2007 Toyota Camry: wrong fuel gauge reading

Filed Mar 25, 2017 · Brakes, Electrical · 105,900 miles · GA

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

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.

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.

I initially began noticing that when the AC does not blow cold air when turned on that all of the gauges on my dashboard stop working including, speedometer dropping to 0 while I am driving so that I do not know at what speed I am driving, my gas gauge inexplicably drops to empty, lights on the dashboard stop working and my dashboard goes dark, RPM gauge flickers wildly, brake & ABS lights do not go off, and occasionally the car stops but with hesitation when braking, along with interior fogging of all windows when it rains (sometimes defroster/fans work to defog windows but sometimes it does not causing my visibility while driving to be substantially and dangerously reduced). During some online research, I believed that the issues might be related to an earlier recall so I called the toyota corporate office and they indicated that it may be related but to take the car to my local toyota dealership to confirm. I took the car to toyota of hollywood and the manager stated that it was not related to the recall and that the main computer was malfunctioning and causing the subcomputers to also malfunction and estimated a repair price of $2500. While I was doing my online research, it appears that many 2007 camrys are having the same exact issues I am having and in addition, the toyota camry hybrids had been recalled for the same issues as well. I do not believe I should incur the expense of repairs for issues that seem to be related to a manufacturers defect.

Vehicle has intermittent electric problems with the gauges and ABS module does not engage when braking.. Red ABS and brake light light on, and all gauges do not function except temperature and gas gauge .

The car speedometer stopped working while I was driving. The needle went to zero, the tachometer fluctuates out of control up and down, the ABS and brake lights come on, the lights that indicate what gear you are in turned off, the gas gauge appears to still work okay, but the mileage stops calculating although the digital display is still on just not counting mileage. I have no way to know how fast I am going or if my car will either not stop due to brake lights being on or just cut off since there seems to be some electrical malfunction. The air conditioning also stopped working. This happened the first time for about 10 minutes, then as quickly as it stopped, it started working again. It has now done this each day at multiple times during each trip for the past 3 days since the problem first started. Not knowing how fast you are going is a real safety issue and sounds like this issue has come up before with other toyota owners and should be recalled.
