Letter from senator warren on behalf of constituent in regards to toyota unwilling to fix car. *ld the consumer stated the vehicle experienced excessive engine oil consumption. The manufacture was notified and denied assistance due to the vehicle not being located in USA. The consumer is in the united states military stationed in germany. Therefore, the manufacturer would not honor the warranty. The consumer believed the manufacturer should make an exception for military personnel. Updated 09/20/2017*js
I have an excessive engine oil consumption problem so on march 2016, I go to the dealer to check and said that my car pass the test without any suggestion to follow on, I still has this problem and even more serious so I go back to check then the dealer said once pass is not their issue ,I wonder what is the standard the pass or not pass and I call the main toyota office to ask for help and they said ,I can ask for the second test but I just pass their extended warranty that is just pass half a month ago. My question is I know my car has the problem but I has no suggestion what to do and they keep delay the care of my car until the warranty is gone . Actually my first approach this problem is still under the warranty period but that is not count?? I do not trust toyota car any more and I am so worry about the safety of myself everyday while I driving this car. My car is just 10 years pass and driving only 97320mileages when I ask them about my worry second time. Hope any good suggest and help from you otherwise I need to give up my car.
The car using 1qt of oil every 300 miles , toyota ran oil consumption test , told me nothing wrong with the car , the car still using the same amount of oil .
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 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.

- 2007 camry has been consuming unreal amount of engine oil. - I took it to the delearship; and they mentioned replacement of pistons will be covered under factory warranty but if the engine is damaged they will not cover it. At this point, I am not even sure the piston is not working as it was supposed to. - the car was bought brand new and the defect on engine was brought to our attention only a month ago in 2015.
I was driving the camry when I reached a complete stop my check engine light came on, didn't really notice any change, two days later I notice gas consumption has increased. I took the camry into dealer, dealer diagnosed the check engine to be a faulty o2 sensor. Replaced o2 sensor and drove off to pick up my kids from school, as we are driving home, I came to a traffic light, I stopped and check engine light and ABS light came on idle was disrupted briefly. I proceeded and when trying to stop car the brake pedal had become very tight to were I had to stomp on brakes with all my might to get car to stop. Drop kids off at home waited 15 minutes and started vehicle, ABS light was off but check engine remained on, brake pedal was almost back to normal. I drove car to dealer again, the dealer said it is a faulty brake booster which is allowing too much air into system which in return signals for more fuel to be pumped to compensate vacuum leak. Brake booster not covered under extended warranty, and very costly 1,363.16 parts, labor and taxes, not counting the 4 day rental. This concerns me because I believe this to be a safety issue, if it were my wife driving the camry with my kids she would not be able to stop the vehicle without any warning. Toyota needs to make this a safety recall before something tragic happens. I looked at toyota forums and it seems I'm not alone, brake booster for several other toyota models have gone bad, after 100,000 miles some at 70,000. 2007 toyota camry seems like a horrible guinea pig car.
The accelerator would not work even with acceleration. The engine is on but the accelerator pedal would not work.
Vehicle leaks or burns oil in excess from unknown location or undisclosed location by manufacturer. No oil visible on ground underneath car . Engine was not getting adequate lubrication due to this problem and thus caused engine failure. Vehicle was no longer able to accelerate on freeway and had to be pulled over putting vehicle owner at risk and other drivers on road in danger. The engine is now damaged and is unable to be repaired despite proper maintenance and recommended oil changes as per dealership and owners manual. The engine now has to be replaced. This leakage has been reported by over hundreds of unsatisfied customers and has purposely been disregarded by manufacturer despite the numerous complaints received and made by 2007 toyota camry owners. Many of which suffered like this owner and had to pay out of pocket for a new engine despite this being a manufacturer defect that has been neglected.
I was parking my car and when I went to stop car and turn it off, I experienced unexpected acceleration. Car jumped the curb and crashed into the concrete barrier of the parking garage.
Noticed my car had a knocking sound took it in to my mechanic to see what the problem was. I'm very particular about my car. The mechanic called to inform me the oil levels were extremely low, while he noticed it was close to needing an oil change but the levels shouldn't have been that low. His observation was my car is burning oil too fast. He called the dealership to question if there was an recall of such and the associate at the dealership mentioned a silent recall of this matter. He then informed me to take it in to the dealership, in which we did and was informed due to the powertrain warranty has expired I could pay $5000+ to rebuild my motor or get my oil changed ever 3000 miles instead of 5000 miles. This I thought was a problem cause when I purchased my new 2007 camryi was informed to change the oil every 5000 miles. It seems to be a manufacture defect cause I'm faithful about servicing my car and only take it to the dealership for oil changes and this should have been communicated to me a while ago. I'm hoping it doesn't cause any motor problems in the future.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that the fuel tank heat shield became separated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the heat shield metal failed due to electrical charge and corrosion. The fuel heat shield was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 38,345.
Started my car, noticed oil lamp came on then off. Proceeded to drive and oil lamp light flashed again. Oil light came on at least a total of 5 times. Came to traffic light, came to a soft stop to observe traffic before attempting to turn right. Car then shut off and all indicators were on, such as, battery, engine light, oil light, and air bag. I proceeded to restart car. No problem with restart, oil light never came on again. I took car to toyota dealership service department to find out why vehicle shut down and due to fear! Toyota employee told me they would do a diagnostic on my vehicle free of charge to find cause of shut down. Please note, I did an oil change oct.15, 2013 and nov 18, 2013 car shut down! After arriving at a toyota dealership to have my car checked to find out why it simply shut down, then all of a sudden there was no time to do a check to find out what caused my car to shut down without warning. The manager gave me a very simple reason as to why and what caused it to shut down. Manager told me I have an oil leak inside the engine of my car. Manager stated I didn't have to buy a new engine, but I needed to do a 100-500 oil dip stick check. Why was the dip stick down to nothing in the first place? Why was there no oil in my car? Technician never put oil in my car. Toyota is responsible for damage to engine as a result of their mishandling of vehicle and making false statements regarding me. Toyota is responsible for stress on of my toyota 2007 camry engine. My life and that of others at risk because of toyota..
On nov. 23 2012 I was driving on the highway 61 in winona, mn "all of a sudden" my car speed was dropping from 65 MPH to 15 MPH in a matter of second and the check engine light came on. I have fight for my life to get out to the side of the highway. When the car stop I check the engine run fine, but when I step on the gas pedal nothing happen. I put the car into drive gear and it only go as fast 10 to 15 MPH. This is the first time in my life that I see this thing, I would like to "warn" all camry drivers becareful you may not have the luck I have. I make an appointment to the dealer for inspection.
2007 toyota camry. Consumer writes in regards to check engine light illuminating. *tgw the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, where a diagnostic test revealed the charcoal canister needed to be replaced at a cost of $ 607.90.
During driving or in a stop light the warning lights of vcs system lights up without any reason and then went to normal. I've noticed then that this usually happened when some weighted vehicles passed beside mine that caused a rough road movement or some high loud. One time passed just before a routine checkup (oil & filter). I called back to the service and told me that it was a resetting of the car system.???? This has passed for a few times every year but this time the warning lights still and it shown a diagnosis with abnormal leak in the accumulator which I've told that this should not be happened in an hybrid model.
2007 toyota camry. Consumer writes to express discontent regarding poor mileage and acceleration issues *tgw the consumer stated the engine idles very high and running hot. The consumer stated he recently hit another vehicle, when it accelerated out of control.
I have a 2007 toyota camry. My camry has accelerated on many occasions, hundreds of time, often times, daily. It has never caused an override problem, but the rpms do go up immensely. It is not the gas pedal, I can assure you, because I keep my foot on the pedal to see if that is the problem. My brother in law, a car mechanic guru assured me it was the new motor synchronization, so I never reported the problem to my local dealer. I had a 2005 camry, this never happened to that vehicle. There has never been an accident, but almost daily, it does accelerate. These people that have the acceleration problem, it is real, as far as taking over their vehicle, could be.
Car does not respond immediately when the accelerator pedal is depressed. This happens intermittently. I fear that it is related to the electronic throttle problems reported in toyota camrys. I have a 2007 model. I have not had an accident as a result, but I've had a couple of close calls in the past year.
I own a 2007 toyota camry I had a accident in the vehicle on september 17, 2009 in jackson, tn. I told the officers and the insurance company that I tried to stop but was unable to I also told them that something was wrong it would not stop until I went into a ditch. Two days later toyota did a recall on the floor mats. I found out about the floor mats this year in february 2010. I contacted toyota and found out that they had the wrong name as being the owner and said they would get me the recall information mailed to my home. The company did send me the information I called the local toyota dealership her and they told me I could bring my vehicle in. It states on the papers that toyota will replace the pedal with a new one if I wanted to wait for it in and that they would replace the older all weather floor mats and clean the carpet. This did not happen for me I now have the same dirty floor that I had before I took it to them and now I'm riding in a rental car because since they put the reinforcement bar on my car the check engine light has come on and I'm afraid even more to drive the car I took it to the dealership and they told corporate that I would have to pay them to check out the car and my manual says that if this light comes on that it is the electronic throttle, the dealership told me it could be up to 200 different things and that unless I pay for this they would not do anything to assist me I can write a letter to the claims department but there is no guarantee that they will reimburse me for my rental or for fixing the vehicle, also that my floor mats are now aftermarket mats and the will not do anything to them either nor my floor please do something they are not fixing these vehicles and are not standing by there word I can not afford to pay anymore money to get this vehicle fix and detailed and I have no other means of transportation. The people at corporate say they are sticking by the dealership and I need to pay to get this fixed!
I own 2-2007 camry. 1. Already when to the dealer for the recall for one of the cars. I still feel stick pedals and some acceleration, not too mayor but I feel it in highway as well in stop sign. The other car (this one have a big problem I feel more the problem in this one more than the other)will be in the dealer 3/17/2010 to try to fix the problem. I hope and this will work cause we're afraid of driving this cars. A).-gas pedals and brakes.
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 feb 10, 2010 my 07 toyota camry accel pedal stuck on me, 5 days after the recall was done on it. It revved from 2000-4000 rpms, I had to brake hard for it to stop and regain control. Took it into toyota, they looked at it, returned the car and told me "nothing was wrong." on march 4, 2010 it happened again, this time it accelerated from 20 MPH to 40 MPH in a split second, and I almost hit the car in front of me. Again I had brake hard to gain control of my vehicle. Toyota again looked over my car, and again came up with nothing wrong with my car. So that is two times after the recall was completed that my has accelerated. It also did accelerate before the recall.
I have a 2007 toyota camry which has a sticky gas pedal. It suddenly accelerated while I was slowly pulling into a parking spot. My car received minor damage to under carriage and front spoiler as dirt and debris became deeply embedded.
Toyota camry recall was "corrected" last month, as to the accelerator pedal issue. The acceleration now seems more erratic than before. I do not believe it was a pedal problem, rather an electronic one. I have not taken the car on the open road but am scheduled to do so soon. I am 72, if I should have a problem, I'm sure that toyota corp. Would attribute it to my age or some other excuse. The pedal is not consistently responsive on acceleration, seems to have a delay at times, then suddenly kicks in. It is inconsistent enough that the dealer can test it and find nothing wrong. I would like an outside evaluation before something serious happens to me or to other owners in the same situation.
2007 toyota camry 4 door this has taken off at high rate of speed 3 times since last july 21st 2009.
The gas got stuck on our 2007 toyota camry and the car accelerated on its own. We informed our dealer when we went for the scheduled oil change, and they insured that everything was ok. Now, with the new toyota developments, we went back to a dealership to receive the modifications on my gas pedal. But they said that my gas pedal model is one that does not have any problems and does not need any modifying. They did claim to have sanded down the pedal to prevent it from getting stuck under the floor mat, and they also said that they installed new software that would override the gas pedal when I slam on the brakes if it did ever get stuck and begin to accelerate freely. When we asked for information about this software, none could be provided. Also, when we spoke to our original dealer, they denied that we ever reported this incident.
My 2007 toyota camry had the recall fixes for the gas pedal and mat interference completed last week. As a result of that "repair" there is a strong gasoline smell, and the vehicle idles very fast in reverse and the cruise control does not disengage properly. Also the check engine light traction control and check vsc control lights come on, we contacted the toyota on friday and said it was not related to the "repair" and that it would clear by itself, it has not.
On may 19, 2009 I was involved in a rear end accident. This occurred due to a faulty accelerator mechanism that caused unexpected burst of speed.this was the was the only occurrence of this problem. Toyota had a recall and did the required repairs.
