2007 toyota camry. Consumer states vehicle has a very loud screech from the rear brake on the passenger side *tgw the dealer informed the consumer there was trash on the brake shoe and it would eventually wear off. The consumer stated it has been 4 1/2 years and the noise is still present.
I owned a 2007 camry le. On 3/05/11 my brakes failed while on the highway. I careened across the highway and then the car started flipping. The car flipped at least 3 times before hitting an exit sign. The exit sign then pierced the roof of the car and landed between my legs. Thank god I wasn't seriously hurt. But through all the flipping across the concrete, my airbags did not deploy. My complaint is brake failure and lack of airbag deployment.
S10 appropriate handling- letter to the secretary from regarding concerns about toyota safety *tgw the consumer stated the accelerator and brake pedal were designed too close together.
Drove slowly at around 25mph in a very cold day (16 degree). When I stepped on the brake to stop the car the brake was in a locked position (can't pressed it down) and my car hit the car in front and there was nothing else I could do.
Toyota camry 2007 - persistent vibration steering at highway speed - not being resolved by a series of attempts such as balancing, tire replacement, alignment, brake component replacement. The steering vibration was part of a toyota service bulletin but despite the specific instruction on how to fix the problem, the vibration was never eliminated. 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.
: my toyota 2007 subject : brake master cylinder make / model years : camry you have listed the 2004-2006 models but I took my 2007 to the conyers, georgia, dealership for maintenance and this is the exact same defect they wanted me to pay for. I didn't have the money so they told me to just keep the brake fluid full. I need you to cover this replacement charges for my brake master cylinder. Their finding is also documented in the computer for that repair assessment, at the shop for that maintenance visit. I also was given a copy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I have a camry 2007 xle with 36k miles. I started noticing some brake pulsation when brakes applied at high speeds, over 60 miles per hour, specially on downhills. This sensation started appearing at around 34k miles. The steering did not vibrate at that time. I took the car for service for its 35k miles. Two days after the car was serviced I had a long drive and started noticing steering wheel vibration, some times more vibration than others. All when brakes applied at over 60 MPH when applying brakes moderately to strongly. I called the dealer and I said that the car started vibrating after service. He said, they don't remove brakes or rotors when they do minor service to the car. I asked what the problem might be and he said that the rotors might be warped. They would perform a rotor resurfacing and possibly pads replacement, despite the pads looked over 7mm, quite new for replacement. I have read a lot of camry complaints with warped rotors. The dealer said rotors cannot be replaced under warranty because the 3 year warranty has expired. I am upset because rotors should be not warped at 36k miles and specially when pads look in pretty good shape. Estimated job would be around $260.the car feels unsafe when breaking now. Toyota should look at this quality issues and offer replacement.
Twice in 24 hours, right after I had routine maintenance performed at the dealership, when I stepped on the brake of my 2007 toyota camry le the ABS kicked in. I brought it back to toyota but they cannot find the problem. I rode with the technician but could not duplicate the problem. This situation is dangerous and frightening.
Car was in reverse in a parking lot. Applied brakes but with no response. Car continued to move and hit another in the parking lot. This was the first time this happened. Contacted dealer and will take it in this friday 7/9/2010.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The vehicle was previously serviced for the recalls associated with the federal safety agency campaign id number 09v388000 and 10v017000, vehicle speed control, accelerator pedal. Upon receiving the vehicle from an authorized dealer the contact stated that he felt the vehicle vibrating while driving approximately 35 MPH and the vibrations got more violent when pressure was applied to the brakes. The vehicle would also began to move to the left and right while pressure was applied to the brakes. The vehicle was taken back to the authorized dealer who stated that the failures were normal while the vehicle was adapting to its new computer. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure continued to recur. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer again who stated that the brakes needed to be replaced. The failure and current mileages were 90,600.
On april 27, 2010, I was backing out of a parking space. I usually back out of a parking space very slowly so that I can stop at anytime. After I had cleared the parking space and before I could exchange gears, the car (2007 toyota camry) kept on reversing. I put my foot on the brake but the car did not stop. It stopped when it hit a van which was adjacent to a police car. Luckily the police officer witnessed the entire accident. When the police officer approached my car he stated that "I thought you were going to hit me." I replied by saying "my car would not stop; I could stop the car." I informed the police officer that when I put my foot on the brake, the car continued to accelerate. The police report indicates that there was a problem with the acceleration. This statement is also want the mechanic said when he put the car in reverse to work on the car.
Warped rotors on 2007 camry at approx. 13,000, again at around 50,000 miles and again at 68,000 miles. Repaired under warranty first time, I paid the second time, and toyota says I must pay again the third time. Are others having similar problems with the braking system? Toyota ref. Number is [xxx] ref number with toyota is [xxx] on 6/22/10. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While driving at 30 MPH, the contact stated that it was very difficult to get the vehicle to come to a complete stop. She had to re-adjust her seat to be able to engage the brakes. The contact inspected under the hood and noticed that a bolt had dislodged from the engine mount and had punctured two of the brake lines. The vehicle was at the dealership at the time of the complaint where the brake lines were being replaced. The current and failure mileages were 53,035.
While driving the car at approximately 30mph, when I pressed the brake pedal, the car would not stop. The gas pedal got stuck. I put the car in neutral and pressed the power button. When I restarted the car, the brakes and gas pedal worked appropriately.
Rear disc rotor and pads failed at 49,500 miles, when the front brakes still have about 60% remaining. It is unexpected at this mileage, to need repair/replacement of brakes on the rear. It most likely would not be found/repaired causing insufficient braking and improper handling in an emergency stopping situation. We were fortunate that we requested our brakes be checked by our local repair facility. Car had been at dealership 04/05/2010 without mention of brakes needing attention.

I was driving for work with my toyota camry 2007. While accelerating to get on the highway, around the end of the ramp, my vehicle suddenly accelerated with no controls working from the driver's seat either for the steering wheel or the brake. In a matter of a few seconds, the vehicle went a few times in a zig-zag manner and subsequently hit a semi-trailer which was southbound on the highway. My car was completely smashed in the front and totaled later. This incident occurred after my car went through the accelerator pedal replacement as per recommendation of the toyota recall procedure. I could have been easily killed in this accident. I got a traffic ticket for the first time in my life after having a ticket-free driving record for the past 11+ years. I am pleading 'not guilty' for this ticket because the defective toyota car was responsible for the accident and not my error.
2007 toyota camry. Consumer states problem with ABS brake system. *tgw the consumer stated he was in driving in high speed traffic in the left lane, following a safe distance traveling about 65 MPH when a car from the right lane suddenly cut in front of him. He applied the brakes in a panic stop, but the vehicle instantly spun around to the right barely missing another car in the right lane and headed for a group of trees off the grassy right hand shoulder of the road. He was able to gain control by releasing the brake and steering out of the spin. But, he overcorrected and crossed the high speed traffic again, and almost t-boned another vehicle and ended up in a ditch in the median of the highway. The consumer stated he did not steer into the spin, he kept the steering wheel straight and jammed on the brakes in an absolutely necessary panic stop. The right front wheel instantly and totally locked up; there was a cloud of blue smoke coming from the right wheel and the vehicle pivoted on that wheel and headed toward the right shoulder. The consumer stated the problem was due to a failure with the ABS and not a steering problem. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, but they were unable to find a problem with the ABS.
My 2007 toyota camry accelerated on its own. Brakes were applied and it would not stop my car. I then struck the car ahead of me.

My car is a 2007 camry xlev6, and was not listed as part of the toyota recall (it has locking mats). Pulled into driveway at my home, with foot on brakes as I touched auto garage door opener on visor. Car gear was in d. As I removed foot from brake to gas pedal to pull into garage, and lightly placed foot on accelerator, instantaneously engine revved, pedal went to floor, tach zoomed and auto jetted into garage. I immediately hit brakes with both feet, attempting to disengage transmission from d and put into n. Gear shift erratically plunged into r and car began to go backwards with engine throttle wide open. Again, with tires squealing, smoking & laying rubber, I tried to jam gearshift to n or p, and car jettisoned forward hitting garage wall at full force. With millisecond recovery, I held onto gearshift ' all the time my feet were on brakes ' again tried to force it into p, and it again went to r, (must pass n and r to get gear into p) then again forward in another direct hit against garage wall, breaking the wall open and splitting sheetrock as auto nearly popped through to laundry room and gas furnace. I held the push-button in while simultaneously forcing gear shift again to reach p. Engine went from full-bore open to a stop. This event was so frightening. Had it occurred minutes earlier I was in commute traffic and in residential area returning home from metro. Pedestrians and schoolkids were in the area. I exited car to run into house, call for help. Damage to garage wall (and laundry area) is substantial, but was minimized to the auto due to a set of four tires against the garage wall which provided some cushion. Bluetooth phone (hands-free car) would not disconnect. I borrowed neighbor's phone to call husband and police/fire. Emergency firetruck team arrived to ensure no gas line break, fairfax police officer also on site. After repeated attempts & long wait times to talk with toyota, I was told not to move car, wait 10-30 days to investigate. Here sits.
I have a 2007 japanese-made camry. I bought at a premium (well above invoice and above msrp because servco hawaii does not give discounts) thinking I was paying for a reliable and well-made vehicle. I have had other toyotas but none with as many problems as this vehicle. And, with all the news of accelerator problems, I would like my problems checked and not be charged for it. I do not like the idea of having to pay $103 (1hr labor) x 3 different accelerator issues + another $103 to see why there is the smell of gasoline coming from the A/C vent. 1. When stepping on the accelerator, I will get no response... I continue to depress the gas, still no response. Then finally, the car will thrust forward violently. This has been mentioned to toyota hawaii dealer several times saying it was normal for drive by wire vehicle and that it will take some getting used to. 2. When accelerating slowly, the car will rev high without the automatic transmission upshifting.. I have to depress the gas more and the car will rev even higher before upshifting. 3. On 2 different times, the car has revved and jumped forward while not in gear. The first time was at an intersection. I shifted into neutral with the p-brake on and it felt as if someone hit my car from the rear. The car jumped into the busy crosswalk about 2 feet until I hit the brake pedal and shifted it back into drive. Another time was at the drive-thru window in park. The car didn't move but jerked violently. Both were on flat surfaces. 4. When under heavy acceleration, the car sometimes give off the smell of gasoline. It is not exhaust fumes but smells of raw gasoline. A/c in recirculate mode. I also have been having numerous other quality problems with excessive rattling of trim and door ajar alarm going off for no reason.
The car lost control for no reason, could not brake and got totalled.
