Toyota has a repair for the hesitation problem in the 2007 camry I know this because mine was repaired by my dealer and it only took 30-45 minutes I threatened with lawsuits to toyota and my dealer took care of the problem so if your dealer tells you that the drive by wire is made to hesitate etc. They are feeding you a line .
Toyota camry 2007 - sudden acceleration in reverse. When I am backing up the car at slow speeds (such as backing out of my garage) the car often suddenly accelerates backwards. When backing up out of my garage I must keep my foot on the brake at all times and be ready to step hard on the brake to stop the sudden backwards acceleration. When driving forward, the engine often hesitates for several seconds when I step on the gas. This often happens when I am rapidly accelerating to enter a freeway. 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. My toyota dealer claims to have fixed the rapid acceleration when driving backwards, but the problem was not fixed. As for the acceleration hesitation, the toyota dealer claimed that the problem I described did not exist.
High speed collision involving a 2007 toyota camry. Driver was familiar with road and was not known to drive aggressively or significantly above speed limit. Police report put rate of speed at time of collision at least 85 MPH. Conversations with investigators indicate that severity of collision indicates speed may have been 100 MPH. Posted speed was approximately 40 MPH. *fb2 updated 03/08/10 *bf updated 05/10/10*jb updated 07/15/10 *bf according to the police report, the driver crashed into a tree, to avoid hitting another vehicle. The vehicle also caught fire. Updated 10/05/10 updated 9/29/11
The vvt-I line from bank 1 failed and oil leaked all over my driveway. The car was 4.3 quarts low. No specific action took place to cause this other than a defective part/design from toyota. The "fix" was a replacement pipe sub assembly (p/n 15707-31030). Apparently there is a metal replacement assembly but they put another rubber pipe into my car. Let's hope it doesn't have again and actually cause some damage.
Car spit oil for miles and all cars like mine have this exact same problem. It is very disappointing that toyota knows about this but refuse to fix it. I had to fix this problem out of pocket and seeing the history with so many problems, I had no choice but to sale the car.
First I heard a squealing noise, then my AC light started blinking and blowing hot air. I got home 5 miles later and turned the car off. Within 2 minutes a huge puddle of oil collected on the driveway under the passenger side of the engine.
2007 camry xle v6, this is my second car (lemon law replaced first camry at 300 miles new) and 4th transmission, all covered by toyota. Last week all oil drained from vehicle while driving.. Oil spewed from underneath vehicle for miles. My girlfriend called me at work, asked me to check my car as she saw my trail of oil for 1/4 mile.. Took car to my mechanic, found a rubber hose, a clamp on each end about 6 inches long, the clamps and hose had to be replaced, because oil spewed out of this part. If my girlfriend hadn't called me, my engine would have seized. As when I checked it at work a puddle of oil was under vehicle, and the dip stick showed no oil in vehicle. What if I was on vacation or traveling out of state, my car engine would have been destroyed. Engine would have seized due to no oil in engine. Big problem................................................
The vvt-I oil line failed during a long out of state trip leaving family stranded and having to rent a vehicle to get home (vermont to maryland). Getting a rental was not fun. The worst part this is a known problem on the 2007 camry v6 engines. The car was in for service the day prior to the failure. The dealer was supposedly checked all hoses, etc. There is a tsb out on the problem, and the vehicle has been regularly serviced since it has been out but never looked at.
Car lost oil pressure from broken vvti oil line. Oil was all over engine and completely all over the bottom of car, driveway and garage. Started smoking, no warning lights went on the dashboard. Car was towed to dealer. It was determined that the oil pipe was broke and replaced as per tsb eg64-05.
While driving the 2007 v-6 camry on the highway the vvti oil pressure tube developed a rapid leak. There were no warning lights or oil pressure failure indicators activated by the leak. This rapid oil leak may cause the engine to seize and lead to an accident. The toyota dealership was contacted and they take no responsibility for the engine design failure, nor do they intend to warn the other camry owners.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While driving 20 MPH, the contact rear ended the preceding vehicle. He immediately noticed smoke coming from the front end and grill area of the vehicle. Five minutes later, flames appeared from the bottom of the front end of the vehicle. The entire front end became engulfed in flames. A police report was filed. There were no injuries. The current mileage was 20,000.
2007 toyota camry with 2gr-fe v-6 engine had a failed vvti pressure pipe assy. Major oil leak developed which caused a loss of engine oil. No warning lights came on. Dealer replaced with the same part number 15707-31030 with the rubber connection instead of the updated all metal part number 15772-31030. I had 56335 miles on the vehicle so it was under warranty but now I am concerned about this event occurring again after another 56000 miles. I went on the internet and now realize that this problem exist on many of the toyota vehicles with this type engine. I feel there should be a recall issued by toyota before someone gets hurt. (fire, broke down on the side of road and another vehicle crashes into you etc.)
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that the vehicle shut off twice while driving various speeds. While the vehicle was stopped and about to make a left turn, the engine revved and the vehicle did not move. Suddenly, the transmission engaged and the speed drastically increased. The contact sped through a traffic light. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they reset the computer. A couple of weeks later, the vehicle revved up again and accelerated. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer once again and they rechecked the computer, but found no failures. The dealer could not duplicate the failure and offer further assistance. The failure mileage was 32,000.
Car's AC blower motor stopped working atr ~ 18 k miles. The heating and cooling system would sometimes not work when it was turned on. This was especially a problem when car was parked in the sun. The blower would also make a thrumming sound and it took 4 times for the dealer to even admit this was happening and it still is not right.
The us federal trade commission has determined in its 2006 & 2007 reports that the toyota camry was the highest listed vehicle to be arbitrated. The failure I encountered was that the vehicle failed to move or react when you applied the gas pedal, this is due to a serious gap in response time due to the toyota "drive by wire" process, software flash updates per the tsb-ECM are not solving the problem, which LED to my accident, this problem may have the potential for causing serious injury or death as a result of not being able to accelerate out of harms way. I encourage toyota camry owners to return their vehicles per their states respective lemon laws or the federal magnuson-moss act. 2006 toyota has the highest complaint rating, 286 complaints, totaling 83.9% of the complaints. Toyota has the top 3 spots for complaints on their vehicles the toyota camry was the most complained about vehicle from everyone in all groups 42 complaints, totaling 12.3% of all complaints. 2007 again toyota took 85 complaints, totaling 84.2% the top 3 vehicles were from toyota, the camry again is in place number 3 12 total complaints, totaling 11.9%, the highest now 2 years in a row. The reports were obtained from http://www.ncdsusa.org.
For the past yr the car shakes between 45-35mph when slowing to brake, rotor replaced and brakes replaced. Also A/C system smells of urine 80% of time, lastly engine when braking and depressing gas to accel. Jumps and is unsafe.
Failure of vvti oil line causing complete engine failure. 2007 toyota camry v6. 63000 miles dealer said common problem. Defective oil line. Toyota paid zero. Dealer replaced engine at a discount.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While driving 35 MPH, the variable valve timing oil supply hose ruptured. As a result, engine oil sprayed all over the exhaust system, engine, and down into the tail pipes. Both front wheel wells began to smoke. Upon further investigation, the contact found large puddles of engine oil. There were no warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and they stated that it would take over five weeks to obtain the part (hose) needed to make the repairs due to a national back order. The current and failure mileages were less than 69,000.
Without warning, the vvt oil supply hose ruptured, spraying engine oil all over the engine, undercarriage and hot exhaust of my vehicle. This is a 2007 toyota camry xle with the 3.5 litre engine. The vehicle lost almost all of it's engine oil in a very short period of time and no warning lights or indicators ever came on. Traveling at highway speeds and with the catalytic converter at peak operating temperatures, this poses a very serious fire hazard. After having my vehicle towed to the toyota dealer, I was advised that the ruptured hose was on national backorder and would take at least 5 weeks to get. I contacted toyota's corporate offices and was told that production of the hoses could not meet the demand for them and that it may take 5 weeks or more to get the part at my local dealer. I was informed by a very reliable source that at the present time, toyota has approximately 1100 vehicles with this same issue across the country. The other problem is that the oil has covered all of the rubber suspension parts from the front of the vehicle all the way to the rear tailpipe tips. After sitting for several weeks, this can cause catastrophic damage to all of the rubber suspension parts. I feel that the toyota corporation is trying to limit it's expense for these premature failures of this oil supply hose and this poses a serious threat to the safety of anyone riding in the vehicle. This should certainly warrant a look by the federal safety agency as it appears that the problem is larger tan the ability of toyota to fix. This also places an unwarranted burden on the customer who has to pay for a defective car that is out of service and also pay for rental transportation to remain gainfully employed.
Oil shooting from rear oil transfer hose at 84,116 even though car was recently serviced. Mechanic said toyota is changing from mesh hose to steel hose and is aware of problem. No service bulletins or recall notices have been sent out. Car was repaired with new hose, oil , filter and engine was steam cleaned. Engine appeared ok but car could have seized on the freeway and caused an accident.
I bought my toyota camry brand new from ed morse toyota of delray beach florida in aug 2007, it was a brand new 2007 camry le, six cylinder, I reported on numerous occasions at the dealership that the car would stop or hesitate, they never fixed the problem, today on 3/16/2008 at 11:02am the hesitation contributed to me having a severe accident and was reported to fhp report# fhpl090ff014673 I had brought in the vehicle for hesitation issues on 10/17/2007,11/28/2008, 2/25/2009.

Vvti line in 2007 toyota camry with 63000 miles burst out of the blue. Engine oil everywhere. Part not in stock, will take 3 weeks for part to come in.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. Immediately after the vehicle was purchased in july of 2008, the contact noticed that the RPM gauge would jump back and forth when the accelerator pedal was depressed. Approximately six weeks later, the vehicle would not accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. When the vehicle finally began to gain speed, she drove to her residence. The vehicle was then driven to the dealer and they stated that the vehicle needed to be recalibrated. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer advised her to take the vehicle back to the dealer for investigation. The current mileage was 28,000 and failure mileage was 25,000.
2007 camry uses a pedal position sensor and a throttle position sensor (drive by wire) so there is no actual mechanical cable between the accelerator pedal and the throttle body. However, hesitates frequently especially when decelerating (through a toll or for traffic) and then trying to accelerate again. They found nothing wrong at dealer when service, I was told by the technician others have had similar complaints.
Camry 2007 se v6. Acceleration problems, hesitates at take off, transmission slips like its searching for a gear, smell from A/C. Engine ticks when I take off and don't let it warm up even though its warm outside. Had problems with tires, had them replaced. Loud road noise car not very sound proof. Feels like steering wheel "sticks"for just a second long enough to scare me like someone is holding it.
Engine revs up on its own and the car suddenly accelerates once reaching 95mph w/o my foot being on the gas. The brakes do not respond at first and when they do the car begins to shake violently; it takes about 3 to 4 min to get the car to slow down. Pulling the hand brake does nothing. Thus far this has happened four times. The first time once I got down to 15mph I just turned off the motor. The other times the car was put in neutral then park while the engine continued to rev as if it were going 75 or 80 and the tires wanted to roll the car was jumping. Every time we were on the highway and lucky enough to have been able to maneuver between the traffic. The car has been taken to the service department at the dealership twice overall it has been there for 3 and a half weeks, the service people have been unable to replicate the problem. The car was inspected by a toyota tech and deemed fine to operate. My husband and I are afraid to drive the car not only for ourselves but for everyone else who is on the road.
I purchased 2007 toyota camry le. I have had nothing but trouble with it. The car has put me and my family in danger every time we accelerate. It will not go. The car almost stalls out. Also when I make left turns the steering seems to lock up. I have to jerk the car back to the right to get the steering wheel to unstick. Brought it to the dealer and they tell me everything is okay. Of course they will say that. I think they train them in school to use that answer. I will be bringing the car back to them because this is getting scary. The car only has 12k miles on it. I have seen hundreds of complaints on this same thing so if they state does not do something, than they should be held liable if someone dies in an accident.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. Whenever the contact decelerates from 20 MPH and then begins to accelerate, the vehicle stalls for 1-5 seconds before accelerating. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the failure was a characteristic of the vehicle and would repair itself over time. The failure still persists. The current mileage was 37,000 and failure mileage was 23,000. Updated 09/10/08. *lj updated 09/16/08.
