I PURCHASED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY FROM LEITH TOYOTA IN RALEIGH NC, DECEMBER OF 2006. LAST WEEK MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FELL WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK. WITHIN A FEW DAYS THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR POPPED OUT OF PLACE AND NOW IT WILL NOT STAY UP. I TALKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAY THAT IT WILL COST $200.00 OR MORE TO REPLACE BOTH. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND TO MY SURPRISE I FOUND THAT MANY MORE TOYOTA CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THE VISOR CLIPS ARE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE PART(S) IN THESE VISORS. EVEN THE TECHNICIAN ADMITTED THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO REPAIR HUNDREDS OF THESE. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT I CAN COUNT ON TOYOTA TO FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR ME AT NO CHARGE, BUT I AM GETTING NO WHERE WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL TOYOTA CUSTOMER FOR THE PAST 20 OR MORE YEARS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR EVEN DEATH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING AND THE SURFACE BECAME VERY STICKY AND SHINY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

I TOOK MY 2007 CAMRY FOR 25,000 (AT 23,000) MILES SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES. I QUESTIONED IT AND WAS TOLD 'YOU HAVE TO TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY, TOO' I TAKE MY CAR IN CONSISTENTLY DO PRETTY MUCH WHAT IS SUGGESTED TO ME AS PART OF PREVENTIVE CARE AND I HAVE ALL THE BILLS TO PROVE IT, MENTIONED THIS TO THE SERVICE PERSON, AND TALKED TO MANAGER AND WAS TOLD THAT YES I NEEDED THE NEW TIRES. THIS WAS "NORMAL" WEAR AND TEAR. I SURE WAS NOT READY FOR SUCH A LARGE EXPENSE. AS I WAS RESEARCHING FOR WHAT KIND OF TIRES TO BUY, I FOUND THAT MANY 2007 CAMRY OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM! ALSO I FOUND THAT THERE IS A LEAKAGE PROBLEM WITH THE BRIDGESTONE TIRES, AND CHECKING MY SERVICE BILLS, I SEE THAT I HAD TAKEN MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE PRESSURE LIGHTS CHECKED, BECAUSE I WOULD ADD AIR TO MY TIRES AND FEW WEEKS AFTER I WOULD HAVE THE LIGHT COME ON AGAIN. ALL THIS IS DOCUMENTED AND NOW I AM FURIOUS THAT I WAS NOT TOLD OF THIS PROBLEM. THANKFULLY, I AM NOT ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING ANT 55+ MILES AN HOUR, AS I WORK NEAR MY HOME. I HATE TO THINK OF THE OUTCOME. WHEN I HAVE TAKEN MY SON BACK TO SCHOOL, IS WHEN THE PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD COME ON MOST OFTEN. NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE! SINCE I TOOK THE CAR IN, THE PRESSURE LIGHTS HAVE NOT COME ON, I NOW WONDER IF THAT OPTION HAS BEEN DISABLED? OBVIOUSLY, I HAVE NOT YET CHANGED THE TIRES, AS IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO BUY ALL FOUR AT THE SAME TIME. I WAS HOPPING THE DEALER WOULD GIVE ME A BREAK. *TR

Vehicle runs low of engine oil quickly. I've gotten oil changes by dealer and always explain i have to purchase oil every 3 weeks to top off. Was told its a leak but I never see oil on the ground where I park.Its been like this since I've purchased the vehicle. The headlights are not bright no matter if i change the bulb or the actual headlight

THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE SHIFTED GEARS BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND UNTIL HE APPLIED EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE FAILURE BEGAN TO RECUR INTERMITTENTLY SO THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD ERRATICALLY SHIFT GEARS WHILE ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IT IS STICKY AND CANNOT BE UNDONE. BITS COME OFF IN FINGERNAILS WHEN THEY STRIKE DASHBOARD IN ERROR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES AND NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY TURNED RIGHT. SECONDS LATER, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 81,000.

A FEW WEEKS AGO I STARTED TO NOTICE A "CLUNKING NOISE" WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE THE CAR IS STANDING STILL OR MOVING SLOWLY, LIKE BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY OR TURNING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY, PARKING LOT, ETC.... I FINALLY HAD TIME TO LOOK IT UP ONLINE AND SEE IF I COULD FIND ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND OF COURSE I DID. APPARENTLY IT DATES BACK TO THE '04-'06 CAMRY AND A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. THERE WAS A TSB ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE EARLIER ISSUE, BUT NONE SO FAR FOR THE '07. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND FROM READING THE FORUMS IT APPEARS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.

DRIVER'S SUNVISOR SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING FELL DOWN HINDERING MY VISION WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD TO PUSH IT UP IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID CRASHING INTO A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS UNABLE TO KEEP THE VISOR UP AND HAD TO DRIVE HOME HOLDING IT WITH ONE OF MY HANDS. I REMOVED THE VISOR FOR SAFETY AND HAVE NOT REPLACED IT YET. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND HAVE DETERMINED THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THE VISOR COMING DOWN AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GO BACK UP AND STAY IN PLACE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED WITH EXTREME PRESSURE AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN. THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE KEY LESS IGNITION AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE DEALER WAS INFORMED ABOUT THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 78144. UPDATED 12/23/10*LJ THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THEY DID PERFORM AN UPDATE AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. UPDATED 01/04/11.*JB

I PURCHASED THE CAMRY BACK IN 2010. CAR WAS GREAT, LOOKED GREAT. DASH LOOKED GOOD, OR AT LEAST I THOUGHT THE DEALERS DETAILER MADE IT LOOK GOOD. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, NOTICED THE DASH WAS INCREDIBLY STICKY. TOOK IT TO BACK TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE DASHBOARD, AND IT WAS OUT OF MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. TOOK IT TO TOYOTA DEALER TOO AND THEY SAID TOYOTA WOULD NOT COVER EITHER. THE DASH IS INCREDIBLY STICKY, LIKE THE GLUE THAT TOYOTA USED TO GLUE THE TOP MATERIAL DOWN ON THE DASH IS SEEPING THROUGH THE TOP LAYER. THE GLUE CREATES AN INCREDIBLE GLARE WHEN DRIVING, WHICH CAN BE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS DURING SUNNY DAYS AS IT MAKES THINGS HARD TO SEE UNLESS YOU'RE WEARING A PAIR OF SUNGLASSES, AND EVEN SO THE GLARE IS STILL THERE. THE GLUE ALSO MAKES THINGS STICK TO THE DASH, MAKING IT INCREDIBLY HARD TO CLEAN AS WELL, WHICH CAN ALSO SHOW UP ON THE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. I'VE NEVER USED ANY GREASY, OR OILY PRODUCTS TO CLEAN MY DASH AS I WAS WORRIED ABOUT MAKING THE GLUE/GLARE PROBLEM EVEN WORSE. I'M TEMPTED TO EITHER BUY A DASH COVER, WHICH IRONICALLY WILL STICK TO THE DASHBOARD, OR TINT MY WINDSHIELD TO KEEP THE GLARE DOWN. IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING TOYOTA CHEAPED OUT ON THE MATERIAL USED IN THE DASH, THAT'S GOING TO HURT RESALE VALUE FOR ALL CAMRYS WITH THE ISSUE DOWN THE ROAD, AND CAN CREATE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS IF THE GLARE IS BAD ENOUGH FOR SOME PEOPLE. I MODERATE A TOYOTA FORUM AND I SEE THIS EXACT ISSUE POP UP A LOT. I'VE INCLUDED A FEW LINKS FOR REFERENCE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO SWITCH LANES. I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME IN THE REAR AND THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT FRONTAL DAMAGE TO MY CAR. MY BODY WAS STOPPED BY THE IMPACT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I AM NOW SORE IN MY NECK AND BACK REGION. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE AND DOES NOT STAY UP, BLOCKING DRIVER VIABILITY AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

CHECK VSC SYSTEM WARNING, ABS, MULTI LIGHTS ON. WHEN BUZZ SOUND CONTINUALLY ARMS, IT IS SO HARD TO APPLY BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP COMPLETELY. THE BRAKES ARE OUT OF CONTROL. IT IS A DEFECT FROM MANUFACTURE, NOT A USING CONSUMER. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS SO IMPORTANT WHEN MOVING. PLEASE RECALL TO FIX BEFORE CAUSING DEATHLY ACCIDENT. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. IN SEPTEMBER 2010, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF A MECHANICAL DEFECT AND/OR FAILURE OF SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE. THE ACCIDENT WAS NOT THE RESULT OF HUMAN ERROR. UPON MY APPROACHING A PARKING SPACE, THE CAR LUNGED AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE CAR CRASHED INTO A BUILDING, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE. THERE WERE NO PERSONAL INJURIES. I FILED A CLAIM WITH TOYOTA. I REQUESTED INSPECTIONS OF THE VEHICLE FROM NOT ONLY TOYOTA, BUT ALSO FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY. TOYOTA DENIED RESPONSIBILITY BASED ON THE ERRONEOUS INFORMATION FROM THE COMPUTER "BLACK BOX." THE BODY WORK ON MY CAR WAS JUST COMPLETED. I NO LONGER HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE SAFETY OF MY CAR. I FEAR THAT THE VEHICLE COULD MALFUNCTION AGAIN, RESULTING IN A WORSE SCENARIO THAN THE ACCIDENT IN SEPTEMBER 2010. BEFORE MORE FATALITIES, INJURIES OR PROPERTY DAMAGES OCCUR AS THE RESULT OF MECHANICAL DEFECTS AND/OR FAILURE OF SYSTEMS IN TOYOTA VEHICLES, THE NHTSA SHOULD THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST TOYOTA VEHICLES THAT HAVE A HISTORY OF PROBLEMS. TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT MY CAR BE REPLACED BY TOYOTA. I DON'T DOUBT HOW TOYOTA WILL RESPOND TO MY REQUEST. THEY WILL HOLD TRUE IN THEIR DENIAL OF RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR CONTINUED TO FALL FROM ITS HOUSING AND BLOCK THE CONTACTS VISION OF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PROGRESSIVELY BECAME WORSE OVER TIME. THE CONTACT HAD TO PLACE TAPE ON THE SUN VISOR IN ORDER TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE INTERNAL CLIP WAS WORN OUT AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. UPDATED 05/26/11 *BF UPDATED 05/31/11

I HAVE HAD MY FRONT ROTORS RESURFACED DUE WARPAGE ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS (9/2010 & 9/2012-80K). THE ISSUE CAN BE SEEN PRIMARILY WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THEN SLOWING DOWN TO GET ON OFF RAMP, WHERE CAR WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY TO THE POINT OF STEERING WHEEL SHAKING OUT OF YOUR HAND WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. OTHER TIMES STEERING WOULD VISIBLY SHAKE, BUT NOT TO THE POINT OF SHAKING OUT OF YOUR HAND, WHEN TRAVELING IN TOWN AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN STOPPING AT STOP LIGHTS. *TR

THE BRAKES SHAKES EXCESSIVELY WHEN BRAKING AT SPEEDS AROUND 60 - 70 MPH. SHAKING TRANSMITS TO STEERING WHEEL IF FRONT ROTORS WARP AND SOMETIMES SHAKE BODY OF CAR IF REAR BRAKES WARP. SHAVING ROTORS FIXES THE PROBLEM EVERYTIME. OCCURS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 30,000 MILES. THESE ROTORS WARP VERY EASILY. THEY ARE TOO THIN OR OF BI-METALLIC CONSTRUCTION WHICH CAN CAUSE DIFFERENTIAL GROWTH OF METAL, THUS WARPING ROTORS UNDER HIGH HEAT LOADS. BESIDES KEEP CUTTING INTO YOUR EXPENSIVE ROTORS, ONLY SOLUTION IS TO GO AFTERMARKET. NEW TOYOTA ROTORS WILL BE MADE THE SAME AND WILL WARP THE SAME. HIGH PERFORMANCE ROTORS WILL WORK EVEN BETTER. BUT HOLES AND SLOTS WILL BE HARD TO SHAVE LOCALLY. IT IS USUALLY FRONT ROTORS THAT WARP FIRST, BUT IT CAN BE BACK ROTORS AT TIMES ALSO. EVERYTIME YOU SHAVE THEM, THEY GET THINNER AND WARP EASIER THE NEXT TIME (LESS HEAT DISSIPATION CAPABILITY). ONLY PERMANENT FIX IS AFTERMARKET ROTORS. I AM AN EX-MECHANIC AND CURRENT MECHANICAL ENGINEER. *TR

PASSENGER SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP. IT DROOPS AND OBSCURE VISIBILITY. I HAVE TO EITHER FOLD IT TO LEFT WINDOW SIDE OR HOLD IT WHILE DRIVING. *TR

CAR ACCIDENT - CAR CRASHED INTO MEDIUM ON LAKE SHORE DRIVE ON EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND APPLIED BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN AS THE TURN WAS BEING MADE AND THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN BUT SPED UP - WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE TOTALLY - THE CAR ACTUALLY SPED UP AND HIT THE MEDIUM. THE ONLY WAY THE CAR STOPPED WAS IT WAS JAMMED INTO PARK. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND STATE FARM INSURANCE DEEMED TO TOTAL THE VEHICLE BASED ON THE AMOUNT IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT A MONTH AGO HAD TWO VISORS FELL DOWN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPRINGS THAT HOLD THEM SNAPPED OFF THE SAME DAY. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL DOWN AND IS BEING HELD UP BY TAPE. I WENT IN TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID SORRY IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY YOU HAVE TO PAY $240.00 FOR TWO VISORS. I AM FURIOUS AS I HAVE BEEN READING TO MANY COMPLAINTS THAT THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY RECALL AS IT OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. NO ONE IS RECALLING THESE AS A ROAD HAZARD. IT CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH IF FALLEN WHILE DRIVING AND OBSTRUCTS VIEW LIKE IT DID ME. I HAD TO HOLD IT UP WITH MY FINGERS WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IF IT WERE MAYBE 2-6 I CAN SEE DOING IT YOURSELF BUT HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS I SEE ON LINE AND FILED MY QUESTION IS WHY HAVE YOU WAITED SO LONG TO FIND TOYOTA AT FAULT FOR FAULTY PARTS? HOW IS IT THAT HUNDREDS OF THESE FOR THE 2007 HAVE BROKE AROUND THE SAME TIME FRAME ALL OUT OF WARRANTY BUT ENOUGH TO CAUSE GREAT CONCERN.... THIS TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED AT TOYOTAS EXPENSE. I AM OUTRAGED THAT YOU HAVE NOT MADE THIS A RECALL FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FILED. WE TRUST IN YOU TO PROTECT US WHY HAVE YOU NOT DONE THIS FOR US? *TR

LATELY, VEHICLE ALSO SHOWING VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING - ALSO AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BRAKE REPAIRED AT DEALER WITHOUT RESULTS. TOYOTA DEALER HAS PROVIDED NO FURTHER RESOLUTION OPTION. THE CONCERN IS IF THIS IS A RESULT OF THE ORIGINAL STEERING VIBRATION WITH THE VEHICLE SHOWING FURTHER DETERIORATION. *TR

SUN VISOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. IT HANGS DOWN ABOUT 1-2 INCHES FROM IT'S ORIGINAL "UP" POSITION.

I BOUGHT A 2007 CAMRY HYBRID FROM AUTOLAND (SPRINGFIELD, NJ) IN 2007, VIN [XXX]. RECENTLY I WAS IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT (AUGUST 25, 2010) IN WHICH I HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT SPEED OF THE IMPACT BUT I WOULD ESTIMATE IT WAS 25-35 MPH. THE RESULTING IMPACT RESULTED IN A TOTAL WRECK OF THE CAR (PHOTOS AVAILABLE). HOWEVER, THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY DESPITE THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT BEING SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH TO TOTAL THE CAR. I WAS INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT, WITH INJURIES WHICH INCLUDE A CUT ON THE FOREHEAD FROM HITTING THE WINDSHIELD AND NECK SORENESS. THE CAR WAS RECENTLY SERVICED BY TOYOTA, SO TEH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE OPERATED PROPERLY. RECORDS AVAILABLE FROM THE DEALER. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN MY CAR. NO ONE ELSE WAS INJURED. MY INSURANCE COMPANY SUGGESTED I CONTACT TOYOTA, I HAD A VERY HARD TIME REACHING THEM AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A EMAIL OR WEB BASED WAY OF FILING THESE ISSUES. WHEN I FINALLY SPOLE TO A REPRESENTATIVE, THEY CLAIMED THAT THE ARIBAG FUNCTIONED AS DESIGNED. APPARENTLY THE RATE OF DECELERATION IS FACTORED INTO DECISION TO DEPLOY. I WAS BREAKING FOR ABOUT ONE SECOND WHEN I HIT AND DESPITE MY VELOCITY AT IMPACT ( 25 TO 35 MP) , THE FACT THAT I WAS SLOWING DOWN WAS A DECISION FACTOR NOT TO DEPLOY. I AM AN ENGINEER AND QUITE FRANKLY I AM SURPRISED WITH THIS CRITERION FOR DEPLOYMENT. THE PERSON ON THE PHONE AT TOYOTA COULD NOT ELABORATE FURTHER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES A BRIEF LOSS OF BRAKING, PARTICULARLY WHEN BRAKING SYSTEM IS BEING APPLIED BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT ROAD SURFACES (SMOOTH TEXTURED TO AN ABRUPT CHANGE SUCH AS A BUMP IN THE ASPHALT). *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY DRIVER'S SIDE SUNVISOR DROOPS - ALL OF A SUDDEN MY SUNVISOR DROOPS AND OBSCURES MY VISION WHILE DRIVING; SEEMS LIKE POOR WORKMANSHIP FOR IT TO FAIL. *TR

I HAD A WEIRD SYSTEM LOCKUP (MAY BE ABS LOCKUP)/SHUTDOWN ISSUE WHEN DRIVING THE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY (RECALL SERVICE DONE ALREADY). I WAS DRIVING THE CAR SLOWLY AND TOOK EXIT (20-30 MPH SPEED) FROM NJ-TURNPIKE AND HEARD A STRANGE SOUND AND THE CAR RAN LOOSE SO I APPLIED A LITTLE BRAKE AS IT WAS ON A TURN (EXIT). THE CAR SUDDENLY LOCKED UP AND SPUN AROUND AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. AND THE DRIVER SIDE BACK TIRE HIT ON A CURB AND HALTED IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I CALLED UP COPS AND DIDN'T SWITCH OFF THE IGNITION. THEN COPS HELPED ME TO TAKE THE CAR THRU THE EXIT AND IT WAS RUNNING NORMALLY AFTER THAT. BUT I AM HEARING SOME OOZING SOUND WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING 40-50 MPH AND > 60 MPH SPEED FROM THERE ON. I WENT TO DEALER/SERVICE AND THEY ARE NOT GIVING ANY CLUE, AND SAID NO ISSUES WITH DIAGNOSIS. I'VE GIVEN THE CAR AGAIN TODAY AS THEY WERE NOT HAVING THE TIME TO DO THE TEST DRIVE YESTERDAY TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE STRANGE SOUND IS. THE INCIDENT WAS SCARY AND COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL/CRASH. IT WAS VERY LUCKY TO ESCAPE WITHOUT ANY INJURY OR CAR DAMAGES AS THERE WAS NO CAR/TRUCK BEHIND ME FOR FEW SECONDS. MY WIFE WAS SHOCKED TO SEE IT HAPPENED AS WE WERE TRAVELLING WITH OUR 18 MONTHS OLD KID. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN THE FOLDED UP POSITION AND OBSCURES FORWARD VISION. IT WAS PULLED DOWN TO HOLD UP AN ACCORDION STYLE SUNSHADE IN THE WINDSHIELD AND WOULD NOT FOLD BACK UP. THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED YET. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. INITIALLY WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED ON THE BRAKE LIGHT, AND ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON ALONG WITH THE TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER WOULD BEGIN RACING WHILE IN PARK. AT THIS TIME THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM WOULD GO DOWN TO "C" THIS HAPPENED HALF A DOZEN TIMES AND IT WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA DEALERS. I SPENT 618.00 FOR REPAIRS AND I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS FIXED. TOYOTA DEALER ALSO STATED I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEMS. AFTER SPENDING MONEY FOR REPAIRS WITHIN 24 HOURS THE PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN. NOW THIS TIME NOT ONLY WHEN YOU WERE IN PARK WOULD THE LIGHTS COME ON THE BEGAN COMING ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. SO I COULD NOT TELL WHAT SPEEDS I WAS DOING AND UNABLE TO TELL IF I HAD BRAKES WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON. SO IT WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND THIS TIME THEY WANT TO REPLACE SKID CONTROL ECU/ACTUATOR PER TECH LINE AND WANT ME TO SPEND OVER 2000.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A BILL OF SALE THAT STATES PROBLEM WAS FIXED JUST DAYS BEFORE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED HE NOTICED FLUID LEAKING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR DROPPED DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY AND WOULDN'T STAY UP UNLESS SUPPORTED. VERY SCARY TO HAVE THE SUN VISOR DROP DOWN AND BLOCK ONES VISION UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IF IT OCCURS AT THE WRONG TIME. AN INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. RECALL IS IN ORDER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS REALLY HURT OR KILLED.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REPAIRED. THE DEALER CUT THE LENGTH OF THE PEDAL. THE PEDAL WAS TOO SHORT AND HE WAS UNABLE TO REACH IT. THE ONLY WAY SHE WAS ABLE TO ENGAGE THE PEDAL WAS IF HER FOOT REMAINED ELEVATED INSTEAD OF HAVING HER HEEL ON THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO FIX THE PEDAL. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 32300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE ABNORMALLY WHEN DRIVING 45 MPH.

THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 128,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL DOWN. IT WAS HANGING ALREADY, BUT NOW IT JUST DROOPS IN THE SIGHTS MAKING IT HARD FOR ME TO SEE TRAFFIC.

DASH GETS STICKY IN THE HOT WEATHER, WHEN IT IS OUT IN THE SUN OR IN THE GARAGE. *TR

AT ABOUT 75000 MILES MY CAMRY STARTED BURNING 1+ QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. NOW AT 84000 MILES IT IS BURNING 1.5+ QUARTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. WITH THIS INCREASED EXCESSIVE BURN RATE THE CAR MUST NOW BE MONITORED REGULARLY TO PREVENT ENGINE FROM RUNNING OUT OIL AND CEASING UP THE ENGINE. FROM DISCUSSIONS ON SEVERAL WEBSITES THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WHICH EFFECTS A LOT OF CAMRYS AND WHICH TOYOTA REFUSES TO CORRECT. THEY STATE A QUART BURNED IN 1200 MILES IS NORMAL WHICH IS A REALLY STUPID THING TO SAY. TOYOTA ONCE AGAIN IS FAILING TO STEP UP TO OWNING THE PROBLEM. ALSO, AS ALL THESE ENGINES ARE NEEDLESSLY BURNING THOUSANDS OF QUARTS OF OIL DUE TO LOW RELIABILITY PARTS, WE ARE VERY MUCH CREATING A LOT OF AIR POLLUTION. I WONDER WHAT THE EPA THINKS OF THIS? *KB
