I leased a toyota camry xle 2007 model from patt lobb toyota, mckinney, tx sometime in the last quarter of 2007. I have experienced the problem of sudden acceleration so many times and complained to the dealer three times, first time with in the first week of leasing, and they told it is due to rack and pinion steering which gives me a different feel, second time they blamed on my tires as they don't have enough tread depth and last time they can not replicate the problem. This problem always happened when I accelerate around 60 MPH.
In snowy road, toyota camry 2007 car fails to stop with the brake and it feels like as if something is sticking between brakes. This car have ABS system installed so don't know if it is supposed to behave like that. However my other car which runs on drum brake performs better than the toyota.
When applying brakes, it vibrates strongly, almost violently, at speed above approximately 40 miles/hour. When raining or not. When taken to the dealer, they stated it was normal ABS braking. It does scare me in that I am afraid that it could lead to a major failure in the braking system. It has been a continuous problem although I entered today's date below.
While driving my 2007 toyota camry and exiting off the interstate, I attempted to stop at the bottom of the ramp before turning onto the highway. The brakes were applied but car never came to a complete stop which forced me to enter onto the highway without regard to oncoming traffic. Luckily the right lane was clear and I was able to avoid an accident. The car was taken to the garage that day so they could work on it the next day. The problem was diagnosed as a bad brake booster which would need to be replaced at a cost of approximately $600. The brake failure happened with no warning. The only thing I ever noticed prior to this happening was that sometimes there would be a swooshing sound on the drivers side.
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 dea
We bought 2007 camry in july of 2007. My wife drove it to work and got an accident on 12/5/07. When she exited highway, she used gas then used brake to reduce the speed. The brake did not work. The car sped out of control and hit the side of hill. The car was roll over to one side and totaled. My wife was badly injured and was sent to hospital emergency room. She got some cuts in her head by the broken window and she had to stay at home for about 2 weeks before going back to work.we believed something wrong with the car brake or gas pedal. And when the car hit the side of hill, none of car safety air bags came out. The car was totaled and paid by our insurance. But this accident gave her a long time fear and bad feeling when she passed that place. We hope we can join the toyota class action lawsuit. Please give us some suggestions. Thanks!
Applied brakes as exiting freeway ramp,felt like I was at a stop. The brake pedal then depressed allthe way to the floor and I tapped the car in front of me.. My car sustained minor damage to the front bumper where the hitch met the bumper. No sustained damage to the other vehicle. No reports filed. Damage is still on vehicle ,not repaired.
I own a toyota 2007 camry. I almost ran into a car in front of me when stopping for a light. Coming up to light, while braking I hit a bump and the brake pedal went towards the floor. I release the brake and pressed it again and it worked. Another incident occurred recently while driving down an icy slope. I was braking and there was a horrible grinding or snapping type noise. As I was very scared I would have an accident while this was happening I did not notice if I lost brake pressure. I called the toyota dealership where I purchased the car and explained the above and was told that this was normal with the brakes that are installed on the camry. I am concerned for my family's safety.
2007 toyota camry brakes. When braking, the pedal feels as though it is going through the floor and hitting a dead spot. Car will not brake without pumping the brakes. Car has been serviced 3 times for brake issues. Has had two complete brake jobs (replacements?) but it still has the problem. Toyota said there was a service bulletin issued on the brakes but I was never notified.
I own a 2007 toyota camry which I believe is one of the vehicles that is being recalled because a faulty accelerator pedal. Because of this recall, I was wondering if an accident that my wife had last year was caused by the problem associated with the recall? My wife was driving on a local parkway in stop and go traffic. The weather was clear and dry. My wife was unable to stop the vehicle (traveling at a speed under 25 MPH) and hit the vehicle directly in front of her. My car sustained damage totaling $6,575.79. I wonder if a faulty accelerator was the cause of my wife's accident?
Brakes failed to respond while traveling approx. 40 MPH - brake pressed, went to floor with no response, brake pedal pressed a second time, car still did not decelerate. Abs did not activate. Vehicle is a 2007 toyota camry. Front-end collision, striking vehicle stopped ahead on roadway - airbags did not deploy in camry. Total of 4 cars involved in accident. Camry sustained extensive front-end damage, insurance adjuster estimate at approx. $7800. No serious personal injury involved.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 rav4. The contact stated that the gasoline mileage and the electrical system has malfunctioned since the vehicle was purchased. The right rear wheel sensor that controls the stability, traction, and four wheel drive functions have also failed and caused the warning light to illuminate on the dashboard. The dealer replaced the rear wheel sensor twice and within 48 hours the failure recurred. The third time the rear wheel sensor malfunctioned, the dealer diagnosed the failure for 5 to 6 weeks. The dealer recently replaced the rear wheel sensor and the electric control module and vehicle is functioning normally. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 24,000.
My 2007 camry acceleration has not failed to stop accelerating, but it has been slow to engage. This has made crossing intersections or blending with moving traffic difficult. I have taken the car to the dealer, and they "rebooted" the accelerator mechanism. I have also had an issue with the brakes making terrible noise when backing up. I was told that was just because the car had been setting. I was later told there is a technical bulletin regarding the brakes for the model, but since I am out of the warranty period there is noting I can do but ask for a repair. I was also reassured the noise was not a danger signal, and there was not a safety issue. Based on what I have heard the last few weeks, how can I be certain? When I said I had been driving for 50 years, and have never had a car that made this kind of noise, the dealer representative said "I had been lucky!" note my dates are on or about.
On 26th jan, on the way back home in the evening I was on 105 fwy headed east. The time was around 7:50 pm. The traffic was there since it was a rainy day. I tried to apply brakes on my toyota camry 2007 xle model. I didn't experience the brakes taking effect and the car hit another vehicle at around 20 - 25 miles/hr speed. Now the car is being repaired as we speak. It might take about 10 days to fix it I was told.
My car accelerated when I took my foot off gas pedal to apply brakes. I hit the rear of car in front of me. With my foot still on the brake I hit the car a second time. My car stopped with my foot still on brake. No one was injured. Both shook up. Police officer behind me witnessed accident. It was rush hour on expressway. My car is being repaired.
I own a 2007 toyota camry and when depressing the brake pedal if going over a bumpy road or raised cracks in the street (essentially going from any "smooth" to a sudden "non-smooth" surface) the brake pedal becomes locked, then springs back and forth and the car lurches forward. I took it to the dealership many years ago and they told me I needed new pads. That didn't solve the problem and they've never acknowledged the problem exists.
I bought a 2007 toyota camry new. In april 2008 the steering wheel, front tires and the entire front end began to shake violently when I applied the brakes at speeds above 60 miles per hour. My mechanic said the problem was that the front rotors were warped. I had it fixed. On january 27, 2010 I am experiencing the same problem again. This is serious. Loss of control at speeds above 60 MPH is very dangerous.
Brakes first began to vibrate/shutter when braking at 18,000 miles. Toyota replaced brakes pads and machined the rotors. At approximately 43,000 miles toyota again repaired the brakes for the same problem. At 70,000 miles the rotors exhibit the same symptoms of having warped rotors that will again have to be reworked or replaced. Continuing problem that must be a defect on the vehicle. The vibration and breaking when traveling at higher speeds is increased and feels very dangerous.
Toyotas latest recall should not be a floor mat or stuck accelerator problem. My 2007 camry has experienced this scenerio at least several times a year (even though I know it exists). The problem is the design of the brake pedal and accelerator pedal. The brake pedal (when braking) is closer to the floor than the height of the un-depressed accelerator pedel. If the driver has big feet or is not precise when placing the foot, it is possible to depress both pedals at the same time. The harder one tries to stop, the faster the engine wants to run. In my vehicles from the past, the accelerator pedal, when not depressed, was closer to the floor than the position of the brake pedal during a very hard (emergency) braking action. Toyota's firmware fix of not allowing the accelerator signal to override the braking signal is not a good fix for the problem. Sometimes it is desirable to increase the speed of the engine before releasing the brake to provent rolling backwards when starting on a grade. Paying attention to the ergonomics of how the pedals and the human driver interface and proper engineering design is the solution.
Rear brakes required repair at low mileage despite limited wear on front brakes. Apparently rear brakes are adjusted to handle large amount of braking load which could result in uncontrolled slide.
We bought a 2007 camry le from longo toyota in el monte, ca in april 2006. We have had the front brakes replaced 3 times, the shims replaced once, the rear brakes once and the rotors reglazed or replaced once, the most recent time was in february 2009. Every time we have taken the car to the dealer with our complaint, it was fixed at our cost, and they told us that it was probably the driver who is using the brakes so much to cause the brakes to be replaced so frequently, which isn't the case, and we told them so. The car now has 70,000 miles on it and has an extended warranty. We are concerned that toyota is aware of a possible problem with the braking system and is not publicly acknowledging it. By contrast, we also own a 2004 chevy tahoe, which we bought brand new, now has 100,000+ miles on it and we have needed to replace the front brakes once.
I bought my 2007 black camery from longo toyota in elmonte, ca about less then seven months ago. On august,30,09 my mother and I were driving and when she went to step on the brakes there was little stopping to the brakes we slid and herd a air sound come up from the driver side. Took it into the toyota dealer they said that the brake booster is bad... Can that we should not drive it at all very unsafe. The dealer is saying that it is the customer who need to pay to repair this. Which is almost 2000 to be done, we would like to have deft investigation done, this is not a wear and tear. Thank you
Brakes and rotors need to be replaced at 15,000 miles.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While driving 40 MPH, the contact felt that the vehicle was out of alignment. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they checked the alignment, but found no failures. A few weeks later, he took the vehicle back to the dealer because the failure was worsening. They still could not find any failures. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer a third time because he felt that there was an issue with the brakes. Once again, the dealer found no failures. He took the vehicle to a different mechanic, who stated that the bolts in the rack assembly were loose. The mechanic tightened the rack assembly. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer to inform them that another mechanic was able to locate the failure. Two weeks later, the failure recurred. He filed for the lemon law. The vehicle is still not working properly. The failure mileage was 12 and current mileage was 20,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While driving 55 MPH, the contact depressed the brake pedal and the vehicle veered left and right. The rear passenger side caliper was worn because it was not completely releasing the brake. The dealer went to automotive school; therefore, he did not notify the dealer or a mechanic. The failure occurs in all types of weather. The failure mileage was 21,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While at a stop sign with the brake pedal depressed, the pedal extends to the floorboard. The contact had to remove his foot from the brake pedal in order for it to return to its normal position. The vehicle has been taken to approximately three dealers, but they could not determine the cause of the failure. The contact filed case number 200801100060 with toyota. The current mileage was 12,000 and failure mileage was 6,000. Updated 04/23/08 *bf the consumer stated emergency brake goes all the way to the floor and the dealer stated because of the particular brake system and that was normal. Updated 04/23/08
Brakes clips (shams) have been replaced 2x in less than 35,000 miles. First replacement was at 14,000 miles or so. Vehicle makes loud squealing noise driving at low speeds (5-40mph). At latest repair (march 2008), dealer mechanic stated that they have a service bulletin on them for failure. I am convinced that something is going on with the rotors though---thus affecting the brake pads, shams, etc. Dealer mechanic claims that the clips/shams are of poor quality and that's why they keep failing. I asked what happens if they fail again (I'll be over my warranty)--he stated that I will have to pay for them then. Wow--how nice to have a defective part replaced 2x under warranty, and then toyota is scott-free if it happens a 3rd time now.
While car was in for routine 25k service, dealer advised I needed rear brake pads. Have since been advised by two mechanics that indicates there's a problem. Dealer has since advised a tsb was issued for this year/model vehicle.
I purchased a 2007 toyota camry in march 2006. This new vehicle had several defects including the replacement of a dash by the dealer after delivery. The quality of the brake rotors on this vehicle are unsatisfactory. I have had the rotors replaced five times. The vehicle has approx. 46,000 miles. I have had two independent repair shops evaluate the factory rotors and they both come to the same conclusion, poor quality rotors. It's not how the vehicle is being operated since we are not causing anything that would cause these rotors to warp the way they do. We do not drive our vehicles hard, just to cause more maintenance expenses. Toyota has paid for replacing the rotors once. They have also charged me twice for the same work and I have paid twice to another auto shop. I tried to file a complaint through toyota and that was useless. I will never purchase a toyota vehicle again. Real sad how they were handling my complaint.
