2007 Toyota Camry suspension problems

Filed Sep 21, 2024 · Body, Suspension · MA

1)BODY- The body of the vehicle (paint) seems to be chipping and/or rusting at an increasingly rapid rate with no known causes. This rusting is causing the value of the car to plummet as I am trying to sell the vehicle. It first appeared in about 2019 and has been getting steadily worse without any way to stop it. 2) SUSPENSION- On every single Toyota I’ve owned (4) the struts wore very quickly and are NOT a cheap fix. I had to at one point, fix them more than once in the same vehicle. I was told by the repair tech that it is a common issue seen in Toyotas. If a strut goes while driving it can cause major safety issues for the driver. 3)WHEELS- The hubcaps more specifically speaking, on every Toyota I’ve owned, have also had an issue maintaining its hubcaps. One rolled off on the highway and nearly caused me to crash as it hit the side of my car and slid under the rear tires and made me slide all over the snowy highway. Luckily there weren’t many vehicles on the road or it could’ve been catastrophic. I also notice that the light for the tire pressure never turns off either. I can fill the tires, empty the tires, it does not matter, the light will never go off.

The front dash assembly is melted over time and is so bad I cannot see out the front windshield. I told the dealership that I believe this was a recall and they said it was but that the specific job for that expired ? I didn’t know recalls expired. They are willing to fix the current situation with the current system failure of the over heating window switches but a major problem is the visibility up front. I have to wear sun glasses just to see through that horrible glare from the melted dashboard. Also not sure if their is any suspension issues with my 2007 Toyota Camry. The steering wheel shakes some and I’ve purchased new tires wheels and some rotation balance and alignment and no additional work or parts where needed to fix that problem. The alignment did reduce some steering wheel shaking but it’s getting worse again. Any help would be appreciated and if we could get the Dealership to fix the front dashboard that would be phenomenal. Thank you.

I have been change oil by toyota dealer, regularly on and off, since bland new. But once a while, I took different shop to change parts. About 2012 I learn that I have problem with strut, when I was replacing tires. So I went back and I complain about the strut to kearny mesa toyota, san diego, but they told me it is still okay to drive as it is, but about 2014, I starting having problem with my tires, so I went to toyota poway, they told me I need to replace sturt along with tires, so I request to replace strut and tires and they called me the bearing need to be replace as well. I was really mad and I contact the toyota, and kearny mesa toyota contact me they will replace bearing for me. Now after 2 and half years with a little over 20k mile on the vehicle it started to having strut leak problem again. I contact the toyota poway, they told me I need to replace strut need to replace again. I contacted the toyota and they don't want to help this time.

Driving down a hill after leaving home, when the brakes were applied, the vehicle swerved back and forth violently almost changing lanes. Afterward, it wobbled side to side and up rocked up and down as I limped it home at very low speed. The lower right rear control arm, the one that can be adjusted, was extended causing the right rear wheel to be cocked inwardly at the leading side of the wheel and tire. A week or so later, the car was towed to les schwab tire center, 10340 sw canyon rd, beaverton, or 97005, (503) 643-9446. They reported the long threaded adjusting sleeve had its threads stripped and the part failed. This shop had last inspected the car in august of 2016 during a tire rotation. They performed a 4 wheel alignment in conjunction with the purchase of a set of tires in about prior to that. I have photos of the condition as I discovered it on my phone. I can e-mail or text them separately. At present, I do not know how to download them into my computer to include them with this report. I have instructed les schwab to keep the part for me. They will repair and align the car today or tomorrow. I will take the part to beaverton toyota for inspection when the work is complete. There was no incident, accident, abnormal curb contact, etc. With the car. The car's mileage is 177+k. After I determined the car needed repair, I kept it at home until I could inspect it and determine the problem. I had the car towed to les schwab today.

I am contacting you to report the issue I am having with my toyota camry. I had to spend ~$2,500 to replace all four struts with only 36,000 miles on the car. This should not happen on a well maintained car (I follow the maintenance schedule regularly) at such a low mileage. This issue can make driving hazardous since it will impact breaks and traction. I had the maintenance done in nov 2014 at my regular dealership in green brook, nj and also got the car inspected for ny registration renewal in march 2015. Both assessments reported that everything was ok with the car. However, during my visit to the dealership on july 3rd 2015, I was told that I need to replace all fours struts, a total cost of ~$2500. I have driven only ~ 2,000 miles between my two visits to the dealership. I was completely stocked to hear this. When I researched online, I saw several complaints about strut issue at low mileage with 2007 camry. And it is not a normal situation for struts to leak at such a low mileage. Being a responsible driver, I have gotten all the repairs done. However, this appears to an issue with this model and not just my car. And potentially defective model/part. I am hoping that you will look into this and help identify whether toyota should take responsibility for this repair/replacement. Not every person with this issue will be willing to spend such a hefty amount to get appropriate repairs done immediately. And many may not even realize that there is an issue. This is a safety concern not just for the owners but also others.

Car has for some times been making clunking, knocking noise from steering . Car was inspected by my mechanic and was told the steering intermediate shaft must be replaced, called toyota & was told no coverage to cover the repair.
