2007 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD, WHINING NOISE WHEN SHE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS REPLACED TWICE WITHIN AN EIGHT-MONTH PERIOD. THE DEALER STATED THAT HER TYPE OF VEHICLE HAD A REPUTATION FOR THIS FAILURE; HOWEVER, IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,000. UPDATED 01/17/08 *BF UPDATED 01/17/08 *TR

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE ENGINE HESITATED SEVERELY. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION ATTEMPTS TO CROSS AT A CROSSROADS OR ENTER A FREEWAY WITH PLENTY OF TIME BEFORE TRAFFIC ARRIVED RESULTED IN SEVERAL NEAR MISSES WITH OTHER CARS. THE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO GREENVILLE TOYOTA IN GREENVILLE NC, AND THEY SAID IT WAS A CHIP IN THE COMPUTER AND THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT WERE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. GREENVILLE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVES ADVISED IT WAS A MANUFACTURER'S ISSUE. *AK

CRUISE CONTROL IS EXTREMELY ERRATIC AND IS COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. ITS IS SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I HAVE TRIED TO USE IT ABOUT 5 OR 6 TIMES. ALWAYS A PROBLEM. THIS MAY BE RELATED TO THE ACCELERATION HESITATION AND ENGINE REVVING PROBLEMS PREVIOUSLY REFERENCED. ODI NUMBER 10191074. *AK

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I RAN OVER A NAIL THAT PUNCTURED THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE ,CAUSING IT TO DEFLATE SLOWLY. WHEN THE TIRE WAS COMPLETLY FLAT, AND I NOTICED THE SHAKING AND SLUGGISH HANDLING, I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT. MY TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR DID NOT WORK ,AND DID NOT NOTIFY ME OF THE PROBLEM. AFTER GETTING BACK INTO THE CAR THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR CAME ON, BUT ONLY WHILE PARKED AND WITH A COMPLETLY FLAT TIRE. THE MONEY SPENT ON THIS SAFETY FEATURE, IN MY OPINION, WAS USELESS. *AK

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE WITH DISTORTION IN THE WINDSHIELD. *DT THE CONSUMER INFORMED THE DEALER OF THE DISTORTED WINDSHIELD AND THEY STATED THEY WOULD REPLACE IT. WHEN THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO PICK UP HIS VEHICLE HE NOTICED THE SAME DISTORTION. THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE DEALER SHOWED THE CONSUMER ANOTHER CAMRY WITH THE SAME DEFECT. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED ALL CAMRY'S WERE MADE THAT WAY AND HE MAY STILL HAVE THAT PROBLEM IF ANOTHER WINDSHIELD WAS ORDERED. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AND IT CONTINUED TO SHAKE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS MAKING A TURN AND THE VEHICLE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE BRAKES WHEN THE MOST RECENT FAILURE OCCURRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE TRAINED TECHNICIANS AGREED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23300.

CAR WITH ONLY 314 MILES. BRAND NEW. EXITED HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A STOP AT END OF CLOVERLEAF. UPON ACCELERATION FORWARD FOR A RIGHT TURN ONTO CROSS STREET THE CAR SURGED TO FULL SPEED CAUSING DRIVER TO MAKE A VERY SHARP (15 FT) RIGHT TURN INTO THE SIDEWALK OF THE OVERPASS BRIDGE. HIGH CURB DESTROYED FRONT END BUT SAVED DRIVERS LIFE FROM CRASHING THROUGH GUARD RAIL AND FALLING TO THE HIGHWAY SURFACE. TOYOTA CLAIMED DRIVER ERROR. DRIVER HAS PERFECT DRIVING RECORD. POLICE REPORT NOTES PROBABLE MECHANICAL FAILURE OF SOME SORT. CAR REPAIRED AND RETURNED TO SERVICE. DRIVER IS NOW FEARFUL TO DRIVE THE $30,000 CAR. CAR WAS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. HAS BEEN RECALLED AND REPAIRED, BUT NO CONFIDENCE NOW. SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE DATA BASE. *TR

I BOUGHT 07 CAMRY FROM LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN 2007. FROM THE START I'VE NOTICED THE CAR WAS CONSUMING OIL. THERE IS NO TRACE OF LEAK ANYWHERE BUT WAS TAKING OIL. WITHOUT MUCH THOUGHT, I WOULD ADD OIL AS NEEDED. AS THE MILEAGE START TO RACK UP, THE PROBLEM IS TOO OBVIOUS AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. AT THE BEGINNING, I DID NOT KNOW HOW MUCH OIL WAS BEING CONSUMED. THEN I STARED TO USE TICKER OIL HOPING THE PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY. IT DID NOT AND I AM STILL USING TICKER OIL (5W20 TO 5W30) OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM, I THINK IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. THE CAR NOW HAS 65,000 MILES AND LATE LAST SUMMER (2011) I'VE SEEN OIL ADDING EVERY MONTH (ABOUT EVERY 1,000 MILES). LOCAL DEALER SAID A QUART EVERY 1,000 MILES IS NORMAL. SERVICE MANAGER IS SAYING THAT TOYOTA STATED THE CONSUMING A QUART EVERY 1,000 MILE IS NORMAL. SO GO COMPLAIN TO TOYOTA CORP IS WHAT THEY SAID. I FELT LIKE I WAS TALKING TO A BRICK WALL. DEALERSHIP SAID I SHOULD GO THROUGH OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, WHICH I STATED THE PROCESS IN DECEMBER OF 2011. THEY HAD PUT IN HALF INCH ABOVE THE FULL MARK ON THE DIPSTICK, WHICH I WOULD HAVE THOUGH THEY WOULD HAVE NOTED THIS. AFTER I COME BACK AFTER 1,000 MILES, OIL CONSUMPTION WAS THERE BUT THEY CLAIM 1/2 QUART IN 1,000 MILES. NOT CONSIDERING HOW MUCH THEY HAVE OVER FILLED OR HAD ANY IDEA OF THAT FACT. I STARTED LOOKING INTO THIS IN WEB AND ALSO LEARNED THAT DEALERSHIP USES ADDITIVE TO NOT CONSUME OIL IN CONSUMPTION TESTING. I CANNOT WIN OVER DISHONEST EXPERTS AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I CANNOT SELL THIS CAR AS I AM NOT ABOUT TO LIE ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION TO A BUYER. WHO WOULD WANT TO BUY MY CAR THAT CONSUMES A QUART EVERY 1,000 MILE. I CAN TELL A BUYER "THIS IS NORMAL IN TOYOTA STANDARD"; WOULD A BUYER UNDERSTAND THIS? TOYOTA IS TRYING TO TURN AWAY THEIR PROBLEM ONTO THEIR CUSTOMER. *TR

I DON'T NOT IF THIS IS A POWER TRAIN ISSUE OR NOT, BUT THIS VEHICLE, 2007' CAMRY LE 4 CYLINDER CAN'T SEEM TO KEEP A SET SPEED WHEN IN CRUISE. IT IS CONSTANTLY FIGHTING ITSELF TO MAINTAIN A SPEED SHIFTING DOWN THEN UP SEVERAL TIMES. ALSO, WHEN TAKING OFF OR SLOWING FOR A TURN IT DOESN'T SEEM TO DOWN SHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR. AND FINALLY WHEN IT DOES SHIFT IT THROWS YOU EVERYWHERE. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE NEW CAMRY FOR THIS REASON ONLY. I LOVE EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT IF THIS ISN'T FIXED, I THINK THIS IS THE END OF TOYOTA BUYING.*AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. ON MAY 29, 2007, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STRUCK FOUR TIMES BY AN EIGHTEEN WHEELER. NONE OF THE SIX AIR BAGS IN THE VEHICLE DEPLOYED. THE CRASH OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. HE AND HIS WIFE WERE AMBULANCED FROM THE SCENE. HE SUSTAINED KNEE INJURIES AND A CONCUSSION AND HIS WIFE SUFFERED NECK INJURIES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY ARE BOTH CURRENTLY IN THERAPY DUE TO THE INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE CAN GET THE POLICE REPORT. THE VIN, PURCHASE DATE, AND ENGINE SIZE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 17,000. UPDATED 08/15/07. *JB

THE BLUISH GREENISH AND GREY LIGHTING ON THE 2007 CAMRY RADIO WAS SO BRIGHT THAT IT WAS DISTRACTING AT NIGHT. IT I WASSO BRIGHT THAT THE PEOPLE IN THE FRONT SEAT WERE ILLUMINATED BY IT, AND HAD TO WORK VERY HARD TO SCAN OUTSIDE THE CAR SINCE IT COMPLETELY RUINED NIGHT VISION. THERE WAS A DIMMER SETTING, BUT IT WAS TIED TO THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS. WHEN DIMMING THE RADIO ONE LOST THE ABILITY TO READ THE GAUGES. I WASVERY CONCERNED THAT THIS WAS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. WE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS TOYOTA'S CUSTOMER CARE CENTER. DESPITE THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM THE REPRESENTATIVE WITH HER OWN CAMRY THAT IT WAS A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT. TOYOTA WILL NOT WORK WITH US TO CHANGE IT IN ANYWAY, STATING THAT IT WAS A DESIGN ISSUE WITHOUT ENOUGH COMPLAINS. THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED IN SEEKING WAYS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. *AK

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A 2007 CAMRY LE, 4-CYLINDER, 5-SPEED FROM TOYOTA OF ORANGE IN ORANGE CALIFORNIA. EVER SINCE OUR TEST DRIVE WE'VE EXPERIENCED LACK OF ACCELERATION (HESITATION) FROM A STOP OR AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO TURN OR PROCEED, SHIFTING PROBLEMS (CONSTANT UP AND DOWN SHIFTING AT CERTAIN SPEEDS; CAR NOT SURE WHICH GEAR TO BE IN AND FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS SURGING) AND UNABLE TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL DUE ACCELERATING TOO QUICKLY DUE TO DOWNSHIFTING AND THEN OVERSHOOTING THE SET SPEED. SOME OF THESE SYMPTOMS ARE SPORADIC; YOU NEVER KNOW IF THE CAR IS GOING TO MOVE OR NOT WHEN STEPPING DOWN HARD AND QUICKLY ON THE GAS PEDAL. SOMETIMES IT "RED-LINES" BEFORE ACCELERATING, OTHER TIMES THERE IS BARELY ANY RESPONSE AT ALL. REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES, HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATED WITHOUT NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENTS. EG036-07 IS THE LATEST ECM UPDATE,. WE WOULD NEVER HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IF WE HAD ONLY RESEARCHED THE CAR BEFOREHAND ON THE INTERNET. ME AND MY WIFE COULD NEVER GET USED TO THE GAS PEDAL BECAUSE THE CAR RESPONDED DIFFERENTLY EVERY TIME. ONE DAY MY WIFE CAME FROM WORK AND ATTEMPTED TO PARK THE CAR INTO A SPOT ON THE PARKING STRUCTURE,SHE PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR ACCELERATED REALLY FAST DRIVING THROUGH THE WALL ALMOST INTO THE COMMUNITY POOL. I HAVE STOPPED MAKING PAYMENTS ON THE CAR SINCE THE CAR IS SITTING IN THE GARAGE AND VERY UPSET WITH TOYOTA SINCE I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND CALLED TOYOTA CORP ON THE PHONE AND RECEIVED NO HELP. *JB

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE.THE TRANSMISSION LAGS BEHIND THE ENGINE SOMETIMES & THEN DESPERATELY TRIES TO CATCH UP BY AGGRESSIVELY DOWNSHIFTING TO HIGH RPM'S(AROUND 4000 TO 4500).WHEN MAKING TURNS THE CAR LOSES POWER AND THEN SHIFTS ERRATICALLY TO RETURN TO SPEED. WHEN GOING UP A SLIGHT HILL THE PEDAL HAS TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR TO MAKE THE CAR GET UP TO SPEED,AND THEN TAKES OFF LIKE A ROCKET. I AM NOT AN AGGRESSIVE DRIVER BUT THIS POWER TRAIN WANTS YOU TO DRIVE LIKE ONE. I HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE WITH NO CORRECTION, ALL THEY SAY IS SORRY THAT'S THE WAY IT IS DESIGNED. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT BOGS DOWN WHEN YOU DON'T WANT IT TO & THEN LURCHES FORWARD TO COMPLICATE MATTERS. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND TOYOTA ENGINEERS DESIGNED & MARKETED A POWER TRAIN THAT IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO THE PUBLIC AND THE DRIVERS WHO OWN THESE CARS. *TR

THE CAR HAS BEEN HAVING LOTS OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. AT LOW SPEEDS IT SHIFTED BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN GEARS EVEN WHEN MAINTAINING SAME SPEED AND ON FLAT SURFACE. AT ALL SPEEDS IT WILL SOMETIMES PAUSE UPTO 2 SECONDS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY. IT WILL SOMETIMES SHIFT AND GO AND OTHERS WILL SQUEAL THE TIRES AND POP LIKE IT SHIFTED TWO GEARS AT ONCE. ALSO, IT WILL MAX OUT AT 8 RPMS WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY UNTIL IT FINALLY SHIFTED. *AK

MY 2007 CAMRY SE WAS T-BONED ON THE DRIVER SIDE BY A 2006 SAAB. THE SAAB'S AIRBAGS WENT OFF AND THE CAR WAS CONSIDERED TOTALLED. THE POINT OF IMPACT WAS THE FRONT END OF THE SAAB INTO THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR - ESTIMATED SPEED WAS 30MPH. NO AIRBAGS WENT OFF IN THE 2007 CAMRY! NO INDICATORS WE LIT ON THE DASH.

CAMRY 2007 SE V6. ACCELERATION PROBLEMS, HESITATES AT TAKE OFF, TRANSMISSION SLIPS LIKE ITS SEARCHING FOR A GEAR, SMELL FROM A/C. ENGINE TICKS WHEN I TAKE OFF AND DON'T LET IT WARM UP EVEN THOUGH ITS WARM OUTSIDE. HAD PROBLEMS WITH TIRES, HAD THEM REPLACED. LOUD ROAD NOISE CAR NOT VERY SOUND PROOF. FEELS LIKE STEERING WHEEL "STICKS"FOR JUST A SECOND LONG ENOUGH TO SCARE ME LIKE SOMEONE IS HOLDING IT. *TR

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2007 AS A MARK DOWN BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN RETURNED BY A BUSINESS BUT THE OIL LEAK PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED BEFORE I BOUGHT IT NOR WAS I TOLD OF THE PROBLEM. SOON AFTER I BOUGHT IT I NOTICED THAT THE OIL WAS LOW BUT I COULDN'T FIND WHERE THE OIL WAS LEAKING FROM. THERE WAS NO BLACK SMOKE SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. OVER AND OVER AGAIN I TOOK THE CAR IN AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE MISSING OIL. ONE OF THE THINGS THEY TOLD ME WAS THAT THEY NEVER PUT THE REQUIRED AMOUNT IN BUT ALWAYS PUT IN FROM ONE HALF TO A FULL QUART LOW. I NEVER MISSED SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND EACH TIME I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE OIL PROBLEM BUT THEY NEVER FIXED IT. INSTEAD THEY ALWAYS OFFERED ME SOME EXCUSE. THE WARRANTY IS NOW EXPIRED BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONTINUOUS FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THE CAR SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE LEMON LAW. I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN. I NEED YOU HELP BECAUSE I AM AT WITS END AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO BE WORRIED ALL THE TIME AND ALWAYS HAVE TO CARRY SPARE OIL IN MY TRUNK. *JS

CAR HESITATES AND JERKS UPON ACCELERATION WHICH CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I PURCHASED A TOYOTA CAMRY LE 2007 MODEL WITH 2.4 LITER 4 CYLINDER ON MAR 18 2007. AFTER FIRST 15 -30 DAYS, I STARTED NOTICING A SQUEAK OR A KIND OF RATTLE FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT BELT SUPPORT AREA. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERS SITE WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM BUT SAID EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. AFTER LOT OF EFFORT FROM MY SIDE TO CONVINCE THE GRAVITY OF THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER CONSIDERING SEAT BELT AS MOST CRITICAL ELEMENT FOR DRIVERS SAFETY, DEALER AGREED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER A WEEK LONG EFFORT THE PROBLEM WAS PARTIALLY FIXED. THE SQUEAKS ARE AUDIBLE EVEN NOW WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED RIGHT OR OCCASIONALLY WHEN THE SURFACE OF THE ROAD IS UNEVEN. THE TECHNICIAN AT DEALERS SITE ACKNOWLEDGE THIS BEHAVIOR BUT IS NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT FIX TO THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS FOUND TO BE ONLY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT B PILLAR AREA. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT ON THE CONTRARY DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED WITH SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE SINCE PROPER ANALYSIS AS TO ROOT CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN DONE BY THE SERVICE PERSONNEL. ONE CAN IMAGINE THE SECURITY RISK THIS PROBLEM POSES TO THE VEHICLE DRIVER AS IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A SEAT BELT MALFUNCTION REQUEST NHTSA TO KINDLY INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER WITH DUE DILIGENCE AND ENSURE MANUFACTURER DOES A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND TAKES ALL OBLIGATION NECESSARY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

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

PURCHASE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, APRIL 19, 2007 FROM KING TOYOTA,DEERFIELD BEACH, FLORIDA. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE CAR BEGAN HAVING SHIFTING PROBLEMS. IT HESITATED AND WHEN DRIVING AROUND 40 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS RELEASED, IT JERKED AND WHIPPED YOUR BODY. THEN, WHEN GIVING IT THE GAS, IT HESITATED AND THEN JERKED FORWARD. COMPLAINED AND COMPLAINED AND WAS TOLD THAT MAYBE WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN FOR ITS 3000 MILE CHECK-UP, TOYOTA WOULD HAVE A TECH BULLETIN FOR REPAIR. THE TECH BULLETIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL AFTER I CONTACTED TOYOTA DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD REQUEST TECH BULLETIN U660E. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A NEW CHIP WAS INSTALLED THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. ABOUT THE EARLY PART OF OCTOBER IT BEGAN TO CHANGE. IN ADDITION TO HESITATING AND JERKING, IT NOW KEEPS GOING AT 40 MILES AN HOUR EVEN WHEN THE FOOT IS TAKEN OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL. IT WILL KEEP GOING TWO OR THREE BLOCK FROM 40 MILES AN HOUR , SLOWLY DOWN TO 30 MILES AN HOUR. IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC, YOU MUST PUT FULL POWER ON THE BRAKE PEDAL OR YOU WILL CONTINUE TO GO AT THE SAME RATE OF SPEED. VERY DANGEROUS AS WELL AS WEARING BRAKES MUCH FASTER THAN NORMAL. IT STILL HESITATES AND JERKS WHEN APPLYING THE GAS PEDAL BUT NOW, INSTEAD OF JERKING YOU WHEN RELEASING THE GAS, IT JUST KEEPS GOING. DEALER HAS NO ANSWER AND TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE WITHOUT A SOLUTION. CAN'T TOYOTA BE PRESSURED INTO SOLVING THE PROBLEM. THE NEW CHIP MADE A DIRECT OPPOSITE SITUATION....JERKING THE CAR WHEN GAS RELEASED TO "FULL SPEED AHEAD". *TR

2007 CAMRY TRANSMISSION BOLTS, JERKS, SNAP YOUR BODY AND AT 40 MILES AN HOUR WITH FOOT OFF OF GAS PEDAL CONTINUES TO KEEP MOVING AT ALMOST SAME 40 MILE HR SPEED FOR MANY BLOCKS. DANGEROUS BECAUSE BRAKE PEDAL HAS TO BE PUSHED HARDER THAN NORMAL IN ORDER TO STOP CAR FROM MOVING. MANY 2007 CAMRY'S HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS IF YOU WILL JUST CHECK INTERNET REPORTS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE VISION IN ALL THE WINDOWS WAS RESTRICTED DUE TO THE GLARE OF THE SUN. THE WINDOWS WERE TINTED A GREENISH COLOR. THE DEALER REMOVED THE TINT; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE TINT WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAS PICTURES OF THE REFLECTIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,500. UPDATED 4/11/08 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED DEPENDING UPON THE LIGHT CONDITIONS A DIFFERENT PERCENTAGE OF FAILURE. UPDATED 04/11/08 *TR

PURCHASED NEW 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, SOON AFTER PURCHASE REALIZED THERE WERE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE CAR, ONE BEING A STICKY GAS PEDAL, THAT WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A SLOW SPEED, ( FOR EXAMPLE, A YELLOW LIGHT), THE CAR BOGS DOWN THE PEDAL FEELS STICKY THEN KICKS IN REAL HARD AND THE CAR ACCELERATES FORWARD VERY FAST. THIS OCCURS ABOUT 2 TIMES A WEEK AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST HOW THE VEHICLE WAS MADE. ON 01/23/2009 WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS WITH ONE BEING THE STICKY PEDAL, AND ANOTHER HAPPENED TO BE A PINGING NOISE DURING ACCELERATION SUCH AS GETTING ON A FREEWAY WITH AN INCLINE. THE CORRECTION FOR THE STICKY PEDAL WAS " UNABLE TO VERIFY AND ADVISED THE CUSTOMER TO HAVE A THROTTLE BODY AND FUEL INJECTION SERVICE $99.95 + TAX" THE CORRECTION FOR THE ENGINE CLATTER NOISE WAS " PERFORMED A ECU MEMORY RESET/RE PROGRAMMING. TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE IS WORKING PER FACTORY STANDARDS AT THIS TIME". THE ECU MEMORY RESET WAS THE ONLY WORK PERFORMED IN WHICH WE PAID $85.00. AFTER LEAVING TOYOTA WE FOUND THAT THE PEDAL PUSHED DOWN VERY EASY AND SMOOTH, WITHIN A 2 WEEK PERIOD WHILE THIS LASTED WE NEVER HAD AN ACCELERATOR ISSUE. BUT AFTER 2 WEEKS THE PEDAL WENT BACK TO BEING STICKY AND HAVING ACCELERATOR ISSUES AGAIN. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO TOYOTA AND TOLD THEM THAT THE ECU MEMORY RESET FIXED OUR PEDAL AND ASKED IF THEY COULD LOOK INTO IT. THEY DID NOT AND WE LEFT WITH A STICKY PEDAL STILL. NOW WITH THE INFORMATION IN THE MEDIA ABOUT THE STICKING ACCELERATORS, THE FLOOR MATS AND NOW THE WORN PEDAL ASSEMBLY, I BECAME CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS STARTED WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS BRAND NEW. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND LET THEM KNOW OF MY PROBLEM AND CONCERNS, THE REP TOLD ME TO CALL THE NEAREST DEALER AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO LOOK INTO THIS, AND SUGGESTED THAT I DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR. THE DEALER WILL ONLY PERFORM THE RECALL WORK AND WHEN THEY GET THE TRAINING AND PARTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SUNVISOR WOULD DROP DOWNWARD WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE VISOR WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE MIELAGE WAS 1,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY INTO FAST-MOVING TRAFFIC, THE CAR HESITATED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE IT DOWNSHIFTED AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE. ON-COMING CARS HAD TO BRAKE AND HONKED AT ME. THAT CAN BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *JB

DEFECTIVE BALL JOINT/ARM SUB ASSEMBLY. UNABLE TO MAINTAIN LANE. DEALER ALIGNED, REFUSED TO TEST DRIVE AT 1700MI. INDIANA STATE POLICE ISSUED WARNING "WEAVING WITHIN LANE' UNABLE TO AVOID POT HOLE. ANOTHER DEALER REPLACED BALL JOINT/ARM SUB ASSEMBLY AND I ASKED DEALER TO SAVE THE PARTS, INVOICE COMMENTED "TIRES WEARING OUT" TOYOTA CORPORATE RETURNED LETTER DENYING REIMBURSEMENT, NO REASON. HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR THREE YEARS TO GET PAST "CONSUMER SERVICE'. "CUSTOMER SERVICE" HAS" NO WAY TO EMAIL OR COMMUNICATE WITH ANYONE WHO CAN EXPLAIN THE REJECTION", "NO EMAIL ADDRESS OR PHONE NUMBERS" TO GIVE ME. AFTER 3 YEARS, TOYOTA LOCAL DISTRICT, THIS MONTH, REPLACED MY TIRES. THE TIRES THAT WERE ORIGINALLY ON THE FRONT WERE MOVED TO THE REAR AFTER THE INCIDENT. THEY HAD ONLY ONE MM LEFT AT 17500 MILES. IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF WEAR BEFORE THE INCIDENT. FINALLY,AFTER I EMAILED, TOYOTA "CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE" PHONED ME AND TOLD ME TO WRITE A LETTER TO LEGAL. I HAVE ALL CORRESPONDENCE, INVOICES ET.AL. THAT I CAN MAIL TO YOU. *TR

GETTING OFF ON THE OFF RAMP AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CAR BEHIND ME TRIED TO MISS ME BUT ENDED UP HITTING ME IN THE SIDE REAR. WHY DOES THIS CAMRY LOSE ALL POWER AT ONCE AND ACCELERATES SPORADICALLY. IF THIS IS NOT RECALLED AND FIXED SOON I WILL HAVE TO TRADE IT IN AND IT WON'T BE FOR ANOTHER TOYOTA!!! MY FAMILY IS AT RISK AND IT IS NOT WORTH IT WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE TRUST IN YOUR VEHICLE. *JB

MY 2007 CAMRY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS DURING THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF OPERATION IN APRIL AND MAY 2007 SURGED OR LUNGED WITHOUT CAUSE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND NO REPAIR, NO INCIDENTS OCCURRED IN THE PAST TWO YEARS. ONE INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN STARTING UP FROM A STOP SIGN BESIDE SCHOOL CHILDREN WAITING AT A BUS STOP. ANOTHER INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I SLOWLY MANEUVERED TO PARK IN A TIGHT SPACE BETWEEN TWO CARS. BOTH DRIVING INSTANCES REQUIRED FINE CONTROL AND VERY LITTLE GAS. BOTH INSTANCES OCCURRED ON COLD MORNINGS, A SHORT DISTANCE AND A SHORT TIME AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE IN THE MORNING. THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY REVVED LOUDLY AND LUNGED FORWARD, I BRAKED HARD, THEN IT SORT OF STALLED AND BECAME UNRESPONSIVE AND LAGGED BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL CONTROL. THESE INCIDENTS WERE SCARY, COULD HAVE CAUSED PERSONAL OR PROPERTY INJURY AND OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY KNOWN CAUSE. THE CAR SEEMED CONFUSED. THE OTHER PREDOMINANT DRIVER OF THE CAR HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. MY CAR IS SUBJECT TO RECALLS. I HAVE REMOVED THE FLOOR MAT BUT NOT TAKEN IT FOR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REPAIR. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS A COMPUTER GLITCH AND NOT THE FLOOR MAT OR THE GAS PEDAL. I RECEIVED A FLOOR MAT RECALL NOTICE EARLY IN OWNERSHIP, ON MY FIRST MAINTENANCE VISIT TO TOYOTA I WAS TOLD THAT MY FLOOR MAT WAS NOT THE DEFECTIVE ONE. SUBSEQUENT LETTERS HAVE SAID TO REMOVE THE MAT AND STATED THAT NO REPAIR IS READY, THEY WILL CONTACT ME. I TRIED TO CALL THE DEALER TWO WEEKS AGO TO ASK ABOUT A REPAIR AFTER NEWS REPORTS AND FURTHER RECALLS. MY CALL WAS PLACED ON HOLD FOR SO LONG, I HUNG UP AND HAVEN'T CALLED BACK. I THINK MY CAR HAS A POTENTIAL DANGEROUS PROBLEM BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA IS CABLE OR WILL ADDRESS THAT PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT INDICATE MY CAR IS ELIMINATED FROM THE RECALL. *TR THE CONSUMER ALSO EXPERIENCED AN INTERMITTENT ERRATIC PROBLEM WITH THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL; THE ABS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE TACHOMETER, THERMOSTAT AND OTHER GAUGES BOUNCED UP AND DOWN. ALSO, THE AC STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALER STATED THE ABS ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED 09/14/15. *JB

MY HUSBAND & I PURCHASED A 07 CAMRY. A FEW WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE, HUSBAND NOTICED PROBLEMS. TRANSMISSION WAS NOT "ACTING" RIGHT. THE CAR WOULD HESITATE FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN WE GIVEN GAS OR SOMETIMES ACCELERATE WHEN WE DID NOT; THE BRAKES WERE BAD; & STEERING COLUMN "SHOOK" WHEN WE DROVE OVER ROAD BUMPS OR SPEEDS > THAN 50. OVER NEXT FEW MONTHS WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE & VOICED OUR CONCERNS, THE SERVICE PERSON WOULD TELL US THAT HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR REGARDING OUR CONCERNS & DURING ONE VISIT, THEY DROVE THE CAR 18 MILES & STILL COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ONE DAY I WAS GETTING ON FREEWAY & TRIED TO INCREASE MY SPEED, THE CAR STALLED FOR ABOUT 4 SECONDS, AS I LOOKED IN REAR VIEW MIRROR I SAW ANOTHER CAR COMING BEHIND ME AT A REALLY FAST SPEED. I WAS TRYING TO DETERMINING WHAT TO DO AS THE CAR APPEARED TO HAVE ACTUALLY SHUT OFF, WHEN IT JUST SURGED FORWARD & I WAS MOVING AGAIN. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME & I CALLED MY HUSBAND & TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED. I FELT THAT IF WE DID NOT DO SOMETHING, WE COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE AN ACCIDENT, GET KILLED OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE. I FINALLY CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE & TOLD THEM OUR STORY. THEY INSTRUCTED US TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPT FOR AN ASSESSMENT. AFTER ASSESSMENT THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; MY ROTORS WERE COMPLETELY WARPED; AND THEY MAY HAVE TO OVERHAUL MY TRANSMISSION BUT WERE GOING TO TRY & RESET IT TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP (APPARENTLY IT IS RUN BY A COMPT WHICH TELLS IT HOW FAST OR SLOW IT TO GO WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED) APPARENTLY THE COMPUTER WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY OR HAD A "GLITCH." THEY RESET THE TRANSMISSION & TOLD MY HUSBAND & I TO DRIVE AN ADDITIONAL 500MILES TO "BREAK-IN" THE TRANSMISSION & LET THEM KNOW OUR THOUGHTS. WELL, WE HAVE DRIVEN THE ADDITIONAL MILES & WE BOTH FEEL AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN. WE ARE AT WITS END W/THIS DANGEROUS $30,000+ CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 TO 30 MPH PROCEEDING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SURGE FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERNS OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

ON THE INTERSTATE, THE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY 2007 CAMRY LE 4 CYLINDER CAR CAUSES OVER-AGGRESSIVE ACCELERATION (5 - 3 DOWNSHIFT) WHEN RESUME IS SELECTED AT 10 - 15 MPH BELOW SET SPEED. THE CAR OVERSHOOTS SET SPEED BY 2 - 3 MPH AND OFTEN CAUSES A COLLISION POTENTIAL WITH THE CAR IN FRONT. I HAVE HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR AND AVOID A COLLISION. THE CAR ALSO OVER-AGGRESSIVELY ACCELERATES (5 - 4 DOWNSHIFT) WHEN TOPPING OUT ON INTERSTATE OVERPASSES - OFTEN OVERSHOOTING SET SPEED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHEN HE DECREASED HIS HIGHWAY SPEED TO 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND ACCELERATED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SINCE HIS VIN BEGAN WITH THE LETTERS A AND J. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

I PURCHASED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN SEPTEMBER 2006. THE VEHICLE HAS 16,000+ MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE HESITATES UPON ACCELERATION , AND AT TIMES LUNCHES INTO GEAR . THIS HAS CAUSED HONKNING AT US AND HARZARDOUS CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY WHEN CHANGING LANES ON THE FREEWAY. THERE IS A LOUD INTERMITENT CLUNK WHEN TURNING CORNERS, BACKING UP, AND STOPPING. THERE IS AN APPARENT LACK OF POWER WHEN THE GEARS SHIFTS IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ALSO, THERE IS VIBRATION WHEN BACKING UP WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND MOSTLY GET A SONG AND DANCE ROUTINE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING WE WERE EXPERIENCING WAS NORMAL OR DUE TO THE COMPUTER DESIGN OR EMISSION STANDARDS. THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT SINCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 50 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. TOYOTA HAS AT THIS POINT NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE ANY OF THESE ISSUES. HOWEVER, THEY DID REMOVE AND REPLACE THE GAS TANK TO ELIMINATE THE CLUNKING PROBLEM, AND I NOW KNOW ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS NOT NECESSARY. THE CLUNKING IS STILL PRESENT. THIS CAR REACTS LIKE A VEHICLE WITH 200,000 MILES ON IT THAT IS IN DIRE., IT NEEDS F A TUNE UP AND MAJOR OVERHAUL. MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END ACCIDENT 6 WEEKS AGO, AND NOW WE REALIZE THAT THIS MAY NOT HAVE OCCURRED IF THE CAR WOULD HAVE ACCELERATED PROPERLY. *AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE LOOKING OUT OF THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, THE CONTACT NOTICED A REFLECTION THAT DECREASED THE VISIBILITY OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW.

RE: 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID: A ROCK PASSED THROUGH A MANUFACTURED HOLE IN THE GRILL, HIT THE RADIATOR AND PUT A HOLE IN THE RADIATOR CAUSING A HYBRID SYSTEM FAILURE. TOYOTA ASSERTS THAT THIS WAS A OCCURRENCE THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY DESIGN FLAW, GIVEN THAT NO OTHER REPORTS TO THIS EFFECT HAVE BEEN RECEIVED. THE RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $600. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE JUST MINUTES AWAY FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND WERE ABLE TO DRIVE IT OVER. WE HAVE OWNERSHIP OF THE DAMAGED RADIATOR. *JB
