR A REPAIR. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. ON MANY SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED NOT A SUDDEN ACCELERATION BUT A SUBTLE INCREASE IN SPEED, WHILE ON LEVEL ROAD. THE IMPRESSION I HAD WAS THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS OPERATING WHEN IT WAS NOT EVEN TURNED ON. I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT IT WAS DOING BUT WAS TOLD I MUST HAVE HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED. THEY DID TRY TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM BUT COULD NOT. THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE HAD THE "ACCELERATOR PEDAL FIXED" AS A RESULT OF TOYOTA'S MOST RECENT RECALL. HOWEVER, THE CAR CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY "ACCELERATE". I DO NOT BELIEVE THE PEDAL WAS EVER THE PROBLEM AND IN LIGHT OF THE CURRENT NUMBER OF REPORTED INCIDENTS, I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT TO REPORT THESE INCIDENTS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME AS THE MORE CRITICAL REPORTS AND THAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS STILL UNKNOWN AND THE NATURE OF MY INCIDENT IS PROBABLY HAPPENING TO ALOT OF DRIVERS BUT THEY EITHER DON'T REALIZE IT OR THINK IT IS NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO REPORT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH AND ATTEMPTING A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO JERK TO THE LEFT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE FELT AS IF SOMETHING WAS STUCK IN THE STEERING WHEEL. PRIOR TO THE STEERING ISSUE, THE STEERING WAS REPAIRED UNDER AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER'S STEERING RECALL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER RE-CALIBRATED THE STEERING. THE REPAIR DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT EXHIBIT ANY FAILURES PRIOR TO THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED WITH THE POTENTIAL OF A CRASH WITH THE STEERING WHEEL JERKING ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SURGES IN POWER IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN DECEMBER 2008. THEY SEEM TO HAPPEN ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD. COULD THIS BE PART OF THE RECALL PROBLEMS? SHOULD I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT? *TW

HELLO, I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID AND I HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE MY DRIVER DOOR OPENED ON IT'S OWN. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND MY KNEE WAS RESTING ON THE DRIVER DOOR (NOT PUTTING TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE DOOR) WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT POPPED OPENED. I ALWAYS MAKE SURE I SHUT THE DOOR COMPLETELY BEFORE I DRIVE OFF AND IT AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS THE DOORS BY ITSELF. MY KNEE WAS NO WHERE NEAR THE DOOR HANDLE AND THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS TO EVER HAPPEN TO ANYONE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS DONE THIS TO ME AND I'VE HAD IT FOR 3 YEARS, BUT I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 15,000 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED THAT THE ROAD WAS QUITE BUMPY AND I FEEL THAT CAUSED THE LATCH TO OPEN. I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE IF THIS HAPPEN TO ME IN THE FRONT SEAT, WHO IS TO SAY THIS CAN'T HAPPEN IN THE BACK SEAT WHERE SMALL CHILDREN OFTEN RIDE. THIS MAY NEVER HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN OR IT COULD VERY WELL HAPPEN TOMORROW, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD BRING ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE JUST IN CASE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR
