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.

2007 toyota camry - while slowing down in traffic from 30 MPH, as I reached approximately 10 MPH the engine "revved up" ......I had to brake harder while the car was bucking as if it wanted to speed ahead ....after 5 seconds, engine slowed abruptly so that we thought it had stalled but it was just back to the usual idling speed. The car was brought in to the toyota dealership on june 16, 2010 right after this incident. They examined the car, found nothing wrong and charged us $96.00. This "revving up" has happened before but not as severe as this occurrence. Since the june 16 incident, it has happened six other times several of which were severe. The most recent severe incident was on august 21, 2010. We have notified the toyota corporation but as of today, 8/25/2010, they have not advised us as to what to do. We are not driving the car until this is resolved and the car is found to be safe.

Letter from congressman kagen on behalf of constituent re compensation for toyota repairs and car rental costs note: letter forwarded from consumer product safety commission *tgw the consumer stated the vvt-I oil line is a rubber hose which routes a high pressure flow of hot engine oil outside the engine block. The rubber deteriorates over time and can unexpectedly break or rupture from 19,000 to over 100,000 miles and can lead to very expensive repairs when running the engine without oil causing severe engine damage. Most owners reported there was no warning from the oil or check engine light and they discovered the problem when they noticed a puddle of oil on the ground. The manufacturing fix was instituted in north america plants in april 2008. The assembly fix was to replace the defective metal and rubber assembly with an all metal oil line. The consumer stated her vehicle lost oil suddenly with no warning. When the consumer approached her vehicle, she noticed a large amount of oil underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was purchased. They were unable to do the repairs, so the vehicle was towed to another establishment where the engine was replaced. According to the letter written by the establishment that replaced the engine; the vehicle's engine had locked up, the engine was tight and oil was all over the engine compartment and under the vehicle. When the engine was removed, they found spun bearings, and the crank and two rods were no good.
I purchased a toyota camry 2007 about three years ago and my transmission went out despite the fact that I received the require maintenance on the vehicle. I am still paying a car note on this vehicle,but can not drive it because of this problem. I addressed my concerns to toyota and initially jack taylors and dar cars of toyota stated they could take 10% off the 4800 they quoted me. I felt disrespected and insulted because I have brought several cars from toyota and never experienced any major issues.as a single mother and person that is still paying a car note, I did not have that kind of money. I then explored other alternatives , so that I can shop for the best possible price at other transmissions shop. The first shop I went you was a-1 transmission(suitland, md)and they indicated that this is a common problem in toyotas camry regarding transmission issues. I then took it to cottman's transmission(waldorf, md) and mechanic indicated that this is common issue in toyota. Reportedly, he stated that there are defects with some of the bolts and things they use. I decided to go with cottmans because of their reputation and price. Also, because they offered the best warranty( 3year). Toyota jack taylor, alexandira,va phoned me a couple days after , stating that they could give me 50% off theprice, however, it was being work on in the shop, so I ask if they could pay half the price that cottman's was giving me and they said "no". I feel like I am being penalized for toyota's deficiencies. After getting my car fixed, it does not drive the same and literally I feel like I am paying for something that doesn't adequately supply my need(lemon) I use to work for the federal safety agency hotline and I wanted to report this issue because this has caused undue hardship and burden on my family. I a rent a car for about two weeks and can not pay my daughter's tuition for school. My daughter's school has extended grace to me. I would appreciate if you all would investigate this mat.

I own a 2007 camry ce. Last month I noticed the oil lamp was on but my oil change wasn't due for another 2000 miles. I took it to toyota and they topped off the oil and asked me to return at 1000 miles. I did and the oil was again low. They topped it off again and asked me to return at 500 miles-I did. I left the vehicle overnight at the dealer's request because the oil was being consumed at a certain rate and couldn't be explained. I received a call the next day to let me know that they don't know the problem and the only solution is to "rebuilt" the engine at a cost of $6900 plus tax. Unfortunately, my warranty ran out at 60k miles and I have 62k miles now. I had less than $61k miles when this all started so I'm only out of warranty by a few hundred miles! How is it possible to have this kind of repair for a vehicle I've taken care of with oil changes every 5k miles. I refuse to pay more than I owe on this vehicle and I will seek help from the media if toyota refuses to do the right thing. Fix it w/o breaking the bank!
Driving my camry, stopped at a red light and my engine died. No problems with my car and no indication there was a problem.
Car had a burning oil smell that grew stronger during one day. Finally heard a small ticking noise as I came close to home, smell was worse and I connected the two... Hurried home 5 blocks away. Oil trail behind my car to the home. Checked oil, required 4.5 quarts of oil to bring it back to level. Researched on line toyota owners forum, mention of oil pipe from crankcase to upper head area leaking. A rubber hose that connected two metal hoses failed on other toyotas, ravs and something else. Called toyota regarding oil leaks.. Gave them my VIN # and was informed that my car didn't fall into a service bulletin about the problem, and mileage was over 60k... Even though it was exactly like the other cars that are covered. Called the local dealer, brought the car in, related to the service writer my experience as a service writer and mechanic, asked if he could make exception or check with area rep. He did, repair as were covered for me, but only because I knew what I was talking about and a good service writer. Concerned that many others that don't have mechanical experience or good ears won't catch this, engine damage will result if not caught in time and toyota has not issued a recall for a wider range of cars that have the same issue. They replaced the rubber hose in between the two lines, apparently there is a better fix, a completely metal oil line that prevents oil breaking down the rubber hose.
Heard a load noice on a camry hybird 2007: and wheni took the car for service check , the dealer informed me with a failed water bump not covered under toyota warrenty -at a low low milage 60,800
I was driving with my wife in our 2007 toyota camry se and had a catastrophic failure of the oil supply hose at 60 MPH. No engine warning lights came on at any time. In my rear view mirror I saw a huge cloud of smoke behind car. I pulled car to the side opened the hood and found oil on the engine. Called toyota and had the car towed. They told me all the oil in the engine was gone and that this was a recall item. They replaced hose and oil but now I wonder if I have permanent damage to the engine. Drove home and parked it. On 2/17/2010 I had a recall visit to the dealer on the accelerator pedal but no one informed me of this recall. One week ago I received a letters from toyota on more recalls (the oil hose was one). I tried to get an appointment but they were busy until april. This is not a small leak like they say in the notice-when it goes you think you have blown an engine with 6.5 quarts of oil hitting a the hot exhaust. I would think there is a distinct possibility of fire or loss of control.
Attn: defects investigations office. 2007 toyota camry with 38721 miles that is owned by and used as an undercover police vehicle accelerated without explanation on march 10, 2010. The operator, who is a sworn officer, advises that his foot was not on the accelerator and the vehicle increased in speed and engine revolutions without explanation. The event occurred over the course of approximately 1/10th of a mile reaching speeds just over 60 MPH. The acceleration event corrected itself. There was no injury or crash associated with the event. The vehicle in question had completed a toyota recall service program # ssc90l to address acceleration issues with this model vehicle on march 2, 2010. The vehicle was returned to the henrico police on march 3, 2010. The extremely short period of time between the recall service and this sudden unanticipated acceleration event gives reason to believe that the recall service was not effective in correcting the acceleration issues associated with toyota brand vehicles. The vehicle was parked shortly after the event and is currently secured by the henrico police. The vehicle has not been driven or examined by any parties since the occurrence of this acceleration event. In light of the fact that this vehicle had recently completed the required acceleration recall service and has been secured since the date of the occurrence, this agency believes that this vehicle is an ideal candidate for examination by the office of defects investigations to determine the origin of this unanticipated acceleration event. The vehicle in question is outfitted with toyota brand floor mats which are tethered to anchors in the floorboard of the vehicle.

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.

On 3/01/2010 my camry accelerated at a high speed while approaching my home at [xxx] causing me to maneuver the vehicle into a ditch right in front of my house.

By the tires constantly spinning an a high rate the entire vehicle became engulfed in flames. Everything is now gone. I contacted toyota corp and was issued a case number (ref # [xxx] ). What should I do? At this point any safe mode of transportation would do, for it is my wife that is terminally and need to be brought home under hospice care. How should handle this? [xxx]
At the speed of less than aprox 15-20 miles on a turn, car spun off and lost control. Caused wheels to crash into curb, and severely damaged. Noticed oil on the tire surface. Moved car out of toad way. Car spilled lot of oil. The toyota dealer assessed, and told us that the oil hose (vvt-I) has ruptured, causing oil leak. Toyota later informed that there is a so called "limited campaign" to replace these hoses. They are denying that the oil leak was the cause of accident. They have not done any thorough investigation. The written response from does not even satisfactorily explain their reasoning for denying claim.

We have a 2007 camry xle and the car surges when the cruise control is on and going up a hill. If the cruise is set for 67mph the car has a about 2300 RPM. Going up a moderate hill, the car downshifts and goes to 3400 RPM. It then surges to 4700 RPM which puts the drivers head into the head rest. The issue has been going on since we bought the car in may of 2007. We called our local dealer(topsham, maine lee toyota), and they said it was what the computer was programmed to do. I asked again the 1st time I had it in for service and received the same response. It does only happen with the cruise control on, so we have learned to shut off the cruise control going up any hills. We have a 2nd issue with our 2007 camry which toyota refuses to fix. If the rear defrost is turned on while the radio is on, the radio goes dead. The radio antenna and defrost wires are in the same window, and one is shorting out the other. I was told that since no fire occurs to turn off the radio while the rear defrost is on. I have read many similar issues on the internet and told toyota such.
My 2007 toyota camry xle was seen at our toyota dealership and our local mechanic about 4 times during late 2008 and 2009 for frequent high revving of the engine and rpms. No "fix" ever occurred. The dealership said they could not find anything. I am very concerned now with the current recall, and I'm contacting the dealership again today.
I was driving on an interstate highway and without any warning the vvti line captured draining all the oil and subsequently causing a lot of damage to the engine.
The engine often hesitates for several seconds when I step on the gas. This often happens when I am rapidly accelerating to enter a freewayor simply pulling away from a stop light. This is a dangerous situation as I need the car to accelerate to enter fast moving traffic but I cannot count on the engine to rapidly speed up. After several seconds of hesitation, the car then accelerates too rapidly. I have had an issue with this car since I have owned it and have been given every excuse in the world as to why the vehicle performs in this matter from the computer has to "learn " your driving style to that is how toyota made the vehicle. They replaced the transmission and rebooted the computer and still the problem. I also had the vvti oil line break and dump oil and had been driving like that for over 100 miles-I had replaced the regular oil with synthetic oil -toyota replaced the line and used the exact same kind of part that had failed when I requested they replace it with the upgraded part I was told that it was not a warranty part replacement for the failure and if I wanted them to put the other part on they would but the car would not be covered under warranty because of the non specified part being put on the car, lets hope it does not fail again. Two issues one ongoing one not fixed with the upgraded part--shame on toyota!!
On april 22, 2009, an oil line part #15707-31030 ruptured on our 2007 toyota camry VIN very rapidly pumping oil from the engine and requiring immediate repair. Since april 2009, while investigating reimbursement for repair costs, several toyota service representatives from local dealerships stated that toyota has identified this model engine in avalon vehicles as having this same ruptured oil line defect as occurred on my vehicle. Since july 2009 while seeking reimbursement for engine repairs with toyota customer service, I requested that this issue be pursued internal to identify this defect through technical bulletin or recall for camry vehicles. On january 6, 2010, I spoke to miguel lopez, supervisor, toyota customer experience, department wc10, toyota motor sales, u.s.a., reference this issue and he stated very clearly that "no action or follow-up" phone calls or other communication would be taken by his office to investigate this safety issue with camry?s. He stated that safety concerns would have to be taken through a local dealership. Mr. Lopez stated he was the senior supervisor and he would not connect me to any other supervisor or point of contact within toyota.
I am not sure what LED up to the problem, however on december 23, 2009 at about 0515 am pst I was notified by a co-worker that a large oil puddle was beneath the passenger side of the vehicle. The oil leak was sudden and began to drip oil from engine area causing a burning smell to emit from the engine. On that same day I took the vehicle to my local toyota dealership for service to correct the problem. The dealer removed and replaced vvti oil line, timing chain cover, and drive belts. Would like to find out if a previous toyota limited safety campaign lsc 90k should be expanded to include 2007 toyota camry v-6.
