On highway at 65 MPH, speedometer needle suddenly dropped to zero at same time ABS and brake lights lit up on dash. After a few minutes, ABS and brake dash lights turned off at the same time speedometer needle jumped back to current speed indication. No loss of power either way, but has been cycling between for the past week. Not limited to specific speeds of amount of time engine has been running, as it occurs at various speeds and various times.
2007 Toyota Camry electrical complaints
Page 3 of 9: complaints 41 to 70 of 231, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The short circuiting of the ABS actuator has hit me too. This happened on 03/22/2017 to my 2007 camry le. It first came up when I was waiting at a red light. The ABS and brake light came up and even when the car started moving, the speedometer wasn't moving. I took the vehicle to the service center and was told that the ABS actuator needs to be replaced. It is going to cost me $2500. I do not want to spend almost half of the car's worth on replacing this part when I won't be surprised if another part blows up. Looks like this is a very common issue with the 2007 camry model. I am surprised that toyota is not extending the warranty offered to the hybrid model to the non hybrid one. This is indeed a manufacturing issue and should be fixed. Or is it going to take a few accidents before toyota accepts its fault. Fuel gauge, tacometer, speedometer don't work the federal safety agency action number: pe14001 covers just hybrid model however the it's the same same part: brake actuator
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that the ABS warning indicator illuminated when the vehicle was started. The contact also stated that the instrument cluster failed to operate as intended. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. There was no fault code associated with the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage 152,369.
I was driving into my garage and had just brake to let it ease in. My foot was still on the brake, when the car suddenly revved and lunged forward. The brake would not work, and it was as if the car had a mind of its own. It hit the crate that was in front of the wall, and forced a bike rack through the wall. The front bumper of my car was cracked in places. The car then stopped. So scary! I immediately called my dealership and was told they could not talk to me. I needed to call the corporation, which I did. After two months of waiting on a decision, I was told there is nothing wrong with my car, and that's that. I have since learned that there have been other incidents with toyotas just like mine. I am petrified to drive the car, and yet I am also afraid to pass it on to someone else. I don't want anyone hurt. I have called toyota, and they do not return my calls I am wondering what I can do.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While driving 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The air bag, ABS, check engine, and other warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was restarted, but the failure recurred shortly afterwards. The contact mentioned that the failure was intermittent and occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 95,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While driving 50 MPH, the entire instrument panel illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the ABS actuator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The VIN and failure mileage were unknown.
Car was recently shipped from overseas. When I got my car, the dash lights will not go off, the ABS motor will not shut off causing my battery to drain constantly, speedometer will not work, gas gauge moves slow, engine shakes and feels like it is going to cut off. The car was stationary and in motion. Car air condition occasionally blows hot air.
Dealership found the ABS actuator had failed. Symptoms included: ABS and parking break lights randomly turn on while driving. Speedometer will stop working and tachymeter will start to bounce. A/c also blows warm. There are several cases of this found online and per consumer reports the 2007 camry hybrid experienced problems with the ABS actuator as well.
Abs and brake light comes on and the odometer an tachometer stop working or go up and down wildly at the same time the air conditioner blows hot air. Also excessively burning oil 1 to 2 quarts per 1000 miles.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that there was a presence of an internal fire and smoke emitted under the hood without warning. Upon further inspection, it was noticed that there was an electrical charge with the positive battery cable. The battery mounts, battery posts, and metal plate burned and the battery cradle fractured, which exposed the battery. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for further inspection. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000.
Abs, break, RPM, and dashboard goes crazy while driving. Ac also stops working. This happens daily and goes on and off during my commute. I have already replaced alternator, batter, and electrical wiring and it's still an issue.
On an intermittent basis, brake and ABS indicator lights illuminate on instrument panel, tachometer and speedometer are inoperative or indicator needles jumping, temperature gauge inoperative, A/C not functioning. Occurs while driving and when stationary. Based on internet research other drivers state problem is with ABS ecu. Dealer indicates toyota will not fund repair. Based on apparent frequency of problem, toyota should cover cost of repair. Per dealer, part costs about $1700.
1) front headlamps burn weak and plastic lens covers yellowed over time, latter problem of which is that lenses can't be cleaned by either commercial auto solvents or by local mechanic, creating safety hazard for driving at night. Price quoted for parts alone via toyota is $818 for headlamp set, plus labor. I have owned 2 other camry models and never had any issue with headlamp obfuscation due to lens material or bulb composition. This vehicle's headlamp lens composition is filmy to cloudy to naked eye in daylight, not nearly crystal clear as when new.. Even if bulbs were replaced the lens would obscure radius and length of headlamp for any night distance driving other than heavily lit streets. Must use high beams at night when possible and when not hazard to oncoming drivers. Even high beam distance dull. Noticed while driving on highway and other cars illuminate their own pathway far better than my own. Night time driving on rural, semi-rural, county, suburban or unlighted state and local highways in particular are a hazard. 2) engine has regularly burned 1 quart of oil about every 1,000 miles since car had clocked 60k miles. Underwent oil test under extended recall bulletin via toyota and it deemed car within specs (time of year and type of oil can vary amount of oil burned but recommended 5w20 results in 2-3 quarts a month burned off, no leaks, 75% highway driving.). Bigger issue is oil can get dangerously low (at least quarter inch below dipstick low level) and no dashboard warning light comes on. Oil levels must be checked manually at least weekly and/or at fill-up to ensure oil tank has enough oil. Generally have been adding 2 to 3 quarts a month. Despite tech bulletin recommendations, toyota says I am ineligible for mechanical remediation. Car currently runs and has 160k miles +/- on it. Date below is approximate for 60k mileage..
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While driving various speeds, the speedometer became inoperable and the ABS light constantly illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 138,000.
July 2016, check engine light came on. Diagnostic indicated code p171. Was advised it was a laundry list of systems to check for this code. ( replaced the following; flex pipe, 02 sensor, spark plugs and fuel pump. For a total of 1400.00) while driving on I-95 at 60 MPH, airbag light, brake light, ABS light and seat belt light all illuminated at the same time. Techometer surged out of control, engine temp gauge displayed no reading and speedometer went to zero. Oh and yeah, the AC that was blowing very cold air switched to warm or hot. All of these issues happened at the same time on the highway at 60 MPH. Ironically, the check engine light did not illuminate and the mechanic is unable to determine the cause as there is no code issued from the computer for this very dangerous problem. This problem happens randomly and there is no warning. The engine performs normal during this issue with the exception of the AC that fails every time. This issue can and has happened when the car is sitting parked with engine running and while in motion. I am so afraid that this eventually will cause a serious accident or death. And the most annoying part is no mechanic can tell any of us why this happens or how to fix it. Please, please, help us before the worst happens.
The tachometer, speedometer, and odometer work sporadically, mostly they are non functional. All warning lights are on when the speedometer is not working. The gas and temperature gauge work most of the time. The air condition fan works normally but the air condition blows cold air only when the speedometer is working.
Speedometer, tachometer and temperature gauge either stop working, or bounce around, out of control. The blower for the AC works, but when the condition exists, there is no cold air. Things are normal at a cold start, but deteriorate from there, stationary or all types of driving.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning and the instrument panel lights illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart after several attempts. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

My oil light comes on every time I break
My car started to throw smoke from behind the clusters I stopped quickly I turned off the engine and I desconected the battery.after a couple minutes I took off the clusters and I found the problem.I bought the car to the dealer and I'me on hold to see if toyota will fix the problem. The problem is that the part # 82671-33070 it makes the clusters crazy and check engine lights from cluster check engine, brake lights, belts etc, the part melts and it gets the wires hot from the dash wirese harness that happened whent ir was driving in the city.
The instrument that show speed, RPM, gasoline, etc was going wary. The speed and the RPM go up and down, brake light come on, ABS light come on, etc. I do not how fast I drive. This happened around every 5 mins, randomly and last for 1 mins sometimes 10 mins. The air conditioning stop working during this time. I checked online and I saw many people experience the same thing. This is a manufacturer problem, there is not relate issue with the way you drive, the way you do anything in the car. I used the card since new and the mileage currently only 103k+, for 9 years old car this is very low mileage.
Recently the "ABS" and "brake" light came up; now these light come up and stay on for some time- simultaneously; the needles of the MPH, RPM, h/c, and gas gauge drops- the prm needles flicker up and down. Also, the temperature marker doesn't work. The MPH hits down to '0' when I am on the road at normal speed. But I don't know my speed. My air conditioning system does not work when this happens. I also notice that it doesn't track the "trip' miles when it is out of control (although I haven't noticed if it fails to track the mileage on the odometer. Then this 'problem' stops and the car goes back to "normal." a few minutes later, the same problem. The problem can last for 5 minutes to 20 minutes. I called toyota service's 800 number after searching the web and reading similar problems being documented. Here are just a few: http://www.carcomplaints.com/toyota/camry/2007/electrical/electrical_system.shtml; http://www.justanswer.com/toyota/5o8xa-toyota-camry-operating-2007-camry-occasionally.html. One person posted 'I called the toyota corporate office in 2012', yet when I called toyota claimed no knowledge. The person I spoke to even said they have never received a call about this before. Some of the posts online of people who have complained about this issue state the exact thing toyota told me over the phone. This is a huge safety hazard. I tried to defrost my windows and had an issue with that because the car was on the "ABS" "brake" and the car was acting up. My car tested positive for oil consumption problem and I am waiting to get that replaced. Now this started happening. This "new" problem needs to be addressed and corrected by toyota.
While operating the vehicle (stationary or moving) the instrument panel will intermittently provide false/no information. Some of the known symptoms include the flashing of the malfunction lights for the ABS system and parking brake, the gauge needles showing zero while moving or bouncing intermittently, and the A/C system being inoperative.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While the vehicle was parked, the contact was able to place the gear shifter in reverse without the keys being in the ignition. The vehicle coasted backwards and crashed into another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 129,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While driving at various speeds, the speedometer went down to zero and the ABS warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that a software issue was the cause of the failure and the software would need to be updated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 180,000.
I had ABS, and brake lights came on. The speedometer, odometer and A/C has stopped working without reason. Dealer found u0073 trouble code and I had the replace ABS actuator assembly which includes ABS pump and ecu. From the research that I made online, I have found out that many 07-10 camry users have the same problems with their ABS system. A new actuator assembly costs over 3000 dolares and they are manufactured by bosch. I believe that toyota is hiding the problem because a recall cost on this particular matter will be a lot higher. An example of the problem was shown in the following youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdtgabjrfds
I was driving my 2007 toyota camry le and the ABS and brake lights came on and the RPM gauge bounce around and speedometer stops working and stays on zero and I have read a lot of complaints and should be a recall on the problem and toyota should be held responsible for this happening to a lot and several 2007 toyota vehicles like the camry.
