2007 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

DRIVER WAS PASSING ANOTHER CAR AT ~65MPH AND WHEN THE DRIVER TOOK HIS FOOT OFF THE GAS THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES, WHICH SLOWED THE CAR SOME, BUT NOT SUFFICIENTLY AGAINST THE ENGINE (NOW CLOSE TO FULL THROTTLE). DRIVER THEN IMMEDIATELY PUT THE ENGINE INTO NEUTRAL, HOWEVER THIS DID NOT DISENGAGE THE ENGINE. DRIVER WAS THEN FORCED TO USE THE IGNITION TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND FINALLY IT STARTED COSTING TO A STOP WHILE IN NEUTRAL. ASSUMING IT WAS SOME TRANSIENT FAULT, THE DRIVER THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE WHILE COASTING IN NEUTRAL AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN ACCELERATING AGAIN, DRIVER THEN AGAIN IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE IGNITION TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. *TR

I WAS GETTING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. I STARTED TO DECELERATE AND I LOST A MAJORITY OF MY BRAKE POWER. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH CAME ON, AND MY DISPLAY SAID CHECK VSC SYSTEM. I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER WAS SLAMMING ON MY BRAKE SINCE I HAD VERY LITTLE BRAKE POWER AT THIS POINT. I TURNED OFF MY CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES. THE LIGHTS STAYED ILLUMINATED. I WAS 1/2 A MILE FROM WORK AT THIS POINT. I DROVE WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND TOOK IT SLOW TO WORK. WHEN I GOT TO WORK AND PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT, THE LIGHTS WENT OFF. *TR

TOYOTA HYBRIDS HAVE A BRAKING DEVICE IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS DEVICE CAN BE APPLIED AT ANY TIME. WHEN USING THE TRANSMISSION BRAKE THE VEHICLES SPEED IS REDUCED AT A CONSIDERABLE RATE. WHEN BRAKING USING THIS METHOD THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON. THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THE VEHICLE IS BRAKING. I USE THIS METHOD ON A ROUTINE BASIS AND WAS INFORMED OF NO BRAKE LIGHTS BY ANOTHER DRIVER. I USE THIS SYSTEM OF BRAKING WHILE GOING DOWNHILLS IN THE CITY AND DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS. *TR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING GLARE INTO FRONT WINDSHIELD. *TR

STARTED THE CAR AND NOTICED THE ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHT WERE ON. TACHOMETER WAS JUMPING BETWEEN 0 AND 1000RPM. AIR CONDITIONER WASN'T WORKING. DROVE THE CAR A BIT WITH NO CHANGE EXCEPT THE TACHOMETER JUMPING A BIT HIGHER THAN 1 AND DROPPING BACK TO 0. SPEEDOMETER WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. AFTER A BIT MORE DRIVING, THE ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND THE GAUGES RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. AIR CONDITIONER ALSO STARTED WORKING. SINCE THIS INITIAL PROBLEM, THE GAUGES AND LIGHTS HAVE BEEN OPERATING WITH THE SAME INCONSISTENCY (JUMPING TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER SITTING AT 0, ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS ON).

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND MY DASHBOARD IS ALL STICKY AND SHINY...TRIED TO GO TO THE DEALER...AND DEALER CLAIMED IT'S NOT A RECALL...ALL THE DUST, DIRT AND DEBRIS FROM THE OUTSIDE HAS STUCK (HARBORED) RIGHT ONTO MY STICKY DASHBOARD, I HAVE TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO CLEAN IT BUT ALL ELEMENTS GETS STUCK ONTO DASHBOARD....WITH ALL THIS BEING SAID, I BELIEVE THIS HAS CAUSED SOME BREATHING ISSUES FOR ME WHEN I DRIVE. (I HAVE SEVERE ALLERGIES)...SO YES IN THIS CASE, IT CERTAINLY WARRANTS A HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERN. I WOULD LIKE TO ESCALATE THIS ISSUE. THANKS, *TR

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS NOTICED IN THIS VEHICLE AROUND DECEMBER 2014. THE DEALER REFUSES TO DEAL WITH IT CONSIDERING 1 QUART FOR EVERY 1,000 MILES IS NORMAL. *TR

ENGINE WAS NOT GETTING ADEQUATE LUBRICATION DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND THUS CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE. VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE ON FREEWAY AND HAD TO BE PULLED OVER PUTTING VEHICLE OWNER AT RISK AND OTHER DRIVERS ON ROAD IN DANGER. THE ENGINE IS NOW DAMAGED AND IS UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED DESPITE PROPER MAINTENANCE AND RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGES AS PER DEALERSHIP AND OWNERS MANUAL. THE ENGINE NOW HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS LEAKAGE HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OVER HUNDREDS OF UNSATISFIED CUSTOMERS AND HAS PURPOSELY BEEN DISREGARDED BY MANUFACTURER DESPITE THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS RECEIVED AND MADE BY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY OWNERS. MANY OF WHICH SUFFERED LIKE THIS OWNER AND HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEW ENGINE DESPITE THIS BEING A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN NEGLECTED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT ~35 MPH TOWARD AN INTERSECTION OF STOPPED CARS. I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BEGIN TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT SOFT AND PUSHED TO THE FLOOR, WITH LITTLE OR NO SLOWING OF THE VEHICLE. AT THE SAME TIME THE DASHBOARD LIT UP A LOT OF WARNING LIGHTS, I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO CHECK THE WARNING LIGHTS. I SWERVED INTO THE TURN LANE WHERE THERE WERE NO CARS AND BEGAN TO MAKE A WIDE LEFT. I AGAIN BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKES, THIS TIME THE BRAKES WORKED. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND PARKED. THE WARNING SCREEN SAID SOMETHING LIKE "CHECK VCS SYSTEM". "BRAKES" WARNING LIGHT AND "ABS" WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED WITH OTHERS WHICH I DID NOT TAKE NOTE OF. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND CALLED FOR A TOW TO THE TOYOTA DEALER. TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AGAIN SHOWED NO WARNINGS. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,700.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY TOYOTA CAMRY IS VERY STICKY AND SHINY AND IT REFLECTS A SHINY SHADOW WHEN THE SUN OR NIGHT LIGHTS HIT IT. IT CAUSES A REFLECTION AND IT MAKES IT HARD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ALL BRAKE LIGHTS LIT UP ON DASH, "VSC CHECK SYSTEM" MESSAGE SHOWED. BUT THE CAR SEEMED TO BRAKE FINE, UNTIL I WENT TO PARK. THE BRAKE WENT COMPLETELY SOFT AND THE CAR CONTINUED FORWARD MOTION UNTIL RUNNING INTO THE CURB. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR ALL THE LIGHTS WERE BACK TO NORMAL. IT HAPPENED AGAIN LATER IN THE DAY, LIGHTS COME ON, BRAKES FAIL. LUCKILY I WAS GOING VERY SLOWLY AND ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY PUMPING THE BRAKES. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VCS SYSTEM WARNING INDICATORS GO OFF ON THE CAR, INCLUDING THE BRAKE LIGHT THE ABS LIGHT AND THEN THE BRAKES FAIL. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON THURSDAY, NOV. 6, AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT SINCE THE COMPUTER DIDN'T REGISTER A CODE. THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN ON SATURDAY, NOV, 8. AND THEN THE VCS SYSTEM WARNING INDICATORS WENT OFF WHEN I STARTED MY CAR ON TUESDAY, NOV. 11. AND THE BRAKES FAILED. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS CAR AROUND LIKE THIS NOT KNOWING WHEN THE BRAKES ARE GOING TO FAIL. IT'S NOT SAFE, AND I CAN'T GET ANY HELP FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I DON'T HAVE THE OPTION OF NOT DRIVING INTO WORK. I NEED A CAR. THIS CAR IS SUPPOSED TO BE SAFE. *TR

I CAN NOT STOP THE CAR ON RED LIGHT OR ANY STOP SIGN, THERE IS A ABS SIGN, THEY SUPPOSE TO FIX IT LAST MONTHS, I WENT TO THE DEALER THEN THEY REPLACE SOME THING. I AM WORRY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE BRAKE SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED WITHIN MINUTES. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ENGAGING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MERGE INTO A PARKING AREA AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER. THE FAILURE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

THE VEHICLE IS SLUGGISH OCCASIONALLY WHEN ACCELERATING. THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON AT FIRST AND NOW ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THAT IT IS THE BATTERY PACK. THE COST THEY QUOTED IS $4000. LAST MONTH I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ACTUATOR AND NOW ITS THE BATTERY PACK. THIS TOYOTA HAS BEEN VERY UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE. I HAD ISSUES WITH BRAKING LAST MONTH AND NOW IT IS HARD TO KNOW IF THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE WHEN NEEDED. TOYOTA HAS HAD A VERY POOR RESPONSE TO ANY INQUIRIES. THEY SHOW VERY LITTLE REGARD FOR PUBLIC SAFETY AND PREFER TO SETTLE CASES THAN TO BE PROACTIVE AND FIX THEIR UNRELIABLE AND DANGEROUS PRODUCTS. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS THE DASHBOARD ALL MELTED. THIS CAUSES A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF GLARE WHILE DRIVING DURING THE DAY AND YOU CANT SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I'VE LOOKED OVER THE INTERNET ASWELL AS TALKED WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE CAMRY MODELS. LOOKS LIKE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT WANT TO REPLACE. EVERY YEAR I CONTACT THEM AND ITS THE SAME ANSWER THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP !!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO THE MARKET AT 40MPH A SERIES OF WARNINGS CAME ON. THE "CHECK VSC SYSTEM", THE BRAKE LIGHT, ABS, SKID, PARKING LIGHT, AND GENERAL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR LOST ITS BRAKING POWER. I HAD TO PUSH DOWN VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE AND USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. SO FAR IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE. ACCORDING TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, THERE IS NO RECORD OF THE ERRORS OR LACK OF BRAKE POWER IN THE COMPUTER AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT. I AM NOT DRIVING IT NOW BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT CRASHING. *TR

MELTS IN THE SUN SO.SOFT A FINGERNAIL WILL DAMAGE IT WITH JUST A SIMPLE BRUSH. CANNOT CLEAN BECAUSE OF HOW SOFT IT GETS. CREATES A GLARE WHICH CAUSES BLINDSPOTS. *TR

AS I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY THE ABS WENT OUT AND ALMOST ALL BRAKE AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AND I LOST ALMOST ALL BRAKING AND STABILITY CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS LATER TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR HAD GONE OUT AND NEEDED TO BE CHANGED ($1500). IT TURNS OUT THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND ARE NOT ISSUING A RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT THEYRE OFFERING AN WARRANTY EXTENSION IF YOU KNOW WHAT TO ASK FOR SINCE THEY DON'T VOLUNTEER THE INFORMATION. I CAN'T STRESS HOW DANGEROUS OF A SITUATION THIS HAS LEFT ME WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT NOBODY IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HERE'S ALSO A REPORT BY CONSUMER REPORTS MAGAZINE FROM JULY 2014 THAT OUTLINES THE ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.CONSUMERREPORTS.ORG/CRO/NEWS/2014/07/WHY-TOYOTA-SHOULD-RECALL-THE-CAMRY-HYBRID/INDEX.HTM. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE MELTING, IT IS VERY STICKY AND SOFT TO THE TOUCH, I AM AFRAID IT MIGHT CAUSE AIRBAGS TO ACTIVATE PREMATURELY , OR TO NOT ACTIVE WHEN NECESSARY. I WENT ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA CAMRY'S. *TR

TOYOTA CAMRY - 2007 HEAD LITES - LOW BEAMS NOT GOOD. HIGH BEAMS NOT GOOD! GOOGLE "TOYOTA HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS" NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR 2007 AND ALSO OTHER YEARS. I CHECKED THE GROUND AND IT IS GROUNDED PROPERLY. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL! SOMEONE COULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT. NIGHT DRIVING IS NOT GOOD, EVEN WITH HIGH BEAMS! *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *SMD THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE INCIDENT WAS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL DEFECT. *JB

WE JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER YESTERDAY EVENING FROM A TOYOTA DEALER IN FL. I SAW A SHINY BLEMISH ON THE DASHBOARD UP BY THE LEFT FRONT SPEAKER AND THE SALESMAN TOLD US THE DASH WAS PROBABLY DAMAGED BY CLEANING AGENTS. I REALIZED TODAY AFTER THE CAR WAS IN THE SUN THAT THE WHOLE DASH WAS SOFT AND STICKY LIKE IT WAS MELTING AND WAS CAUSING A VERY BLINDING GLARE WHEN FACING CERTAIN DIRECTIONS WITH THE SUN. THE DASH IS SO SHINY THAT IT ALSO REFLECTS ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE WHOLE DASH FEELS LIKE A FLY TRAP AND TO ME SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE OF THE OBSTRUCTION OF DUE TO GLARE. I'VE BEEN READING ONLINE AND APPARENTLY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH A MELTING DASHBOARD, NOR IS IT LIMITED TO TOYOTA. IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURED PARTS DEFECT AND SHOULD BE HANDLED OR RECALLED BY THE CAR MANUFACTURE.. THERE ALSO SEEMS TO BE A SMELL THE HOTTER IT GETS IN THE CAR AND I DON'T KNOW IF ITS THE PLASTIC IN THE DASH OR IF IT COULD BE POTENTIALLY HARMFUL. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU! *TR

DASHBOARD SHINE REFLECT THE SUN. *TR

ON 10/14/2014 I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER FOR BRAKE RESERVOIR RECALL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND RESET THE BRAKE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL UNIT. ON 10/25/2014 WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AT WHICH TIME THE BRAKE WARNING, ABS WARNING, SLIP INDICATOR AND MASTER CAUTION WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKES GRABBED (OR MORE ACCURATELY: LOCKED RANDOM WHEELS IN A RANDOM SEQUENCE) CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CAREEN AND SWERVE OUT OF CONTROL. WHEELS APPARENTLY LOCKED UP COMPLETELY BECAUSE THERE WAS SMOKE AND SCREECHING. VEHICLE STOPPED SIDEWAYS IN THE INTERSECTION OUT OF CONTROL. HAD OTHER VEHICLES BEEN PRESENT IN ADJACENT LANES OR AHEAD OF ME THERE WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY BEEN AN ACCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD ONGOING BRAKE PROBLEMS INCLUDING A BRAKE ECU REPLACEMENT. AFTER BRAKE ECU REPLACEMENT NO TROUBLE HAS OCCURRED UNTIL THIS EVENT. THE HYBRID BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. WHEN THE HYBRID BATTERY FAILED THE FIRST TIME THE BRAKING SYSTEM ALSO BECAME UNSTABLE AND THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. THIS INCIDENT ALSO NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND WAS REPORTED TO NTSB. MY EXPERIENCE IS WHEN THERE IS A SYSTEM FAULT RELATED TO THE HYBRID BATTERY OR VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE SYSTEM BECOMES UNSTABLE. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. SUN VISOR WAS NOT TIGHT AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT STAY IN PLACE, AND EVENTUALLY IT DROPPED DOWN IN THE CONSUMERS VIEW. *TA

I JUST GOT MY 2007 CAMRY HYBRID BACK AFTER THE "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THIS PAST WEEK. I CALLED MY TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT WHILE I HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION DONE AS WELL AS ANOTHER RECALL DEALING WITH, I BELIEVE, WAS A BRAKE RESERVOIR ISSUE. EARLIER IN THE WEEK I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE TO ASK THEM ABOUT THIS WARNING I GOT AND THEY ASKED ABOUT THE NUMEROUS WARNING LIGHTS THAT CAME ON WHEN THIS HAPPENED ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. AND RECOMMENDED I GET IT CHECKED OUT. I LEFT THE VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY AND LATER IN THE DAY THEY CAME BACK AND TOLD ME THE ITEMS WERE DONE, WHAT THE EXCEPTION OF THE VSC SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT. THEY SAID THAT MY ACTUATOR WAS FAULTY. THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT IT AND WERE AWAITING A CALL BACK FROM THEM. THEY CALLED ME LATER IN THE DAY AND SAID THAT TOYOTA WAS WILLING TO DO THE REPAIR, FREE OF CHARGE, AS A "ONE TIME ONLY" DEAL. I NEVER MADE A BIG DEAL OUT OF THIS SITUATION, NEVER COMPLAINING. IRONICALLY, A WARNING LIGHT DEALING WITH MY TIRE PRESSURE THAT HAS NEVER CAME OFF IS GONE AS WELL AS THOSE OTHER LIGHTS INCLUDING THE (!), ABS, THE "SKIDDING CAR", ETC. AMONG OTHERS ALSO, MY CAMRY HAS OVER 233,000 MILES, NO WHERE NEAR A WARRANTY TYPE REPAIR! THIS MUST BE A PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA IS DEALING WITH, BUT ARE KEEPING IT ON THE "DOWN LOW" TO AVOID A RECALL AND ANOTHER PUBLIC EMBARRASSMENT. I AM ALSO FORWARDING THIS TO THE NTSB AND OUT LOCAL TV STATION. I AM SURE THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND HOPE THAT NO ONE IS ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY THIS OBVIOUS FACTORY DEFECT. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS ENGINE HAS HIGH ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAKS, NO BLUE SMOKE INDICATION, AND OIL LAMP KEEPS GOING OF ON STOPS AND ACCELERATION. WHEN THAT HAPPENS IS BECAUSE THE ENGINE OIL IS LOW, EVEN AFTER REGULAR OIL CHANGES AT MILEAGE AND DATED RECOMMENDATIONS TOYOTA DO HAVE A HISTORY OF THIS IN LATE 90' WITH V6 MODELS DUE TO OIL SLUGGISH AND APPEARS IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS IS ALSO SAFETY CONCERN CAUSE THE VEHICLE MIGHT CEASED DURING OPERATION AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ON OUR NATIONAL HIGHWAYS. ALSO IT IS BELIEVE THAT THIS IS MANUFACTURER DEFECT ISSUE AND TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECTIFY. *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IT'S BECOME EXTREMELY STICKY AND SHINY. EVEN WHEN I TRY TO WASH IT, IT CONTINUES TO SECRETE A SLIMY STICKY FILM. THE PLASTIC IS FAILING. TOYOTA WANTS OVER 2000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE IT. IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT'S SO TERRIBLY SHINY. I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2007. *TR

BRAKING IS NOT SMOOTH. WHEN VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP IT JERKS. SEEMS AS THOUGH BRAKES JAM. *TR

ENGINE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OIL LIGHT START FLICKERING AFTER TURNS AND APPLYING BREAK PEDAL. I PULLED MY VEHICLE OVER AND SHUT DOWN AN ENGINE. AFTER I CHECKED MY OIL LEVEL AND IT WAS HARDLY ON A STICK. I DO CHANGE MY OIL REGULARLY, EVERY 5000 MILES. TOYOTA'S OIL LIGHT STARTS FLICKERING WHEN I LOST ALMOST 3 QUARTERS, WHICH COULD LEAD TO ENGINE SHUT DOWN, GLAD I WASN'T ON A HIGHWAY AT THAT TIME AND HAD ENOUGH TIME TO PULL OVER AND TAKE MY CAR TO A MECHANIC TO ADD ENGINE OIL. AS A RESULT OF TOYOTA'S ENGINE ENGINEERING FLOW I LOST ABOUT 3 QUARTERS OF ENGINE OIL IN A LESS THAN 3000. AFTER THIS UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE I HAVE BEEN KEEPING MY EYE ON OIL LEVEL. LATER ON I TOOK A CAR TO AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. AFTER CHECKING A CAR THEY DIAGNOSED AN OIL LEAK, I FIXED IT, HOWEVER PROBLEM STILL EXIST. MY CAR STILL USES WAY TOO MUCH OIL, WHICH MAKE IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE SINCE I HAVE SLIGHT IDEA WHEN OIL COULD DISAPPEAR WHILE OPERATING A VEHICLE.

DASHBOARD BECOMES STICKY AND DISINTEGRATING, EASILY BREAKS APART AND SCRATCHES. CAR HAS BEEN KEPT IN CARPORT FOR THE ENTIRE LIFE OF CAR. *TR

WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA A FEW WEEKS AGO, THEY SAID NO ONE HAD COMPLAINED AND THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. AND THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SAID IT COULD COST UP TO $3000 TO REPLACE. AND MY WINDSHIELD AND OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS THE POOR QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL IS THE REASON FOR THIS TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. *TR

MY 2007 SOLARA HAS A VERY STICKY DASH TO THE POINT THAT IF I HAVE ANY PAPER ON IT, I HAVE TO PEEL IT OFF THE DASH WITH PIECES STILL STUCK ON THE DASH. IT IS SO SHINY AND PRODUCES SO MUCH GLARE THAT I HAVE TO WEAR UV SUNGLASSES WHEN DRIVING. THIS IS TERRIBLE. THE AMOUNT OF CRACKS ARE "GROWING" ON THE DASH. THIS WAS VERY NOTICABLE OVER A YEAR AGO, BUT I DIDNT UNDERSTAND THE EXTENT UNTIL I TOOK IT TO MY TOYOTA SERVICE AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. IT WAS REPORTED ON 10/10 & THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPT CAME BACK & TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS MY FIFTH TOYOTA, INCLUDING A 98 CAMRY THAT I STILL OWN AND NONE OF THEM EVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I AM EXTREMELY DISATISFIED THAT TOYOTA WILL NOW REPAIR THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD AND AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT, AS I NOW REALIZE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FOR MANY MONTHS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION SOON AFTER CAR BEING SERVICED. LESS THAN 2 WEEKS OIL HAS DEPLETED. CAUSING ENGINE NOT TO START OR STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC THAN CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR A POSSIBLE FIRE BECAUSE NO OIL. THEREFORE AFFECTING OTHER PARTS OF THE CAR EVENTUALLY. TOYOTA HAS RELEASED EXTENDED WARRANTY AND KNEW ABOUT THIS MATTER FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. BUT ARE TELLING ITS CUSTOMERS THEY ARE WORKING ON PUTTING PART TOGETHER TO REPLACE THOSE PARTS AT THEIR EXPENSE. HOWEVER, AS CUSTOMERS, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED DATES OF WHEN OUR VEHICLES WILL BE FIXED.

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR IS BROKEN AND HANGING DOWN. TOYOTA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON OUR VISORS TO 7 YEARS FROM PURCHASE WHICH EXPIRED ON 4/27/14. THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR WAS REPLACED DURING THE RECALL BUT NOT THE DRIVER SIDE. *TR

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE A NEAR 0% EFFECTIVENESS. I LEAVE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IN THE "ALWAYS ON" POSITION, BUT AT NIGHT I OFTEN HAVE TO SWITCH THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND THEN BACK ON TO VERIFY THEY ARE ON. WHEN THEY ARE ON AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS ARE AT NEAR 0% EFFECTIVENESS.

I HAVE A 2007 CAMRY HYBRID. THE DASHBOARD IS CONSTANTLY STICKY AND IT FEELS LIKE IT'S LITERALLY MELTING AWAY. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT GETS HOT, I CAN GOUGE OUT THE PLASTIC.

THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAD 80,000 MILES ON IT AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE. *TR

OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED HAVING WHAT APPEARS TO BE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS COME ON WHILE THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER BOUNCE UP AND DOWN UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE AC CUTS IN AND OUT WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. IT WILL CORRECT ITSELF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN START ACTING UP AGAIN. I AM READING MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND FEEL TOYOTA SHOULD DEFINITELY DO SOMETHING TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. *TR
