Just purchase a 2007 toyota camry le from sterling mccall toyota a few months ago and now just finding out that the car has a oil consumption issue with no indication that the engine had ever had and problems now it's a the engine has possibly blown out or locked because of this issue it will not start. I paid for this vehicle in full in cash from the dealer I'm trying to find out how to get my money back for the vehicle sale price and the other minor repairs that I made to this vehicle. The vehicle could have killed me and my children it just turned off while we were driving home during the day, almost caused a car accident.

I own a 2007 toyota camry se and for the past several months I have been having issues with my car not starting if it is on unlevel ground. I assumed it was something in the gas I had recently purchased but that does not seem to be the case. If my car is parked on unlevel ground, I now have to place the gear in neutral and push the car to a level ground in order for it to start. I recently had it checked out by a mechanic and he told me that it had to be a sensor in the fuel pump causing my car to respond in one of two ways: 1) there was no gas in the tank or 2) the antitheft sensor was on and the car doesn't start if the vehicle has been stolen. I had a full tank at the time so option 1 was definitely not the case. This issue is continuous, is anyone else having this issue where your car won't start if you are on unlevel ground??? ...updated08/20/15 *bf the consumer stated the manufacturer was contacted.

I had my oil changed about 5,000 miles previously to a moment when my oil light came on barely, and then flashed back off. I decided to check it, just in case, and found that I was totally without oil. I went to toyota and they informed me that it was simply because I had waited longer than six months to have an oil change. I got the oil change, and the problem continued. They then began an "oil consumption check" where I bring the car in every 1000 miles to see if it has consumed too much oil. At this point in my oil consumption check, after about 3000 miles, I've burned about 1.5 quarts oil, according to them. The car now has about 45k on it, and I say it shouldn't be burning so much oil. The car also doesn't start as responsively as it ought to. The oil also looks very dirty. Toyota continues to tell me this is normal, but many customers are having similar issues I've noticed in online forums, etc., and I suspect toyota is avoiding taking responsibility for an engine problem.

My 2007 toyota camry le's driver side sun visor last week start to droop down and would not stay in the up position causing an obstruction of my driving view. I had to turn the visor to the side but that eventually stopped rotating too. It turns out the metal insert had come out and was no longer providing any traction to the visor. Apparently there have been multiple other complaints regarding the same issue with toyota camry's around that year's model. It was definitely a safety issue and I had to remove the visor manually for my own safety and found that the parts inside were damaged. My suspicion is that it was poorly constructed since my 1998 toyota camry has had no sun visor issues after 13 years of wear and tear. Luckily I noticed problem and did not start driving immediately. I had to use my left arm to hold the sun visor up for my drive back home. This is an extreme safety issue as this can potentially cause significant visibility issues and lead to accidents and deaths. This problem needs to be fixed and recalled by toyota. Thank you for your time.

S10 appropriate handling re toyota problems fm owner of a 2007 toyota camry. *tgw when the consumer attempted to start the vehicle, it wouldn't start.

A couple of week later, oil was on the garage floor. The consumer returned to the dealer and they replaced the seal again.

Vehicle surged and had delayed acceleration. Also, had an episode of not being able to go over 10 MPH, and had a strong burning smell. Vehicel slipped out of gear under sustained and steady speed, and also between first and second gears when accelerating.*ak the dealer said they could find nothing wrong, and most of these symptoms (surging/delayed acceleration) were normal for the camry. This is not normal. This is dangerous. The next day the vehicle wouldn't start at all. Dealer had it flatbedded to them. Replaced ecu computer. This did not fix the slipping transmission or the engine surging or delayed acceleration. This vehicle is hard to control speedwise due to not knowing if the car will go when pushing on the gas pedal. Sometimes there is up to a three second delay, other times it surges to high RPM and you shoot forward. A very scary car to drive. Dealer won't/cant fix.
