My husband & I purchased a 07 camry. A few weeks after purchase, husband noticed problems. Transmission was not "acting" right. The car would hesitate for a few seconds when we given gas or sometimes accelerate when we did not; the brakes were bad; & steering column "shook" when we drove over road bumps or speeds > than 50. Over next few months when we took the car in for service & voiced our concerns, the service person would tell us that he could not find anything wrong with the car regarding our concerns & during one visit, they drove the car 18 miles & still could not find anything wrong. One day I was getting on freeway & tried to increase my speed, the car stalled for about 4 seconds, as I looked in rear view mirror I saw another car coming behind me at a really fast speed. I was trying to determining what to do as the car appeared to have actually shut off, when it just surged forward & I was moving again. Needless to say, this scared the crap out of me & I called my husband & told him what happened. I felt that if we did not do something, we could potentially have an accident, get killed or kill someone else. I finally called the corporate office & told them our story. They instructed us to take the car to the service dept for an assessment. After assessment the mechanic told me that my steering column needed to be replaced; my rotors were completely warped; and they may have to overhaul my transmission but were going to try & reset it to see if that would help (apparently it is run by a compt which tells it how fast or slow it to go when the accelerator is pressed) apparently the computer was not functioning properly or had a "glitch." they reset the transmission & told my husband & I to drive an additional 500miles to "break-in" the transmission & let them know our thoughts. Well, we have driven the additional miles & we both feel as if the transmission is slipping again. We are at wits end w/this dangerous $30,000+ car.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. When the contact depressed the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated. Approximately 3-4 seconds later, the vehicle accelerated without warning. The dealer stated that the computer caused the failure and they reprogrammed the computer. However, the failure continued. The contact also stated that when he depressed the brake pedal it extended to the floorboard and the stopping distance increased. The dealer has not inspected the vehicle. The speed was unknown. The failure mileage was 500 and current mileage was 41,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While driving 5 MPH, the contact stated that the gear seemed to be slipping. The dealer assured him that this was normal for the 2007 camry. As his wife pulled into a parking space, she applied the brake and the vehicle surged forward automatically, crashing into a parked vehicle. The contact has experienced this failure twice. The VIN and engine size were unknown. The current and failure mileages were 16,000.
Car hesitates when shifting into a higher gear, it does it around 35 miles per hour. Sometimes it shifts very hard lunging you forward. Sometimes when you put it in reverse it goes into reverse very hard. The brakes continue to squeal, hardware has been replaced twice. The transmission shifting hesitation has occurred over 250 times. I am starting to get nervous driving it I am afraid someone that might be tailgating might hit me in the rear.
Complete loss of acceleration (up to 5 seconds or so) while making turns after having either slowed down, or completely stopped. Two of those times have almost resulted in accidents from oncoming vehicles. Complaint made at a toyota dealership. They claim no recall information, but have indicated that it wasn't the first time they've heard of it. No solution given other than the 800# to call toyota directly to make a complaint. Nice.
I purchased a 2007 toyota camry in may of 2006. After driving the car for a few weeks it was increasingly harder and harder to stop the vehicle. The brake pedal goes very close to the floor to stop the vehicle. I called toyota customer service and they advised me to take the car to my nearest toyota dealer. I went to atlantic toyota in amityville, n.y. And they advised me that they did not find anything wrong. I continue to drive the vehicle and have had other family and friends drive the car as well. They too have experienced the long brake pedal travel and difficulty in stopping the car. I drive with two kids and I do not feel safe in this car. I bought a toyota for its reliability and safety and because of the way the vehicle feels in braking I do not feel safe. I am looking for a vehicle that I paid for and feel safe in. I am a new customer to the toyota brand and purchased the car under the recommendation of family and friends. I have had other vehicles prior to purchasing my toyota like mazda and honda and although they have had their share of problems, when working properly I had always felt safe. I sent a letter to toyota to see if they can make me a happy toyota customer.
