Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH, the engine light illuminated and there was a knocking sound while braking.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.
For several months, car steering wheel, and at times, car as a whole vibrates; then, upon driving around corner, going only 25 MPH on 07/11/2013, suddenly, speedometer, RPM gauge, oil gauge all began jumping erratically, all at times going to zero, then the ABS and brakes lights came on. (just had oil change done 3 weeks ago, with tire rotation of brand new tires (first rotation), and all 4 brakes pads replaced 2 weeks ago.). Happened for few seconds, was aware, but didn't think about it anymore. Next day, driving only 40mph, same thing again, but also this time, speedometer went and stayed at 0, as well as RPM and oil the same way, and car felt like it was going to fall apart underneath. I pulled off road, checked book, and said to go right to dealer. Went to an advanced auto store for diagnosis. Battery checked out good, thought was possibly the alternator may need replacing, though check pretty normal. Same day, drove to auto repair where they know me, and they wanted 235.00 to order a part to fix the ABS system. Said it would cost me 825.00 there, versus about 2000.00 at dealer. This was all after their diagnosis that battery and alternator appeared fine. They told me this is very serious, life/death situ. They said if someone pulled out in front of me, my car would probably not stop, only skid/slide. Later that day, on a stretch of road near home, I tried driving about 45-50mph, and then braked suddenly to see what it would do.(did this 4x). It did not stop suddenly, but skidded/slid to a stop, and underneath, it sounded as if car was going to fall apart! All kinds of noises! Had alternator replaced 2 days ago, but is still happening; even driving on interstate yesterday, speedometer went to zero twice, gauges all erratic. Was supposed to drive to mi from fl today, but don't even feel safe locally! Online, have found many with same problems (2007 camry)!
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry le. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH the ABS and brake warning indicators illuminated and the instrument panel displayed zero. In addition, while driving, the vehicle began to vibrate and the failure recurred sporadically. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis.

The approximate failure mileage was 128,300.
Front brake rotor, right side only, warped, I have replaced the rotor, now when I apply the brakes I get an extreme vibration on the front right side. I have looked at the webb ,car complaints .com, and found this condition on several other toyota camry's . I called the local dealer and they stated there were no recalls or service bulletin's on this subject. I have e-mailed toyota (last week) and have not had a response. I am not asking for any warranty or anything free. I just want to know what is wrong with the brake system. We are afraid to drive this car. It is very dangerous at 60 MPH. I believe that the problem is with the ABS brake system. I have owned and worked on cars for 50+ years and have not had a condition like this. I looked up the federal safety agency id # 10025856 I am not sure that this would be the same.
My 2007 toyota camry is experiencing electrical problems. The speedometer goes to zero, the brake light and ABS light comes on and the gauges go haywire. The problem last for a few minutes at a time. This is dangerous as I can't tell how fast I'm driving. The tire pressure light stays on as well. No codes come up in the diagnostic testing. I have taken it to several mechanics and I've spent lots of time and money to find out what's wrong to no avail. I don't think I'll never buy another toyota. It's funny the problem began as I am about to make the last payment.
As I was driving my 2007 toyota camry over 60 MPH on the expressway, my brake light and ABS light both came on. The speedometer went down to 0 speed and the RPM & temperature gauge were bouncing up & down. The AC fan also shut off. I tried the emergency brake on a parking lot and they do not work when the above mentioned happens!! I took it to toyota dealership and they said it "seems" to be the brake actuator assembly and that repairing it will be $2500+. They did tell me that they have seen this problem before and that it is nothing I did wrong- just a "defective" part that toyota has not recalled "yet". I foresee class-action suits/cases regarding this issue in the near future!! I am extremely disappointed at toyota's unreliability and lack of customer satisfaction.
I was riding down the road. As I approach the light my car wouldn't stop my brake I began to notice brake were being pushed to the floor I began to try topump brakes . As I was tryin to stop car I heard this noise like air was coming out of tires. Then I realized it was my brakes making noise . I pull up emergency brake and was able to stop. My 4 mth old grand baby was in his car seat in back, all I could do was pray and thank god. I wasn't far from my home. I drove car home using emergency brakes. Next day my husband took car to shop. They are saying my brake boost has broken and was leaking and there advice was not to drive car. Leave it with them .this happen all of a certain, I had drove that car every day this wk. To fix this car it is going to cost 1300 dollars.
I was driving home on a rainy day and when I tried to brake, they were not responsive and I had to drive off the highway to avoid hitting another vehicle. When I proceeded to accelerate, the pedal got stuck and kept accelerating. I took it to the toyota dealership and they told me nothing was wrong and they could not reproduce the same scenario. Instead they gave me a list of other "issues" that needed to be taken care of. I kindly declined.

The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under the federal safety agency campaign id number: 12v491000 (visibility:power window devices and controls) and since then, the brake warning light illuminates intermittently.

My 6-cylinder camry xle was wrecked in an accident because the brakes failed the pedal would not depress. The camry was serviced regularly at a toyota dealer. It had less than 49,000 miles on it and was in excellent condition. At the time of the accident, the road, weather, and visibility were good. I wasn't speeding, texting, phoning, eating, drinking, or being distracted from driving in any way. There was only one cause for the accident the brake pedal would not depress. Only seconds before I used the brake twice at low speeds. It was not human error. It was mechanical failure. Other cases involving the camry 2007 have been reported on the u.s. Department of transportation, the federal safety agency's (the federal safety agency) complaint web portal, edmunds.com and carcomplaints.com. Similar to the other incidents, there was no warning; I had applied my brakes at stops only seconds earlier. It was a harrowing experience. I couldn't stop for a red light and crashed with another car. I saw the red light with plenty of time to stop if only the brakes had worked! I and the other driver walked away, but my car was totaled and the other driver's car was damaged. Similar to the other incidents, toyota could not detect or replicate the problem. But that does not mean it didn't exist. This is a very dangerous situation that must be addressed. It is my opinion that toyota should issue a recall to the public. I've talked to a couple of master mechanics and they quickly replied that the problem was a power brake assist failure. Despite my phone calls to toyota's north american headquarters and ultimately a letter to the ceo, toyota denied responsibility and my claim.
The first indication was the crl came on with codes p0171 and then p0174. When pressing the brake pedal down, there is a hissing noise and the brake pedal would basically go all the way to the floor. It sounds as if this has happened quite a bit with this model and should be looked into. The dealer has told me that the brake booster must be replaced and that the vehicle is not safe to drive at this point.
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.

Car purchased new on 5/9/2007. Only 30,800 miles & had the oil changed. The car was squealing. Mech. Determined the left rear inside brake pad was almost gone!! Front pads/rotors fine. This is a case of premature rear brake pad wear that toyota is aware of. They issued a tsb. There should be a recall & all work done should be completely free of charge!! Now I have to pay $250.00 to have the entire rear brake system fixed=2 rotors turned, 4 disc brake pads, & labor. Toyota is completely at fault.

I would like to request that the federal safety agency to investigate a serious failure associated with the brake systems on 2007 toyota camry cars. On tuesday 9/6/11, the brake pedal on our camry went to the floor and the car did not slow down while my wife was driving it. She had to hit the brakes again when the pedal came back up in order to stop the car before hitting the car in front of her. This has been a frightening experience for her and we can not figure out what has gone wrong. When I checked the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir it was at its normal level between min and max. Out of safety concern for my wife and son, I took the car to the toyota dealership so that the could identify the root cause of the problem and fix it I felt that they would be the best choice. I did not want to take a any chances by taking it to a lower cost repair shop. After having the car at the service center of the dealership for the whole day, I was told that they could not find anything wrong with the brake system. They said that the brake pads are fine and that they still have 60% life remaining on them, there is no brake fluid leakage anywhere and that they have driven it and they can not make the same failure to happen again. The service advisor's input was that in case the same problem happens again just apply the emergency brake. I picked up the car from the toyota dealership on wednesday night, and I drove it myself for a few miles and I did not notice any problems with the brakes either. This incident has left me and my wife puzzled, concerned, frightened and worried that the same failure could happen again with an unpleasant results and that other toyota camry users may experience a similar problem. Please conduct a full investigation of this problem and advise as to what the root cause might be. We are the first owners of this vehicle and it has never been in an accident.
Sudden unintended acceleration on august 25th 2011 at approximately 1:00 pm, my dad was driving to garvey ranch park located at (781 s orange ave, monterey park, ca 91755) as part of his daily routine. He had already pulled into the parking lot and was getting ready to park his car facing north bound. All of a sudden the car accelerated out of nowhere and hoped the parking curb still facing northbound. In order to avoid any casualties and prevent hitting any of the children near the playground, he was able to steer the car and made a u-turn at about 150 degrees. At this point he was facing south bound of the parking lot and the car continued to accelerate at high speeds. His car then hopped the curb on the south side of the parking lot. Once the car hopped the parking curb on the south side, it continued to hop over a couple of raised concrete blocks that delineate a path onto the hillside just south of the parking lot. Due to the steepness of the hill, it prevented the car from going any further and the car crashed in between two trees located on the hillside. We had already taken the car to longo toyota due to the acceleration recall back on march 13 2010. I couldn't believe the car still had mechanical issues after we had it serviced it for the recall and was glad that my dad did not sustain a very serious injury. The car is available for inspection if an the federal safety agency official would like to inspect the car.

I have a 2007 toyota camry lxe. A driver decided to move into my lane from the left, to avoid a serious collision I had to swerve to the right and hit the brakes. My anti-lock brakes locked and I had no control over the car as we skidded across four lanes and hit a concrete wall. The air bags did not deploy and the seat belts (which were in use) did not lock us in. My wife hit the inside ceiling and the right window of the front door. I tried to find an attorney to go after toyota but could not find one who had the guts to stand up to toyota. There was over $14,500 in repairs and as of today they are still putting the car back together again.
