2007 toyota camry *gr ***consumer has attached a complaint from another consumer *gr the consumer stated he had two corrections done to the throttle system and the acceleration which is still not normal, but acceptable compared to what it was originally. The cruise control was still faulty, but the consumer devised a way to work around the problem, not convenient but it worked. The consumer also complained about a delayed acceleration problem. The acceleration delay moved from 0 RPM to about 2000 RPM where it would go flat for about two seconds and then raced to about 4,000 RPM before settling down.

I was driving for work with my toyota camry 2007. While accelerating to get on the highway, around the end of the ramp, my vehicle suddenly accelerated with no controls working from the driver's seat either for the steering wheel or the brake. In a matter of a few seconds, the vehicle went a few times in a zig-zag manner and subsequently hit a semi-trailer which was southbound on the highway. My car was completely smashed in the front and totaled later. This incident occurred after my car went through the accelerator pedal replacement as per recommendation of the toyota recall procedure. I could have been easily killed in this accident. I got a traffic ticket for the first time in my life after having a ticket-free driving record for the past 11+ years. I am pleading 'not guilty' for this ticket because the defective toyota car was responsible for the accident and not my error.
I have toyota camry 2007. I had experienced the RPM shooting up in low acceleration. I took the vehicle to dealer for repair in early feb 2010, but the dealer detected no problem. However, as the problem persisted and it happened frequently, so I took the video of speedometer and tachometer, and went back to dealer with the video. Mechanics at the dealer tried to duplicate the problem with computer hooked to my car, and I drove the car with them. But again, the problem could not be duplicated. Dealer advised me that this has nothing to do with sudden acceleration of toyota vehicles, and asked me to come back if the problem persists. Toyota did not perform any repair at that time. However, after this visit to the dealer, I have not experienced the same problem as frequently. I may have noticed it few times in the past month although I feel that acceleration seem unsteady. No accident has occurred, and I do not have sudden acceleration problem as reported on the news. However, I am concerned that the problem I have might be related to the sudden acceleration problem. I would like to provide the video if it can help the federal safety agency's current investigation for sudden acceleration of toyota vehicles. The consumer felt the transmission temporarily disengaged or down shifted temporarily. The RPM jumped about 200-500 rpms momentarily. When it happened, the consumer felt an abrupt, but slight jerk, but it didn't accelerate in an uncontrolled manner. Updated 04/29/10
In 2007 we leased a new camry along with another new toyota product on the same day. My wife has had the accelerator stick on her and she had to use the emergency brake to stop the car and ran off the road. She narrowly avoided having a terrible accident in the car while my four year old daughter was in the car with her. The dealership picked up the car and attempted to fix it. The first time my wife drove the car the accelerator stuck again. They have since came and picked it up again and have had it for almost two weeks with no progress or solutions offered. The car is unsafe and they have no solutions to fix it. They tell us they're waiting on toyota engineers to come but have no date or time that will happen. My wife is terrified of the car and rightfully so. There are only 15 months left on the lease and we just want them to purchase the car back. It is leased through toyota financial. This has been going on for too long for them to have no solutions for a repair.
My car is a 2007 camry xlev6, and was not listed as part of the toyota recall (it has locking mats). Pulled into driveway at my home, with foot on brakes as I touched auto garage door opener on visor. Car gear was in d. As I removed foot from brake to gas pedal to pull into garage, and lightly placed foot on accelerator, instantaneously engine revved, pedal went to floor, tach zoomed and auto jetted into garage. I immediately hit brakes with both feet, attempting to disengage transmission from d and put into n. Gear shift erratically plunged into r and car began to go backwards with engine throttle wide open. Again, with tires squealing, smoking & laying rubber, I tried to jam gearshift to n or p, and car jettisoned forward hitting garage wall at full force. With millisecond recovery, I held onto gearshift ' all the time my feet were on brakes ' again tried to force it into p, and it again went to r, (must pass n and r to get gear into p) then again forward in another direct hit against garage wall, breaking the wall open and splitting sheetrock as auto nearly popped through to laundry room and gas furnace. I held the push-button in while simultaneously forcing gear shift again to reach p. Engine went from full-bore open to a stop. This event was so frightening. Had it occurred minutes earlier I was in commute traffic and in residential area returning home from metro. Pedestrians and schoolkids were in the area. I exited car to run into house, call for help. Damage to garage wall (and laundry area) is substantial, but was minimized to the auto due to a set of four tires against the garage wall which provided some cushion. Bluetooth phone (hands-free car) would not disconnect. I borrowed neighbor's phone to call husband and police/fire. Emergency firetruck team arrived to ensure no gas line break, fairfax police officer also on site. After repeated attempts & long wait times to talk with toyota, I was told not to move car, wait 10-30 days to investigate. Here sits.
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.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) 2007 camry accelerates at a whim for 2-3 seconds. It happens very in frequent, the last time about 3-4 months ago. Has been taken to dealer and they state can not do anything, unless it happens or is reproduced for them. I reported this by phone to the federal safety agency but have not gotten any feed back as I was told I would receive and e-mail and follow up letter. [xxx]
I own a 2007 toyota camry with a manual transmission and when only had around 500 miles on the vehicle the clutch started sticking and the dealer tried to act as if I didn't know what I was talking about until they tested it and it happened to them. A new clutch was then put in and I didn't have any problems until now. I now have 31000 miles on the vehicle and today as I was leaving out of the parking space at work the clutch stuck and I had to put the car in neutral and apply the emergency brake and wait until the clutch popped up. I was then able to drive home without any problems but 1 st thing on monday I will have it at the dealer. What I want to know is, have any similar problems been reported? If not then mine is the first and this should be checked into.
My 2007 camry hesitates when trying to accelerate from a standstill, and RPM keeps dropping from 2000 RPM to 1000 RPM for a second and back to 2000 RPM as I'm trying to maintain speed. It could make my car to slide on icy road because of this engine braking, and it happens every time I just touch gas pedal and let go RPM drops and goes back to cruising RPM all in 1 second. This happens as soon as I remove my foot of the gas pedal, causing like braking feeling. I told toyota dealership in guelph, ontario about this problem but their master service advisor craig allen says that is normal. I believe that there is electronic throttle issue.
After rice toyota in greensboro "fixed" my 2007 toyota camry on 2/27/2010 for both recalls I have experienced a sudden surge in acceleration twice. Once from a standing start when I slightly depressed the accelerator and the car suddenly took off at a much higher rate than I intended, the second time was in traffic while accelerating to a higher speed limit the car surged past the limit. Please look at the ecu's, this car hasn't been right since the first tank of gas was used, it's as is the ecu isn't allowing the timing to advance and retard properly.
Purchased a 07 camry from down east toyota in maine 6-2-07 noticed next day a dangerous hesitation problem with car, called det service dept 2-4-07 with complaint I was told to drive for a week so car could learn driving habits, so I did. Pulled into traffic several times that week and few times the car would hesitate and jump forward, on 6-11-07 called det service dept again because that morning trying to pull out of driveway car hesitated jumped forward almost hitting a ups truck, very dangerous!! While talking to service dept this time I was told that driving the camry for a week would not help the hesitation problem but not to worry because like the 07 v6 camry they had to pull all off the lot for transmission problems when and if toyota comes up with a fix they would let me know. I traded the camry back in because of the dangerous hesitation problem and lost 7000.00 in ten days?? When I questioned kevin kelly the general mgr I was told by him that he did hold a gun to my head to buy the camry or to trade it back in, and nothing I could do about loosing 7000.00 because he can do as he wants. The salesman don scott told us that the saturday he sold us our camry he sold three and two have come back because of this problem, tracy simpson at paper signing told us that she also heard of this problem. With being told no fix for a dangeous problem like this, trading a car back in 10 days losing 7000.00 is just wrong!!! Now to this date three tsb's out for this dangerous problem that becomes normal when tsb fail to fix problem. Is this dangerous hesitation problem related to the socalled floor mat turned to gas pedal problem?? Just not right for det or toyota to keep getting away with this???
2007 toyota camry pedal issues*cw the consumer stated twice in the 4 years he has owned the vehicle, the engine would rev while in park. The first time it happened, he thought he inadvertently hit the accelerator. However it happened more recently and he knows for a fact it had nothing to do with the gas pedal. Recently, the consumer noticed a serious hesitation problem while driving. Sometimes when the consumer pressed the pedal, the vehicle accelerated smoothly, other times it seemed as though there was no gas going into the engine, and then all of a sudden the vehicle would take off. The consumer believed the problem was transmission or fuel injected related.
There is a few seconds delay when depressing the accelerator pedal on my '07 camry se. I have mentioned this problem with the car from the very beginning to others who say they also have that issue with their camry. Any delay in acceleration is a safety hazard on the highway. Now with all the defects that toyota seems to have been denying with the acceleration system I realize it is even more grave.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry which was purchased brand new. While traveling 5 MPH and up and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slowly picked up speed and would often hesitate. The dealer could not duplicate the failure and advised the contact that the vehicle was operating according to the manufacturer's specifications. There was an open recall on the vehicle (the federal safety agency campaign id number: 10v017000, vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal) and the related repair was performed. The failure persisted. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that since the recall repairs were performed on the vehicle they would not assist any further. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was approximately 50,000. Updated 5/10/10 *cn the consumer stated the vehicle would hesitate upon acceleration. There was a delay when attempting to accelerate. Updated 09/16/10
3-4 second delay in response time when making a fast lane change - enough time to cause a serious accident. This happened once in heavy city traffic and once in the evening when there was little traffic. The dealership performed an ECM calibration enhancement to correct another problem of hesitation with the acceleration & then a quick surge forward. This was performed after the first incident; however, it did not correct my current problem as the hesitation happened again (the 2nd time) after the calibration. Discussed this at length with the dealership. I was informed that the ECM calibration was the only "fix" provided to them and that since I still had the problem, I would have to be very careful to not press the accelerator quickly to make a fast getaway as the computer is not able to pick up the signal that quickly. They could only suggest that I never press the accelerator quickly - try that one when you have to move out of the way fast. I am not trying to make something more of this than it is. There are some much more serious problems reported on the internet than this one. However, it is serious. When you cannot get gas when you need it, it is serious. There is apparently a problem with their electronics.
I have 2007 camry. While driving between 40 and 60 MPH, when I peddled the accelerator the car does not pick up/accelerate. The RPM goes from 2000 to 4000 RPM, and after a couple of seconds of delay car picks up. It's very dangerous, especially, while merging onto a freeway where there is no shoulder lane and you have to merge in really fast. The dealer said it's a problem with the software and they updated the software in my car. I still have the same problem and it occurs frequently in winter. I went to the dealer recently and they said there is nothing wrong with the transmission, it's just the way 2007 models are. In other words, they made a piece of junk in 2007 and now they can not do anything about it. I am hoping to see the recall for this issue soon.
As I was pulling into the curb to park, my 2007 toyota camry accelerated and crashed into a building in quakertown, pa. I put it into reverse and stopped the car. Damage to the brick building was extensive. Property damage amounted to $14,500 and auto damage at $750. Replacement parts were installed in the auto. Brickwork and interior damage was taken care of.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated as he was driving 15 MPH the vehicle started to accelerate at a uncontrollable speed. He put his feet on the brakes and the gear in neutral the vehicle slowed down but as he waited for about five minutes before moving. The vehicle motor kept revving.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact was driving approximately between 40-55 MPH on normal road conditions when the accelerator pedal began to stick. There was an application of excessive force to the brake pedal with both feet. The vehicle skidded and loss control and suddenly, the accelerator pedal released. The driver was able to gain control and resume to normal operation. The failure occurred constantly at least three times a week. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on nine separate occasions for the identical failures. There were replacements of the transmission control module (TCM) and transmission. The failures continued which there were no resolutions. The failure mileage was unavailable.
The following e-mail was sent to you december 2007. "with all of the problems toyota is having with the 2007 camry transmissions, why have they not had a recall? The slip, buck and when you take your foot off of the gas pedal around 40 miles an hour, the car continues to go forward." why didn't you people do something years ago?????????????
The new 2007 camry has always had an uneven acceleration and slowing. It is as though the transmission is always "searching" for the correct gear. As a result, the engine is always changing speeds. During the initial repair, the service manager stated that they have "a lot" of these types of complaints and said the software was updated. On subsequent repairs I was told the same thing and that toyota could not repair the problem that the 2007 camrys had. When I asked about serious damage to the transmission or accidents I was told that I have a warranty. I e-mailed toyota but did not receive a response. I believe this is a potential safety issue and am uncomfortable driving the vehicle.
