2007 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

ON 11/19/2013, I FLIPPED MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE AIR BAGS NEVER CAME OUT. I REPORTED TO TOYOTA CORPORATION AND THEY NEVER OFFERED AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS.

STARTED MY CAR, NOTICED OIL LAMP CAME ON THEN OFF. PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AND OIL LAMP LIGHT FLASHED AGAIN. OIL LIGHT CAME ON AT LEAST A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES. CAME TO TRAFFIC LIGHT, CAME TO A SOFT STOP TO OBSERVE TRAFFIC BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO TURN RIGHT. CAR THEN SHUT OFF AND ALL INDICATORS WERE ON, SUCH AS, BATTERY, ENGINE LIGHT, OIL LIGHT, AND AIR BAG. I PROCEEDED TO RESTART CAR. NO PROBLEM WITH RESTART, OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO FIND OUT WHY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND DUE TO FEAR! TOYOTA EMPLOYEE TOLD ME THEY WOULD DO A DIAGNOSTIC ON MY VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE TO FIND CAUSE OF SHUT DOWN. PLEASE NOTE, I DID AN OIL CHANGE OCT.15, 2013 AND NOV 18, 2013 CAR SHUT DOWN! AFTER ARRIVING AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY CAR CHECKED TO FIND OUT WHY IT SIMPLY SHUT DOWN, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS NO TIME TO DO A CHECK TO FIND OUT WHAT CAUSED MY CAR TO SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANAGER GAVE ME A VERY SIMPLE REASON AS TO WHY AND WHAT CAUSED IT TO SHUT DOWN. MANAGER TOLD ME I HAVE AN OIL LEAK INSIDE THE ENGINE OF MY CAR. MANAGER STATED I DIDN'T HAVE TO BUY A NEW ENGINE, BUT I NEEDED TO DO A 100-500 OIL DIP STICK CHECK. WHY WAS THE DIP STICK DOWN TO NOTHING IN THE FIRST PLACE? WHY WAS THERE NO OIL IN MY CAR? TECHNICIAN NEVER PUT OIL IN MY CAR. TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE TO ENGINE AS A RESULT OF THEIR MISHANDLING OF VEHICLE AND MAKING FALSE STATEMENTS REGARDING ME. TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR STRESS ON OF MY TOYOTA 2007 CAMRY ENGINE. MY LIFE AND THAT OF OTHERS AT RISK BECAUSE OF TOYOTA.. *TR

DASHBORD MELTING (MATERIAL MELT IN THE SUN LIGHT), THAT LEADS TO REFLECTION ON THE GLASS DURING THE DAY TIME THAT HAZADRDS TO DRIVERS. *TR

VVTI OIL LINE RUPTURE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY W/ V6 ENGINE WE PURCHASED THIS NEW AT A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER W/ MYSELF AS THE ONLY OTHER OCCASIONAL DRIVER. THE VEHICLE HAS RECEIVED REGULAR MAINTENANCE ALTHOUGH NOT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. VEHICLE, AT TIME OF INCIDENT (11-15-13), HAD 50,893 MILES. WHEN MY WIFE RETURNED HOME FROM SHOPPING SHE SAW A TRAIL OF OIL UP THE DRIVEWAY AND INTO THE GARAGE. THE OIL TRAIL APPEARED TO BEGIN DOWN THE STREET NEAR OUR HOME. WHEN WE RESTARTED THE ENGINE, OIL GUSHED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE V-6 ENGINE. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND IT WAS ABOUT 1 1/2 - 2 QUARTS LOW. OUR TOYOTA USES NO OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. OIL HAD SPRAYED ALL OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE, THE UNDERCARRIAGE, AND SOME OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED A VVTI OIL LINE PROBLEM WITH CERTAIN TOYOTA VEHICLES W/ A V-6 ENGINE. A SHORT RUBBER SECTION OF EXTERNAL ENGINE OIL LINE WOULD LEAK OR RUPTURE. OURS RUPTURED WITH-OUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS OR ALARMS. THE NEXT MORNING WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED AND THEY REPAIRED AND VERIFIED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE VVTI OIL LINE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED BY TOYOTA AND WE HAD TO PAY. I FOUND OUT TOYOTA DID HAVE A LSC 90-K PHASE TWO CAMPAIGN THAT DID COVER THIS BUT IT HAD EXPIRED. WE WERE UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I CALLED AND COMPLAINED TO 2 LEVELS OF TOYOTA THEN WROTE THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT TORRANCE, CA. BUT THEY ALL SAID LETTERS WERE SENT OUT AND THE CAMPAIGN HAD EXPIRED MARCH 31, 2013. THE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE DID OFFER A LIMITED REFUND FOR FUTURE PARTS OR SERVICE AT TOYOTA DEALERS. THIS PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND TOYOTA SHOULD NOT HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE FOR REPAIRING THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE FIRES AND RUIN ENGINES. FORTUNATELY WE ONLY LOST A SMALL AMOUNT OF OIL AND THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE DAMAGED OUR ENGINE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND LOST POWER. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2007 CAMRY IS MELTING. IT IS VERY STICKY AND PARTS ARE ALSO VERY SHINY CAUSING A GLARE. TOYOTA SAYS THEY HAVE NO CURRENT PROGRAM TO RESOLVE THIS SO I THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY 2200 TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND A NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

BRAKE FAILURE ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND TO DECELERATION ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VSC WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BRAKE ACTUATOR HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 74,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK HEAT SHIELD BECAME SEPARATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THAT THE HEAT SHIELD METAL FAILED DUE TO ELECTRICAL CHARGE AND CORROSION. THE FUEL HEAT SHIELD WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,345.

THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING , ABOUT A MINUTE LATER THE CHECK VSC LIGHT COMES ON AND THE POWER BRAKES FAIL, YOU CAN STILL STOP WITH THE BRAKE, BUT YOU HAVE TO REALLY PRESS HARD ON THE BRAKE, AFTER DRIVING A COUPLE MILES OR A FEW MINUTES THE BRAKES WILL RETURN TO NORMAL. VERY DISCONCERTING AND DANGEROUS, AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR

ABS SYSTEM COMPUTER PROBLEMS. ALL THE DASHBOARD AND THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING. THE SPEEDOMETER WENT ZERO, THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL FOR 5 MINUTES AND STOP WORKING AGAIN. THE TEMPERATURE IT IS TO HIGH DUE OF THE MALFUNCTION OF THE AIR CONDITION. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH CLOSE TO 95 DEGREES IN MIAMI. TOYOTA DEALER INSPECTED MY CAR AND TOLD ME I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR AT CLOSE TO $3,500 DOLLARS COST. *TR

ALL SENSOR LIGHTS CAME ON WITH "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" MESSAGE. BRAKES FELT MUSHY AND IT WAS HARDER TO STOP. TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP NEXT DAY BUT LIGHTS HAD TURNED OFF. DEALERSHIP SCANNED FOR COMPUTER CODES BUT FOUND NOTHING. EVERYTHING FINE. 6 WEEKS LATER ON 300 MILE TRIP, SAME THING OCCURRED. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CONTINUE ON TRIP AND RETURN HOME A WEEK LATER. TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP. NOW THEY STATE THAT THERE IS AN INTERNAL LEAK IN THE ABS ACTUATOR AND WANT $3,189.00 TO FIX. READ WHERE THIS PART HAS BEEN REDESIGNED DUE TO AN ENGINEERING FLAW IN ORIGINAL PART AND WHERE MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL HAVE EXPERIENCED SAME PROBLEM. THE REPAIR COST IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS MAKES MY CAR DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, BUT I CANNOT AFFORD THE FIX. *TR

MY 2007 CAMRY HYBRID HAS BRAKING ISSUES. I HAVE THE PUMPING NOISE WHEN BRAKES ARE DEPRESSED, WHICH JUST KEEPS GETTING LOUDER. EARLIER THIS YEAR I ALMOST SLAMMED INTO THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME ONCE WHEN, WHILE I WAS COMING TO A STOP ALL MY BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AND MY CAR SHOT FORWARD. I HAD TO SWERVE INTO THE ONCOMING LANE TO AVOID REAR-ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO CARS IN THE ONCOMING LANE AT THAT MOMENT. ONCE I WAS STOPPED ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND I BACKED UP INTO A DRIVEWAY TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. VERY SCARY. *TR

I WAS GOING (TRAVELING) ON SOUTH UNION RD WITH MY TOYOTA CAMRY WITH SPEED ABOUT 45-50 M.P.H. I WAS GONNA MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN ON 6602 S. UNION ROAD. AT THAT TIME MY TOYOTA TOOK OFF WITH MAX SPEED AND I WAS TRYING TO USE MY BRAKE WHICH IT WAS NOT WORKING. AT THAT TIME I COULD NOT STOP MY CAR AND I WENT OFF THE ROAD IN A CORNFIELD. *TR

DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH AND I WAS GOING TO SLOW DOWN TO PARK ON THE CURB AND CAR HAD TROUBLE STOPPING, THE VSC SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT WENT ON AND THEN THE ENGINE JUST DIED. HAD CAR CHECKED OUT IN DECEMBER AT TOYOTA OF REDLANDS AND SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR AND COST TO FIX WAS GOING TO BE AROUND $2800.00, I DECLINED AND THEY UNDERSTOOD IT WAS EXPENSIVE. *TR

PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE ABS SYSTEM ON THE HYBRID 2007 CAMRY. I ALMOST KILLED MYSELF ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I WAS GOING ABOUT 60MPH WHEN I HIT ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN ON A CURVE THE BRAKES WOULD NOT RESPOND, IT WAS LIKE THE BRAKES WERE REALLY HARD TO STEP ON, AND TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL. THE LIGHTS TO CHECK THE VSC SYSTEM CAME ON, CHECK ABS, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT. AFTER A FEW SECONDS EVERYTHING WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS ON THE 2007 CAMRY HYBRID. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT SO TOYOTA CAN RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. AFTER TAKING IT TO TOYOTA FOR THE LAST 5 MONTHS WITHOUT FINDING A PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE COMPUTER WOULD NOT REGISTER ANYTHING AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, NOW THEY ARE SAYING ITS THE ABS SYSTEM AND IT COST $4,000 TO FIX IT. THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THAT NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE REGISTERED COMPLAINTS. SO I ASK HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE WE GET ANY ATTENTION. *TR

BRAKES FAIL... THE PEDAL BRAKE IS PUT SO HARD TO PUSH WHEN COMING A LIGHT TO VSC CHECK SYSTEM...IM SO ANGRY TO TOYOTA ... BUT I STILL LOVE MY CAR ... I NO USE MY CAR BECAUSE IS NOT SECURE FOR MY FAMILY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, ALL OF THE WARNINGS LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE CONTACT HAD TO USE EXTREME FORCE ON THE BRAKE IN ORDER FOR THEM TO ENGAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

I STARTED MY CAR ONE MORNING, AND SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON: (EMERGENCY) BRAKE LIGHT, RED WARNING LIGHT, YELLOW WARNING LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT. THIS WARNING CAME AND WENT INTERMITTENTLY FOR SOME TIME, AND NOW SEEMS TO BE A PERMANENT PROBLEM. THE BRAKES FEEL JAGGED WHILE PRESSING LIGHTLY, ALMOST LIKE THE BRAKE PADS ARE GONE, AND THE ROTORS ARE UNEVEN. A DEALERSHIP IN OKLAHOMA IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM TO BE WITH THE "ACCUMULATOR" FOR THE ABS SYSTEM. THIS PART AND THE LABOR TO PUT IT IN WILL RUN ME NEARLY $3000, A SUM FAR TOO MANY CAR OWNERS CANNOT AFFORD, INCLUDING MYSELF. TOYOTA HAS INSISTED THAT BECAUSE MY THE PART IS OUT OF 3YR/36000 MILE WARRANTY, THEY WILL NOT HELP IN THE COST OF THIS REPAIR. MEANWHILE, TOYOTA HAS CHANGED THE ORIGINAL OEM PART, A TACIT ACCEPTANCE THAT THE ORIGINAL IS FLAWED, AND NEEDED TO BE RE-ENGINEERED. I CANNOT BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE REPORTED THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM ONLINE WITH NO RECOURSE BUT TO PAY A PHENOMENAL SUM TO HAVE A PART REPLACED THAT IS KNOWN TO HAVE A DANGEROUS DEFECT.

THERE IS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION FOR MY CAR. I HAVE NOTICED THAT I HAVE TO ADD 5-7 QUARTS OF OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES BECAUSE ABOUT 2000 MILES AFTER MY OIL CHANGE MY OIL LIGHT COMES ON. I CHECK THE OIL AND THE STICK IS BONE DRY MEANING IT IS VERY LOW, ALMOST EMPTY. I HAVE TO ADD A FEW QUARTS OF OIL AND THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I DO THIS UNTIL I NEED TO GO BACK TO GET MY OIL CHANGED AGAIN. THIS IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BASED ON THE RELIABILITY AND DRIVING MY TWO CHILDREN AROUND DAILY IT MAKES ME NERVOUS KNOWING THAT IF I DO NOT STAY DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THIS MY ENGINE COULD BLOW. *TR

BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILED ON THE CAR. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THIS. THE OEM REPLACEMENT PART NUMBER IS A DIFFERENT PART NUMBER THAN OEM THAT THE CAR WAS BUILT WITH. THE CAR THANKFULLY WASN'T DAMAGED AS IT WAS GOING VERY SLOWLY, AND ONLY CRASHED INTO THE CURB WHEN THE BRAKE ACTUATOR COMPLETELY FAILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO STOP. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR BY MYSELF TO HOME DEPOT IN LA HABRA. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON (I DON'T RECALL IF THERE WAS AN AUDIBLE SOUND OR NOT) SAYING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VSB BRAKE SYSTEM AND I SHOULD GET IT CHECKED OUT. BECAUSE THE WARNING SCARED ME, I TAPPED ON MY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN SO I COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT IT MEANT AND WHAT I SHOULD DO. BUT MY BRAKES DIDN'T RESPOND. I PUSHED ON MY BRAKES AND REALIZED IT WASN'T SLOWING MY CAR DOWN. I PULLED INTO THE CENTER DIVIDER/TURNING LANE SO I COULD BE OUT OF THE WAY. I FIGURED THE CAR WOULD STOP IF I PUT IT INTO "PARK", BUT IT DIDN'T. WITH MY FOOT COMPLETELY PRESSING THE BRAKE, AND THE CAR IN "PARK" I TURNED INTO THE HOME DEPOT DRIVEWAY AT WHAT FELT LIKE 30 MPH AND THE CAR EVENTUALLY SLOWED DOWN SINCE I WASN'T ACCELERATING ANYMORE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE. MY HUSBAND CALLED A MECHANIC HE KNOWS AND HE SAID TO PRESS THE ON/OFF SWITCH A COUPLE TIMES TO RESET THE COMPUTER OR SOMETHING. I DID THAT AND THE CAR TURNED ON AGAIN LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. I REFUSED TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYWHERE BECAUSE I WAS SO SCARED. MY HUSBAND CAME TO PICK ME UP AND HE DROVE IT TO TOYOTA OF WHITTIER. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR, DON'T WORRY, AND HE WOULDN'T RELEASE IT TO ME IF IT WASN'T SAFE. WE TOOK IT TO LONGO TOYOTA THE FOLLOWING WEEK. (BEFORE THIS INCIDENT, THE BRAKES HAD STARTED MAKING "SQUELCHING" NOISES AND WOULD PULSE WHEN THEY WERE PRESSED FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO PRIOR) THEY HAD THEIR "HEAD" MECHANIC DRIVE WITH MY HUSBAND AND THE MECHANIC FELT AND HEARD THE BRAKE PROBLEMS WE DESCRIBED, BUT SAID HE WOULDN'T FIX IT BECAUSE IT WOULD TAKE TOO MUCH OF HIS TIME AND IT WASN'T WORTH IT TO THEM. WE DON'T HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR THIS VISIT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AND THEY DIDN'T TAKE THE CAR INTO THEIR GARAGE. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO THE BRAKES WENT OUT AGAIN WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. *TR

DRIVING MY CAMRY HYBRID THIS MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK, STOPPED BY GAS STATION FOR SNACKS AND DRINK, BRAKE SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED UPON BACKING OUT OF MY STALL. BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK GOING FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY DASH. LOOKED IT UP IN OWNERS MANUAL. TOLD ME BRAKES WORKED BUT TO DRIVE SLOW. IMMEDIATELY DROVE HOME. HAD TO STOP AT MULTIPLE FOUR WAY STOPS, NEARLY WRECKED TWICE. VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT OR KILLED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO RESOLVE! TURNS OUT IT IS MY ABS ACCUMULATOR, TOYOTA WANTS $2500 TO FIX. I WANT TOYOTA TO FIX IT FOR FREE SINCE IT IS A SAFETY SYSTEM MALFUNCTION ON A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE. *TR

ABS LIGHT IS ON. SO FAR THE CAR STOPS FINE BUT MAKES A STRANGE SOUND WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AND VEHICLE VIBRATES WHEN COMING TO A STOP. ANTILOCK BRAKES DO NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING AS THE CAR DOES SKID IN WET CONDITIONS. *TR

OILINESS DASHBOARD IS MAKING DRIVING DIFFICULT WHILE DRIVING TOWARDS SUN, IT IS REFLECTING THE LIGHT TOWARDS MY EYES. WHEN I SEARCHED FOR THE SOLUTION IN INTERNET, I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH 2007 CAMRY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD COVER WAS MELTING AND FRACTURED WHEN TOUCHED. THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT AREA MELTED AND EXPOSED THE BOARD. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAGS MAY DEPLOY AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRES MAY FAIL, IF EXPOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 CAMRY, THE CAR JUST CUT OFF. PRIOR TO CUTTING OFF, THE BATTERY LIGHT FLASHED AND THE CARE HESITATED. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND IT CRANK BACK UP BUT SPUTTERED. THEN THE CAR RAN FINE. ALSO, THE CAR IS BURNING A GREAT DEAL OF OIL. *TR

ALL THE 4 STRUTS ARE LEAKING. I TOOK THE CAR FOR TIRE ROTATION AT GOODYEAR SERVICE STATION. THEY TOLD ME THAT ALL 4 STRUTS ARE LEAKING AND NEED REPLACEMENT. I THEN TOOK THE CAR OF NTB THEY SAID SAME THING. IT'S UNUSUAL FOR CARMY WITH 50000 MILES TO HAVE ALL 4 STRUTS LEAKING. I SEE LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE CAMRY. THE RIDE IS BUMPY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL THERE IS A POPPING/CLUNKING SOUND. HAD DEALERSHIP CHECK THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THAT THE "INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT" NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES DROPPED TO ZERO, THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS, ILLUMINATED, AND THE A/C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. PROBLEM PERSISTED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THE TACHOMETER BOUNCED AROUND WHILE THE REST OF THE GAUGES REMAINED AT 0 OR COLD FOR THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE. THIS CONTINUES TO BE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE CONNECTED TO TRAVEL SPEED, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATION OR ANY OTHER EXTERNAL VARIATIONS. ALTHOUGH CURRENTLY THIS SEEMS TO BE THE NOW NORMAL AS IT IS IN THIS STATE MORE OFTEN THAN IT WORKS PROPERLY. I DO NOT KNOW THE SPEED THAT I AM TRAVELING. DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK WHEN TEMPERATURE NEEDS TO BE COOLER BECAUSE A/C DOES NOT WORK DURING THESE EPISODES AND ENTIRE WINDSHIELD CLOUDS UP MAKING IT DANGEROUS.HAD TO DRIVE WITH WINDOWS IN A DRIVING RAINSTORM. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON THIS WEBSITE 6 TIMES IN LAST 6 MONTHS. SEEMS LIKE A RECURRING PROBLEM. *TR

I'M RETURNING HOME FROM WORK AND DRIVING ON A FREEWAY WITH 60MPH LIMIT. I REMEMBER DRIVING AT 45MPH AND MAINTAINED A VERY GOOD DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME TRIED TO SLOWED DOWN AND THAT PROMPTED ME TO APPLY THE BRAKES. ALL OF A SUDDEN BRAKES FAILED AND COULDN'T CONTROL THE CAR TO STOP. THE CAR JUST SKIDDED AND HIT THE VAN WITH BIG FORCE. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME IS A SHUTTLE AND NO PASSENGERS INJURED. ENGINE AND FRONT PART DAMAGED VERY BAD AND I MYSELF HIT MY FACE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I CUT MY LIP AND HIT ON MY NOSE VERY BAD. I STILL RECOVERING FROM INJURIES. THOUGH THE CRASH IS SO BAD, AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND RESULTED INJURIES ON ME. THE POLICE AND OTHERS WHO TRIED TO HELP ME WONDERED WHY THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. ALL THESE DAYS I'M TRYING TO RECOVER FROM THE INJURIES AND COULDN'T SEND THIS COMPLAINT OVER. I GOT THE WEBSITE REFERENCE AFTER CHECKING WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CHECK VSC LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS MANY OTHER BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I FELT AS THOUGH I HAD LESS CONTROL OF THE CAR AT THE TIME AND MY BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK UNTIL I PRESSED THEM WITH SEVERE FORCE. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT THE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND OFF SPORADICALLY, EACH TIME WE WOULD LOSE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE BRAKES. IN NOVEMBER THE LIGHT CAME ON AS WE WERE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF ABOUT 65MPH AND HAS STAYED ON SINCE. WE HAVE REPLACED THE COMPUTER AS WELL AS THE BRAKE RESERVOIR WITH NO RESULTS. OUR CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANNOT SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAD MY REAR BRAKES INSTALLED AT HOLLYWOOD TOYOTA IN OCTOBER OF 2013. AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP ONCE THE JOB WAS COMPLETE, MY ABS LIGHT, THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, MY SPEED ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING ALONG WITH MY AC WHICH STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. I TOOK THE CAR BACK THE FOLLOWING DAY AND GOT THE RUNAROUND. THE TOYOTA MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR SINCE IT WAS NEW, AND IT WAS GIVING TO MUCH AMPS. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE PLACE THE ALTERNATOR WAS PUT IN. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE PROBLEM. MY SERVICE TECH [XXX] SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE ON THE CAR. OF COURSE I GOT MAD! WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. THE SUNDAY BEFORE MY LAST VISIT TO HOLLYWOOD TOYOTA, IT STARTED RAINING, WHICH CAUSED MY WINDOWS TO FOG UP INSIDE AND ME DRIVING IN A DITCH BECAUSE OF POOR VISIBILITY. NOT FROM THE OUTSIDE, BUT FROM THE INSIDE EVERYTHING BECAME FOGGING IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR, WHERE I EITHER HAD TO MAKE CONTACT WITH A CAR IN FRONT OF ME OR GO OFF INTO THE DITCH TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT FROM WHIPPING THE WINDOW TRYING TO SEE IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN, I SAW HOLLYWOOD TOYOTA NOT WANTING TO EXCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACTIONS IT HAS CAUSED! I CONTACTED TOYOTA CORPORATE AND THEY IN TURN ALLOWED ME TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC WITHOUT COST. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE PROBLEM WAS NO BETTER THEN I TOOK IT IN. BUT IN ADDITION TO ME TAKING IT IN. I WENT ONLINE AND SAW I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD PROBLEM WITH THE ABS, BRAKE LIGHT STYLE COMING ON ALONG WITH THE SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING. AFTER DANG NEAR PULLING WHAT HAIR I HAVE LEFT OUT, I AM REACHING OUT TO YOU TO HELP ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE A MAJOR ACCIDENT OCCUR AND LIVES ARE LOST, BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE WHO'S AC MAY NOT BE WORKING ON THE ACCOUNT OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILING WOULD BE A TRAGEDY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND BRAKE TO MAKE A TURN INTO THE GATE LEADING TO MY HOME AND THE BRAKES FAILED,EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE PEDDLE WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR FAILED TO SLOW OR STOP, THANKFULLY THERE WASN'T ANYONE IN FRONT OF ME OR I WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY REAR-ENDED THEM. THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY STOPPED MORE THAN 400 METERS AWAY WITH ME PUMPING THE BRAKES! AT THE TIME VSC, ABS & BRAKE LIGHTS LIT UP THE DASH. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND INQUIRED WHETHER THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY STATED EMPHATICALLY "NO". AFTER RUNNING DIAGNOSTIC ON THE VEHICLE, I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD TO PAY $3000.00 TO FIX IT. I COULDN'T AFFORD TO FIX THE CAR THEN SO WE USED MY DAUGHTERS VEHICLE. LAST MONTH I PAID $3200.00 TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED! I ALSO WENT ONLINE TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, INCLUDING ACTUAL ACCIDENTS AND NEAR MISSES LIKE MINE. THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 CAMRY HYBRID BRAKING SYSTEM AND TOYOTA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. THEY ALSO NEED TO REFUND THOSE WHO HAVE HAD TO SHELL OUT THIS EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO FIX THEIR DEFECTIVE PART. BRAKES ARE A NECESSITY AND THESE ARE ALL ACCIDENTS WAITING TO HAPPEN! TOYOTA NEEDS TO HELD ACCOUNTABLE ...YET AGAIN FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM. WE DEFINITELY DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO DIE OR ACCIDENTS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS TRAVELING 55 MPH ON A 4-LANE HIGHWAY IN HER 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. A TRUCK BEHIND HER ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE LANES REAR-ENDED HER AND CAUSED A CHAIN-REACTION CRASH INVOLVING 5 VEHICLES. THE TOYOTA SUSTAINED HEAVY DAMAGE TO THE BACK AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. ALL OF THE TOYOTA'S AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE TRUCK'S AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED AS WELL AS THE BMW. THE SUV'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY (IT WAS AN EARLIER MODEL SUV). MY DAUGHTER WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT SHE SUSTAINED A SEVERE WHIPLASH INJURY TO HER NECK AND A BRUISED ARM. SHE LATER COMPLAINED OF PAIN RADIATING DOWN HER BACK. PLEASE REFER TO RECALL ID #06V096000 - AIR BAGS RECALL DATE: APRIL 03, 2006. WE WERE NOT INFORMED OF THE AIRBAG RECALL. WE RECEIVED A REPLY FROM TOYOTA SUGGESTING THAT THE IMPACT DID NOT OCCUR IN THE PROPER POSITION FOR THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF AIRBAGS IF IT FAILS TO DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT AND THE SENSORS NEED TO BE HIT IN A CERTAIN POSITION? A COPY OF THE TOYOTA LETTER MAY BE PROVIDED TO THE NHTSA UPON REQUEST. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION CONCERNING COLLISIONS WHERE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED A LOUD THUMP. THE VEHICLE THEN STARTED TO VIBRATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT ALL FOUR STRUTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.

DRIVING AT APPROX 30 MPH APPROACHING A RED LIGHT ALL WARNING LIGHTS GO ON IN DASHBOARD AND BELL SOUNDS, WENT TO PUT ON BRAKES AND COULD,NT SLOW DOWN UNTIL I APPLIED HEAVY PRESSURE TO BRAKES, AND FINALLY STOPPED. THIS HAPPENS NOT ALL THE TIME BUT OFTEN ENOUGH TO BE DANGEROUS,AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP QUICK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE HEADLIGHT GO OUT. IF I TURN THEM OFF THEN BACK ON THEY COME ON. SOME TIMES THIS HAPPENS EVERY MINUTE OR SO AND SOMETIME THEY WORK FINE. I HAVE REPLACED THE LEFT LOW BEAM THINKING I HAD A BAD LIGHT. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURE. *TR

THE DASH BOARD ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS BECOME EXTREMELY SOFT AND GLARES BACK INTO THE WINDOW CAUSING IT HARD TO SEE. THIS CLEARLY SHOULD BE A DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT. IT IS CLEAR TO SEE THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE AS PER ALL THE POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET. I HOPE THAT THE AGENCY IN CHARGE OF SAFETY LOOKS AT THIS AS A REAL PROBLEM AND NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS BEFORE REACTING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND RPM GAUGE READINGS FLUCTUATED. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE AND ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED SIMULTANEOUSLY.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 141,000.

PARKING BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON FIRST, ALL OF THE SUDDEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON. WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE TO PULL OVER, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. I HAD TO PUSH IN ON THE BRAKES EVEN HARDER. WHEN I TURNED OFF THE CAR, STARTED IT BACK UP ALL LIGHTS WERE OFF. THE CAR BRAKES WERE WORKING ONCE MORE. TOOK THE CAR TO TEMECULA DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG, CHARGED $1,500 FOR MAINTENANCE. TWO MONTHS LATER, AFTER DRIVING MY CAR THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS EVERY WEEKEND, THE BRAKES REPEAT THE PREVIOUS INCIDENT. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK AS I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THERE NEVER WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES BEFORE THE DECEMBER INCIDENT. I SPOKE WITH THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING BOTH INCIDENTS TO NO AVAIL. UNFORTUNATELY, THE TOYOTA PEOPLE HAD NO REGARD FOR MY SAFETY. I WAS ALLOWED TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR TWO MONTHS AFTER I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR REPAIRS. ON DECEMBER 11, 2013 THE BRAKE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVER. WE WOULD BE CHARGE $3,000 DOLLARS FOR BRAKE REPAIRS. WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE PAY A TOTAL OF $4,500. I HAVE BEEN A TOYOTA CUSTOMER FOR THIRTY YEARS. I WILL NEVER BUY TOYOTA AGAIN. TOTAL DISREGARD FOR CUSTOMER SAFETY, IT'S ALL ABOUT $$$. *TR

KNOCKING NOISE, ALMOST LIKE A DOOR CLOSING, LIVED WITH IT. TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, DECEMBER 11 TO BE TOLD MY ABS MODULE WAS QUOTE "FAILING" AND IT WOULD COST $2,900.00 TO REPLACE IT. ALSO TOLD "IT'S OK TO DRIVE WITHOUT ABS MODULE". I WAS SHOCKED AT THE NUMBER OF FAILURES THAT I SEE REPORTED - GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT THAT TOYOTA HAS CHOSEN NOT TO ADDRESS WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN OBVIOUS FLAW. *TR

BRAKING WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN IN PARK MODE A KNOCKING SOUND IS HEARD; BRAKING UNEVEN BUT (PULSATING) HOWEVER CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH COMING TO A STOP. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON; HAD IT SEEN BY TOYOTA DEALER - NO PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED WITH DIAGNOSTICS; RECOMMENDED CHANGING BRAKE PADS, WHICH DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM, 2 ADDITIONAL VISITS TO DEALERSHIP - AND AFTER A COST OF OVER $500 TODAY THEY MENTIONED THAT IT WAS THE ACTUATOR AND WOULD TAKE AN ADDITIONAL $3244.50 TO REPLACE. SOONER OR LATER THE BRAKES WERE LIKELY TO FAIL MAKING IT UNSAFE, CALLED TOYOTA BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL OR PROBLEMS WITH THE 2007 CAMRY HYBRID MODELS - BUT THE NHTSA WEBSITE HAS MULTIPLE SIMILAR POSTS. HOPE TO GET SOME MEANINGFUL RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA. WILL COME BACK AND UPDATE AS I HAVE SOME FEEDBACK FROM THE COMPANY. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING CREATING A HIGH GLOSS REFLECTION ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD . THE MELTING DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID THAT STARTED SHOWING "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" ON THE MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY IN EARLY OCTOBER OF 2013. BY THE END OF THAT MOTH IT BECAME A PERMANENT ITEM ON THE DISPLAY. THE COMPUTER INDICATES A C1391 ERROR. AFTER TESTING THE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY WAS DEEMED DEFECTIVE. I HAVE DISCONTINUED DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AFTER AN INCIDENT IN RAINY WEATHER WHILE THE "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" WAS DISPLAYED ON THE MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH IN LIGHT RAIN. TRAFFIC STARTED SLOWING AHEAD SO I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES, BUT THEY DID NOT RESPOND IMMEDIATELY. AFTER AN APPROXIMATELY 2 SECOND DELAY THEY DID RESPOND, BUT IT WAS ABRUPTLY AND CAUSED THE CAR TO START SKIDDING. WITHOUT IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DRIVER INPUT THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN OUT-OF-CONTROL SITUATION. THE CAR HAS REMAINED PARKED SINCE THAT INCIDENT FOR FEAR IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITHOUT FUNCTIONING BRAKES. THE OPERATION OF THE BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE IN AN ABS FAILURE MODE IS DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY. I HAVE DRIVEN PLENTY OF VEHICLES THAT WERE NOT EQUIPPED WITH ABS, AND NONE OF THOSE VEHICLE EVER EXHIBITED THE DANGEROUS BEHAVIORS THIS VEHICLE EXHIBITS WITH A FAILED COMPONENT. SINCE THE BRAKES ON A VEHICLE ARE RELIED UPON IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS ALL COMPONENTS IN THAT SYSTEM SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO FAIL IN A SAFE MANNER LEAVING A VEHICLE THAT IS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE. FURTHER TOYOTA IS AWARE THAT SELECT YEARS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OR FAULTY DESIGN SINCE THE ACTUATOR WAS REDESIGNED A COUPLE YEARS AFTER THIS VEHICLE WAS FIRST INTRODUCED INTO THE MARKET. I ASK THAT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATE THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE MODEL AND YEAR TO DETERMINE THE SAFETY OF THESE VEHICLES DURING AN ABS/VSC COMPONENT FAILURE. *TR
