On occasion, my 2007 toyota camry stalls upon acceleration. This causes extremely dangerous situation when pulling into traffic from a stop. I returned camry to toyota only a few days after purchase- they replaced a sensor, but car still stalls. I have returned camry to toyota many times for same stall issue. In fact, toyota is in the shop now with same complaint. The issue has never been repaired.

I bought a 2007 camry in june of 06. The car was manufactured in kentucky. The front and back brakes have squealed almost from the first day and I started reporting the problem at the first dealership service. Both tsb's have been applied but did not fix the problem. A technician finally heard a squeak and anti squeaking lubricant was also applied but only lasted a week. Left the car at the dealership last monday night and the district person came tuesday. The response was they could not reproduce the squeal so could not fix the problem. Of course they squealed twice on the way home. I see I am not the only person with this problem. I also had the transmission problem and fortunately the tsb fixed that problem. Then the black wheel rims under the hub caps rusted horribly and the dealership had to replace them under warranty. Never thought I would have these problems with a new car.
Bad smell coming from the AC when is initially turn on and 5 days ago find out the rug on the passenger side and back on the same side are soaking wet. Mechanic from the dealer stated that one AC hose inside the car, underneath the dashboard was tugged in. Then the manager stated it was the outside hose from the AC. They state they are not responsible for the water damage. Want costumer to pay 1,480 to change the rugs. Only 9,707 miles, they are being dishonest to the customers. Also, slow acceleration and jumpy ride.
My 2007 toyota camry v6 is burning oil excessively, all symptoms indicate that the oil skimmer ring is installed upside down in two cylinders. The vehicle is smoking ones in a wile but a lot. Mostly after driving longer distance on freeway or in the morning after startup, sometimes after left turns the oil chokes the engine at some point, causing it to stall and throws excessive amount of smoke. I found other consumers with similar problem in canada with the same model and similar age vehicle. The vehicles have low mileage between 8,000-3,0000 supporting the possibility that it may be manufacturing defect. Toyota refused to cure the problem under warranty because I didn't keep my receipts of my maintenance. I think a trainee is responsible for the wrong installation of the piston rings and may be more out there.
Terrible hesitation problem in general acceleration and overall lack of engine power in 2007 4 cylinder toyota camry. Vehicle purchased new 09/12/07, currently has 6,000 miles on odometer. A toyota tsb was performed at dealership. Did not correct problem. This is a scary situation, especially when attempting to maneuver in entrance ramp interstate traffic and and instance when instant acceleration is required. This vehicle is driven daily by my wife, and we are both fearful and concerned that something bad will happen because of the lack of satisfactory performance of this camry.
The car hesitates un-expectantly when trying to accelerate. This is an on going problem and is random. Several times this condition has nearly cause an accident. Dealer cannot fix problem but acknowledges it is a problem.
When the car is idling (I.e. At traffic light, in driveway, etc...), the cabin fills with the exhaust odor. It seems as if the exhaust fumes fill the inside of the car, even with the windows up.
I bought a 2007 toyota camry xle 4cylinder in august 2006 and 4 times it has ran out of oil. The dealership does not know why this is happening and has me bringing in my car every 500 miles to check the oil levels.
When parking on the driveway in front of the house the vehicle surged forward with enough throttle to put skid marks on the ground and proceeded to ram into the structure. The cause of the incident is unknown as the vehicle was not expected to "run into our house." when power toyota of cerritos service department was notified about the situation they denied an issue existed with the vehicle. Numerous managers were spoken to including the shop foreman. They stood by the denial. When the issue of the 2007 toyota tacoma sudden throttle surging problem was brought up, management finally came out to the vehicle to take pictures of the damage cause by the collision with the structure.
Going through a car wash caused the cabin filter to fill with water. Air could not pass through vents. Vehicle smells foul inside. Dealer says using car wash is not recommended and should avoid driving in hard rain. No attempt to repair was made. My camry is not weather-proof!
Rotten egg odor in the cabin. When the car is accelerated, a very strong odor invades the cabin of the car. We have to lower the windows to vent out the odor. Toyota claims that this type of odor at the exhaust is caused by too much sulfur content in the gasoline, but the problem is that the odor is getting in the cabin. I understand that the gasoline has to pass certain standards and that the vehicle should be able to cope with any type of gasoline sold at us and it's territories.
Car downshifts on small hills while using cruise control. Car hesitates at times and has poor acceleration as the transmission searches for a gear. This lasts for seconds, creating a safety hazard. The problems were resolved with a tsb issued 8/2/07 but the problem came back after a few days. It seemed toyota's "learning" drivetrain re-learned all the problems.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitates or stalls when driving approximately 15 MPH. The vehicle speed control also surges intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice. The first time they stated that the occurrence was normal for a new vehicle. The second time they performed a flash on the ECM. The vehicle performed normally for approximately 1,000 miles, but then it began hesitating again. The failure mileage was 1,000 and current mileage was 18,000.
2007 toyota camry,very sluggish on takeoff and stalls on occasion, this happens on a regular basis.
My 2007 camry xle 4 cyl/auto have 2 powertrain problems. 1) the engine has an excessive "oil consumption" problem. It burns a qt. Of oil every 1,000 miles. Twice in the last 10k miles a warning alarm came on, followed by a"low eng oil pressure" light. Each time we found almost 2 qt. Low-verified by dealer, who can't find any external leaks or smoke. After a lengthy 3rd visit to the dealer for extensive testing, they returned my car without finding the problem. Toyota-engineering has no idea how to fix this problem either, so the dealer can only check/add oil weekly-indefinitely. 2) the transmission does not respond when entering/merging freeways. I must endure near-misses almost daily because the car won't go whenever I stump on the accelerater, causing me to have nightmares of being rear-ended on the freeway. This car is not safe and the manufacturer can't fix it!
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While attempting to accelerate from a stop, the vehicle hesitated. When driving on an incline, the vehicle downshifted automatically without warning. The failure began one week after purchasing the vehicle. The dealer stated that the vehicle was operating normally. The speed was unknown. The failure mileage was 250 and current mileage was 6,300.
2007 toyota camry 4 cylinder. Fails to accelerate properly. Cruise control operates poorly and surges.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While driving approximately 10-15 MPH or at a stop, the vehicle stalls. The contact stated that the vehicle also hesitates as if it will stall, but dramatically decelerates instead. On one occasion, while driving approximately 30-35 MPH, the vehicle pulled to the left. The vehicle has been to the dealer at least five times and they stated that the failure was caused by improper calibration. There was a service bulletin regarding this failure. Some dealers have refused to repair her vehicle and stated that it was designed to perform in that manner. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persists. The service bulletin number was unknown. The current mileage was 10,000 and failure mileage was 100.
From almost the first day I purchased the vehicle I have had hesitation ( appx. 1 to 3 seconds) while accelerating. The vehicle has a four cylinder engine. I now see that this seems to be a common problem with the 2007 camry.
I have a 2007 camry xle with 13,000 miles. From the first day I purchased the car, it has had a severe hesitation when attempting to accelerate both from a stop and at highway speeds (passing, merging into traffic). In addition, the automatic transmission seems to slip between 2nd and 3rd gear (approximately 20 to 25 MPH) before it locks into gear and begins to accelerate. This is most noticeable when the engine is cold. I told the toyota service department about the problems at my last oil change. They hooked it up to the computer and test drove and were not able to replicate the transmission slippage problem. I was also told that the acceleration delay was due to the computer needing to communicate with the engine, and this was a normal delay and that I would "just have to get used to it". On several occasions this delay in acceleration has almost caused me to be in an accident.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While driving 50 MPH, the engine hesitated and the vehicle jerked when attempting to accelerate. As of august 10, 2007, the dealer has not inspected the vehicle. The failure mileage was 9,900 and current mileage was 10,000.
2007 toyota camry with engine problems customer wants to turn the car in at no cost to him**cc the consumer stated the vehicle would start.
Own a 2005 toyota camry le-v6. Poor acceleration!!! Dealer played it off as it's a computer throttle so it takes time for throttle and engine to communicate!!?? So in other words live with it. Very fearful on highways as the car doesn't accelerate to keep up with passing or merging vehicles. Hard to take off from complete stop without hesitation. Very unsafe. No recalls at this time. Hopefully there will be since I am not the only one with this issue/complaint!!
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. When decelerating to stop and then attempting to accelerate, the vehicle hesitates for approximately two to three seconds. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who stated that they are aware of the failure, but do not know how it can be remedied. The current mileage is 5,725 and failure mileage was 1,225. Updated 02-01-08.
2007 toyota camry hesitated when accelerating I have been told by toyota thiswas normal and all camrys do this I have driven others and they hesitated but in an emergency situation . This was very dangerous it made it hazardous to enter freeways I was told a hesitation of 1 to 3 seconds was normal I have seen this same complaint from other owners in other states, and feelt this was a serious safety problem.
2007 camry se 4cyl. Severe safety issue related to hesitation and lack of acceleration. When entering traffic from a low speed or from a dead stop the car barely responds to the accelerator. It will slowly allow you to proceed but will not accelerate for up to 3 or 4 seconds, even if the gas peddle is fully pressed to the floor. My family and I have nearly been hit a number of times over the past 6 months that we've owned this car. Otherwise we really like this car but believe it to be unsafe because of this problem. The local dealership checked it out and agrees there is a problem and that toyota is aware of it but to date there is no fix. This is not a minor nuisance issue it's a severe safety issue and the nhsta needs to get involved to help pressure toyota to fix the problem before people are severely hurt or killed.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitates when she depresses the accelerator pedal from a stop.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. When driving 10mph out of the driveway the vehicle stalled. After a few seconds the vehicle began to accelerate. The manufacturer gave the contact a work order to have the dealer diagnose the failure. The dealer's conclusion was that the vehicle is computerized and it is trying to get used to the contact's driving habits. The current mileage was 7878 and failure mileage was 7678. The engine size and power train information were unavailable.
Throttle and transmission hesitation when starting out from stop, and when attempting to increase speed, ie: hazard avoidance, followed by speed overshoot. Cruise control over reacted to slight grade increase, such as an overpass, by down shifting the transmission 1 to 2 gears and accelerating past set speed by 7 to 10 MPH. Car will slow to set speed and repeat the down shifting and acceleration until the cruise control was turned off or the road was leveled. During long up hill driving the cruise control has to be turned off completely as it presented a great possibility of causing an accident. The dealer maintaied s that the engine, transmission, and cruise control operated normally.
2007 toyota camry se v6. The car has hesitated numerous times. Generally it happens when I am stopped or need to accelerate quickly to merge into traffic. It has hesitated several times after performing a turn and trying to accelerate after the turn. The hesitation generally lasts between 1-3 seconds.
