2007 toyota camry. Consumer writes in regards to struts repairs *tgw when the consumer took the vehicle for a regular maintenance check-up, he was informed the struts were leaking and needed to be replaced. The cost for the struts along with the alignment of the struts was $1100. The consumer for over three years about the brakes squeaking constantly and how bumpy the drive was.
I took my 2007 camry le (~30k mileage) in for 5k mile service (via my toyota prepaid maintenance contract 4 yr/55k.) & technician found a leaking front strut. I was told that I'll have to replace the strut & do the alignment for ~$1100 from my own pocket. He mentioned that the struts is heavily leaking. When I asked him, how it happened, he said that it didn't happen overnight & happens gradually. Since it is not under warranty anymore (toyota never told me about this leak on purpose, when it was under warranty), the guy said that I'll have to pay for all expenses. Toyota is a fraud company & should pay for all these damages for hiding the truth from customers so that they'll wait until the warranty is over & then they'll try to rip off the customer. I'll appreciate if some one can pay attention to this issue & ask for recall of these faulty struts as soon as possible, since there are too many complaints for 2007 toyota camry especially when you need to replace struts at so less mileages (~30,000) !!!!
I took my 2007 camry (approx. 36,000 mileage) in for 5000 mile service (oil change, fluid checks, tire rotation, etc.) technician found a leaking front strut. I was told they would replace the one strut. After checking online and speaking with toyota customer experience center at 1‑800‑331‑4331 a case number was opened and it was recommended by a technician that struts be replaced as a pair. Car has had a very floaty, bouncy, out of control feel on highway dips. It is saturday so I am awaiting a call on monday as to whether or not the dealer/service department will replace as a pair. I have toyota platinum coverage with no deductible so this should be free but I see enough complaints online regarding this issue to feel I should also report it.

We just moved to nevada and began noticing that after driving at highway speeds of 75mph that the car will make a rubbing, grinding sound in the front end for the next ten+ miles at low city speeds. It is definitely connected to the front wheels as the sound speeds or slows as the driving speed does. It is becoming longer after each trip to town. We drive 50 miles at the high speed to get to the metropolis. All driving is on paved roads. Concern that we may have front end problems driving at high speeds and possible accidents. Toyota has no place to request or look up the problem on their website.

Toyota camry 2007 - persistent vibration steering at highway speed - not being resolved by a series of attempts such as balancing, tire replacement, alignment, brake component replacement. The steering vibration was part of a toyota service bulletin but despite the specific instruction on how to fix the problem, the vibration was never eliminated. Lately, vehicle also showing vibration when braking - also at highway speeds. Brake repaired at dealer without results. Toyota dealer has provided no further resolution option. The concern is if this is a result of the original steering vibration with the vehicle showing further deterioration.

2007 toyota camry xle purchased in thousand oaks ca at dch toyota. Took car in for oil change service at independent repair shop in dec 2009 and was told that the one front strut and two rear struts were leaking. The car has approx. 43000 miles - they and I were both shocked that 3 out of 4 were leaking. Shop recommended that I replace all four struts for $1500. Was told if I didn't have them replaced it would eventually affect my suspension. Took car next to toyota dealer for recall, and had them check struts too. They indicated that only both rear struts were leaking, and recommended replacement too - not urgent but soon. Called another independent toyota shop - this shop said there was a technical service bulletin on this issue to clarify what is a true leak, and that I shouldn't worry. I am shocked that toyota dealer didn't mention service bulletin to me. So, I am not sure if this is a real problem or not. I will have struts looked at again at next service appt.
2007 toyota camry, took in for service and was told that the front struts were badly cracked, the car has 44000 miles. Was told that it was my fault that they were cracked, must be hitting potholes or driving over speed bumps too fast. Was told if I didn't have them replaced it would ruin my tires & breaks. Had them replaced but did some checking on-line and there are many complaints regarding this same issue-for some it was replacing the struts at 30000 miles. This doesn't seem right to me. Now the dealer, after I've presented this information has reimbursed me for the parts and then I was even offered a great deal on a brand new car. This seems very strange. Does toyota know something about struts and not owing up to it? Struts shouldn't go at 30,000 or 44,000 miles.
