DRIVING MY CAMRY, STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND MY ENGINE DIED. NO PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR AND NO INDICATION THERE WAS A PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND THAT THE ENGINE HAD BEGAN TO REV EXCESSIVELY , THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED A SMALL AMOUNT OF FLUID LEAKING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DID NOTIFY THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) ON 2/18/2010 MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS RECALLED AND REPAIRED AT PRINCE CHEVROLET IN TIFTON, GEORGIA. (VIN [XXX]). CAR WAS PURCHASE AT INNER STATE NISSAN IN TIFTON, GA>.ALL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WELL. ON 3/01/2010 MY CAMRY ACCELERATED AT A HIGH SPEED WHILE APPROACHING MY HOME AT [XXX] CAUSING ME TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE INTO A DITCH RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. FOR SOME REASON I WAS NOT ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE TO BACK VEHICLE OUT OF DITCH IN MY DRIVE WAY. BY THE TIRES CONSTANTLY SPINNING AN A HIGH RATE THE ENTIRE VEHICLE BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. EVERYTHING IS NOW GONE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CORP AND WAS ISSUED A CASE NUMBER (REF # [XXX] ). WHAT SHOULD I DO? AT THIS POINT ANY SAFE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION WOULD DO, FOR IT IS...

I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE VVTI LINE CAPTURED DRAINING ALL THE OIL AND SUBSEQUENTLY CAUSING A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE WAS SEEN AT OUR TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND OUR LOCAL MECHANIC ABOUT 4 TIMES DURING LATE 2008 AND 2009 FOR FREQUENT HIGH REVVING OF THE ENGINE AND RPMS. NO "FIX" EVER OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I AM VERY CONCERNED NOW WITH THE CURRENT RECALL, AND I'M CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TODAY. *TR

THE ENGINE OFTEN HESITATES FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS. THIS OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN I AM RAPIDLY ACCELERATING TO ENTER A FREEWAYOR SIMPLY PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I NEED THE CAR TO ACCELERATE TO ENTER FAST MOVING TRAFFIC BUT I CANNOT COUNT ON THE ENGINE TO RAPIDLY SPEED UP. AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS OF HESITATION, THE CAR THEN ACCELERATES TOO RAPIDLY. I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN EVERY EXCUSE IN THE WORLD AS TO WHY THE VEHICLE PERFORMS IN THIS MATTER FROM THE COMPUTER HAS TO "LEARN " YOUR DRIVING STYLE TO THAT IS HOW TOYOTA MADE THE VEHICLE. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND REBOOTED THE COMPUTER AND STILL THE PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD THE VVTI OIL LINE BREAK AND DUMP OIL AND HAD BEEN DRIVING LIKE THAT FOR...

I AM NOT SURE WHAT LED UP TO THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER ON DECEMBER 23, 2009 AT ABOUT 0515 AM PST I WAS NOTIFIED BY A CO-WORKER THAT A LARGE OIL PUDDLE WAS BENEATH THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE OIL LEAK WAS SUDDEN AND BEGAN TO DRIP OIL FROM ENGINE AREA CAUSING A BURNING SMELL TO EMIT FROM THE ENGINE. ON THAT SAME DAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER REMOVED AND REPLACED VVTI OIL LINE, TIMING CHAIN COVER, AND DRIVE BELTS. WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF A PREVIOUS TOYOTA LIMITED SAFETY CAMPAIGN LSC 90K SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY V-6. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE IDLING AT A STOP SIGN, SHE HEARD A CLUNK NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TOYOTA DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIANS COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE FAILURE. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26000. THE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 01/05/10. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE GAS PEDAL. UPDATED 01/07/10.*JB

TOYOTA HAS A REPAIR FOR THE HESITATION PROBLEM IN THE 2007 CAMRY I KNOW THIS BECAUSE MINE WAS REPAIRED BY MY DEALER AND IT ONLY TOOK 30-45 MINUTES I THREATENED WITH LAWSUITS TO TOYOTA AND MY DEALER TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM SO IF YOUR DEALER TELLS YOU THAT THE DRIVE BY WIRE IS MADE TO HESITATE ETC. THEY ARE FEEDING YOU A LINE . *TR

HIGH SPEED COLLISION INVOLVING A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. DRIVER WAS FAMILIAR WITH ROAD AND WAS NOT KNOWN TO DRIVE AGGRESSIVELY OR SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE SPEED LIMIT. POLICE REPORT PUT RATE OF SPEED AT TIME OF COLLISION AT LEAST 85 MPH. CONVERSATIONS WITH INVESTIGATORS INDICATE THAT SEVERITY OF COLLISION INDICATES SPEED MAY HAVE BEEN 100 MPH. POSTED SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. *FB2 UPDATED 03/08/10 *BF UPDATED 05/10/10*JB UPDATED 07/15/10 *BF ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO A TREE, TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ALSO CAUGHT FIRE. UPDATED 10/05/10 UPDATED 9/29/11*CW

THE VVT-I LINE FROM BANK 1 FAILED AND OIL LEAKED ALL OVER MY DRIVEWAY. THE CAR WAS 4.3 QUARTS LOW. NO SPECIFIC ACTION TOOK PLACE TO CAUSE THIS OTHER THAN A DEFECTIVE PART/DESIGN FROM TOYOTA. THE "FIX" WAS A REPLACEMENT PIPE SUB ASSEMBLY (P/N 15707-31030). APPARENTLY THERE IS A METAL REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLY BUT THEY PUT ANOTHER RUBBER PIPE INTO MY CAR. LET'S HOPE IT DOESN'T HAVE AGAIN AND ACTUALLY CAUSE SOME DAMAGE. *TR

CAR SPIT OIL FOR MILES AND ALL CARS LIKE MINE HAVE THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THIS BUT REFUSE TO FIX IT. I HAD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM OUT OF POCKET AND SEEING THE HISTORY WITH SO MANY PROBLEMS, I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SALE THE CAR. *TR

FIRST I HEARD A SQUEALING NOISE, THEN MY AC LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND BLOWING HOT AIR. I GOT HOME 5 MILES LATER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WITHIN 2 MINUTES A HUGE PUDDLE OF OIL COLLECTED ON THE DRIVEWAY UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE. *TR

2007 CAMRY XLE V6, THIS IS MY SECOND CAR (LEMON LAW REPLACED FIRST CAMRY AT 300 MILES NEW) AND 4TH TRANSMISSION, ALL COVERED BY TOYOTA. LAST WEEK ALL OIL DRAINED FROM VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING.. OIL SPEWED FROM UNDERNEATH VEHICLE FOR MILES. MY GIRLFRIEND CALLED ME AT WORK, ASKED ME TO CHECK MY CAR AS SHE SAW MY TRAIL OF OIL FOR 1/4 MILE.. TOOK CAR TO MY MECHANIC, FOUND A RUBBER HOSE, A CLAMP ON EACH END ABOUT 6 INCHES LONG, THE CLAMPS AND HOSE HAD TO BE REPLACED, BECAUSE OIL SPEWED OUT OF THIS PART. IF MY GIRLFRIEND HADN'T CALLED ME, MY ENGINE WOULD HAVE SEIZED. AS WHEN I CHECKED IT AT WORK A PUDDLE OF OIL WAS UNDER VEHICLE, AND THE DIP STICK SHOWED NO OIL IN VEHICLE. WHAT IF I WAS ON VACATION OR TRAVELING OUT OF STATE, MY CAR ENGINE WOULD HAVE BEEN DESTROYED. ENGINE WOULD...

CAR LOST OIL PRESSURE FROM BROKEN VVTI OIL LINE. OIL WAS ALL OVER ENGINE AND COMPLETELY ALL OVER THE BOTTOM OF CAR, DRIVEWAY AND GARAGE. STARTED SMOKING, NO WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON THE DASHBOARD. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE OIL PIPE WAS BROKE AND REPLACED AS PER TSB EG64-05. *TR

THE VVT-I OIL LINE FAILED DURING A LONG OUT OF STATE TRIP LEAVING FAMILY STRANDED AND HAVING TO RENT A VEHICLE TO GET HOME (VERMONT TO MARYLAND). GETTING A RENTAL WAS NOT FUN. THE WORST PART THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE 2007 CAMRY V6 ENGINES. THE CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE THE DAY PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED ALL HOSES, ETC. THERE IS A TSB OUT ON THE PROBLEM, AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED SINCE IT HAS BEEN OUT BUT NEVER LOOKED AT. *TR

WITHOUT WARNING, THE VVT OIL SUPPLY HOSE RUPTURED, SPRAYING ENGINE OIL ALL OVER THE ENGINE, UNDERCARRIAGE AND HOT EXHAUST OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE WITH THE 3.5 LITRE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE LOST ALMOST ALL OF IT'S ENGINE OIL IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS EVER CAME ON. TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AT PEAK OPERATING TEMPERATURES, THIS POSES A VERY SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD. AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE TOYOTA DEALER, I WAS ADVISED THAT THE RUPTURED HOSE WAS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND WOULD TAKE AT LEAST 5 WEEKS TO GET. I CONTACTED TOYOTA'S CORPORATE OFFICES AND WAS TOLD THAT PRODUCTION OF THE HOSES COULD NOT MEET THE DEMAND FOR THEM AND THAT IT MAY TAKE 5 WEEKS OR MORE TO GET THE PART AT MY LOCAL DEALER. I WAS INFORMED BY A...

SUBMISSION OF MOTOR VEHICLE DEFECT NOTIFICATION REGARDING HIS 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. REQUESTING A FINAL ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE CONTINUING SUBSTANTIAL DEFECT(S) OR CONDITION(S). **NAR** *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE THROTTLE STICKS, THE RPM'S STICK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN JULY OF 2008, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE RPM GAUGE WOULD JUMP BACK AND FORTH WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. APPROXIMATELY SIX WEEKS LATER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. WHEN THE VEHICLE FINALLY BEGAN TO GAIN SPEED, SHE DROVE TO HER RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN DRIVEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE RECALIBRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR INVESTIGATION. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

2007 CAMRY USES A PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AND A THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (DRIVE BY WIRE) SO THERE IS NO ACTUAL MECHANICAL CABLE BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE THROTTLE BODY. HOWEVER, HESITATES FREQUENTLY ESPECIALLY WHEN DECELERATING (THROUGH A TOLL OR FOR TRAFFIC) AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AT DEALER WHEN SERVICE, I WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. *TR

ENGINE REVS UP ON ITS OWN AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATES ONCE REACHING 95MPH W/O MY FOOT BEING ON THE GAS. THE BRAKES DO NOT RESPOND AT FIRST AND WHEN THEY DO THE CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY; IT TAKES ABOUT 3 TO 4 MIN TO GET THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN. PULLING THE HAND BRAKE DOES NOTHING. THUS FAR THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES. THE FIRST TIME ONCE I GOT DOWN TO 15MPH I JUST TURNED OFF THE MOTOR. THE OTHER TIMES THE CAR WAS PUT IN NEUTRAL THEN PARK WHILE THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AS IF IT WERE GOING 75 OR 80 AND THE TIRES WANTED TO ROLL THE CAR WAS JUMPING. EVERY TIME WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY AND LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MANEUVER BETWEEN THE TRAFFIC. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE OVERALL IT HAS...

ON OCCASION, MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY STALLS UPON ACCELERATION. THIS CAUSES EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP. I RETURNED CAMRY TO TOYOTA ONLY A FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASE- THEY REPLACED A SENSOR, BUT CAR STILL STALLS. I HAVE RETURNED CAMRY TO TOYOTA MANY TIMES FOR SAME STALL ISSUE. IN FACT, TOYOTA IS IN THE SHOP NOW WITH SAME COMPLAINT. THE ISSUE HAS NEVER BEEN REPAIRED. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 CAMRY IN JUNE OF 06. THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN KENTUCKY. THE FRONT AND BACK BRAKES HAVE SQUEALED ALMOST FROM THE FIRST DAY AND I STARTED REPORTING THE PROBLEM AT THE FIRST DEALERSHIP SERVICE. BOTH TSB'S HAVE BEEN APPLIED BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. A TECHNICIAN FINALLY HEARD A SQUEAK AND ANTI SQUEAKING LUBRICANT WAS ALSO APPLIED BUT ONLY LASTED A WEEK. LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP LAST MONDAY NIGHT AND THE DISTRICT PERSON CAME TUESDAY. THE RESPONSE WAS THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE SQUEAL SO COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. OF COURSE THEY SQUEALED TWICE ON THE WAY HOME. I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND FORTUNATELY THE TSB FIXED THAT PROBLEM. THEN THE BLACK WHEEL RIMS UNDER THE HUB CAPS RUSTED HORRIBLY AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THEM UNDER WARRANTY....

BAD SMELL COMING FROM THE AC WHEN IS INITIALLY TURN ON AND 5 DAYS AGO FIND OUT THE RUG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND BACK ON THE SAME SIDE ARE SOAKING WET. MECHANIC FROM THE DEALER STATED THAT ONE AC HOSE INSIDE THE CAR, UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD WAS TUGGED IN. THEN THE MANAGER STATED IT WAS THE OUTSIDE HOSE FROM THE AC. THEY STATE THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WATER DAMAGE. WANT COSTUMER TO PAY 1,480 TO CHANGE THE RUGS. ONLY 9,707 MILES, THEY ARE BEING DISHONEST TO THE CUSTOMERS. ALSO, SLOW ACCELERATION AND JUMPY RIDE. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY V6 IS BURNING OIL EXCESSIVELY, ALL SYMPTOMS INDICATE THAT THE OIL SKIMMER RING IS INSTALLED UPSIDE DOWN IN TWO CYLINDERS. THE VEHICLE IS SMOKING ONES IN A WILE BUT A LOT. MOSTLY AFTER DRIVING LONGER DISTANCE ON FREEWAY OR IN THE MORNING AFTER STARTUP, SOMETIMES AFTER LEFT TURNS THE OIL CHOKES THE ENGINE AT SOME POINT, CAUSING IT TO STALL AND THROWS EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF SMOKE. I FOUND OTHER CONSUMERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM IN CANADA WITH THE SAME MODEL AND SIMILAR AGE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLES HAVE LOW MILEAGE BETWEEN 8,000-3,0000 SUPPORTING THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT MAY BE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. TOYOTA REFUSED TO CURE THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE I DIDN'T KEEP MY RECEIPTS OF MY MAINTENANCE. I THINK A TRAINEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WRONG INSTALLATION OF THE PISTON RINGS AND MAY BE MORE OUT THERE. *TR

TERRIBLE HESITATION PROBLEM IN GENERAL ACCELERATION AND OVERALL LACK OF ENGINE POWER IN 2007 4 CYLINDER TOYOTA CAMRY. VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW 09/12/07, CURRENTLY HAS 6,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. A TOYOTA TSB WAS PERFORMED AT DEALERSHIP. DID NOT CORRECT PROBLEM. THIS IS A SCARY SITUATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MANEUVER IN ENTRANCE RAMP INTERSTATE TRAFFIC AND AND INSTANCE WHEN INSTANT ACCELERATION IS REQUIRED. THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN DAILY BY MY WIFE, AND WE ARE BOTH FEARFUL AND CONCERNED THAT SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE OF THIS CAMRY. *TR

THE CAR HESITATES UN-EXPECTANTLY WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM AND IS RANDOM. SEVERAL TIMES THIS CONDITION HAS NEARLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. DEALER CANNOT FIX PROBLEM BUT ACKNOWLEDGES IT IS A PROBLEM. *TR

GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH CAUSED THE CABIN FILTER TO FILL WITH WATER. AIR COULD NOT PASS THROUGH VENTS. VEHICLE SMELLS FOUL INSIDE. DEALER SAYS USING CAR WASH IS NOT RECOMMENDED AND SHOULD AVOID DRIVING IN HARD RAIN. NO ATTEMPT TO REPAIR WAS MADE. MY CAMRY IS NOT WEATHER-PROOF! *TR

WHEN PARKING ON THE DRIVEWAY IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD WITH ENOUGH THROTTLE TO PUT SKID MARKS ON THE GROUND AND PROCEEDED TO RAM INTO THE STRUCTURE. THE CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT IS UNKNOWN AS THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EXPECTED TO "RUN INTO OUR HOUSE." WHEN POWER TOYOTA OF CERRITOS SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE SITUATION THEY DENIED AN ISSUE EXISTED WITH THE VEHICLE. NUMEROUS MANAGERS WERE SPOKEN TO INCLUDING THE SHOP FOREMAN. THEY STOOD BY THE DENIAL. WHEN THE ISSUE OF THE 2007 TOYOTA TACOMA SUDDEN THROTTLE SURGING PROBLEM WAS BROUGHT UP, MANAGEMENT FINALLY CAME OUT TO THE VEHICLE TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE CAUSE BY THE COLLISION WITH THE STRUCTURE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATES OR STALLS WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL ALSO SURGES INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THEY STATED THAT THE OCCURRENCE WAS NORMAL FOR A NEW VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME THEY PERFORMED A FLASH ON THE ECM. THE VEHICLE PERFORMED NORMALLY FOR APPROXIMATELY 1,000 MILES, BUT THEN IT BEGAN HESITATING AGAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY,VERY SLUGGISH ON TAKEOFF AND STALLS ON OCCASION, THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY 4 CYLINDER. FAILS TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. CRUISE CONTROL OPERATES POORLY AND SURGES. *JB

FROM ALMOST THE FIRST DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAD HESITATION ( APPX. 1 TO 3 SECONDS) WHILE ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE HAS A FOUR CYLINDER ENGINE. I NOW SEE THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 CAMRY. *JB

OWN A 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY LE-V6. POOR ACCELERATION!!! DEALER PLAYED IT OFF AS IT'S A COMPUTER THROTTLE SO IT TAKES TIME FOR THROTTLE AND ENGINE TO COMMUNICATE!!?? SO IN OTHER WORDS LIVE WITH IT. VERY FEARFUL ON HIGHWAYS AS THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE TO KEEP UP WITH PASSING OR MERGING VEHICLES. HARD TO TAKE OFF FROM COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT HESITATION. VERY UNSAFE. NO RECALLS AT THIS TIME. HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE SINCE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE/COMPLAINT!! *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHEN DECELERATING TO STOP AND THEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE HESITATES FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO TO THREE SECONDS.

UPDATED 02-01-08. *KB

THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS IT MADE IT HAZARDOUS TO ENTER FREEWAYS I WAS TOLD A HESITATION OF 1 TO 3 SECONDS WAS NORMAL I HAVE SEEN THIS SAME COMPLAINT FROM OTHER OWNERS IN OTHER STATES, AND FEELT THIS WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. *AK

2007 CAMRY SE 4CYL. SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO HESITATION AND LACK OF ACCELERATION. WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC FROM A LOW SPEED OR FROM A DEAD STOP THE CAR BARELY RESPONDS TO THE ACCELERATOR. IT WILL SLOWLY ALLOW YOU TO PROCEED BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE FOR UP TO 3 OR 4 SECONDS, EVEN IF THE GAS PEDDLE IS FULLY PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE NEARLY BEEN HIT A NUMBER OF TIMES OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS THAT WE'VE OWNED THIS CAR. OTHERWISE WE REALLY LIKE THIS CAR BUT BELIEVE IT TO BE UNSAFE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CHECKED IT OUT AND AGREES THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF IT BUT TO DATE THERE IS NO FIX. THIS IS NOT A MINOR NUISANCE ISSUE IT'S A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND THE NHSTA NEEDS TO GET INVOLVED TO HELP PRESSURE TOYOTA TO...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHEN DRIVING 10MPH OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE VEHICLE STALLED. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THE MANUFACTURER GAVE THE CONTACT A WORK ORDER TO HAVE THE DEALER DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER'S CONCLUSION WAS THAT THE VEHICLE IS COMPUTERIZED AND IT IS TRYING TO GET USED TO THE CONTACT'S DRIVING HABITS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7878 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7678. THE ENGINE SIZE AND POWER TRAIN INFORMATION WERE UNAVAILABLE.

1/31/2007. TOYOTA CAMRY. ENGINE HESITATES WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. *MC THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE EXHIBITS INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATION IS NEEDED. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ENGINE HESITATED WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE HESITATION OF THE ENGINE LASTED BETWEEN 30 TO 60 SECONDS.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE HOW TO FIX IT.

ALSO, THE SUN VISORS DOES NOT REMAIN UP.

I PURCHASED A 2007 CAMRY LE IN LATE APRIL. FROM THE DAY I TOOK DELIVERY, THERE APPEARED TO BE A PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION; THERE WERE DEAD SPOTS. THAT LED TO LONG 3 TO 5 SECONDS LAG TIMES BEFORE THE CAR WOULD RESPOND WHEN PRESSING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO OVERDRIVE WHEN A STEADY ACCELERATION WAS ALL THAT WAS NEEDED. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY; I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD ALLOW A 'BREAK-IN' PERIOD TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF. THE MOMENT THAT I BEGAN TO DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM, I WAS STOPPED AND ASKED IF IT WAS A 2007 CAMRY LE. AN AFFIRMATIVE RESPONSE BROUGHT AN ANSWER THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO; IT HAD BEEN REPORTED TO TOYOTA. APPARENTLY TO DEFLECT WHAT MUST HAVE LOOKED LIKE RISING ANGER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE SERVICE MANGER'S DAUGHTER HAS THE SAME PROBLEM....

THIS COMPLAINT IS RE: A NEW 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE 4 CYLINDER WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR WILL HESITATE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE ACCELERATING FROM VIRTUALLY ANY SPEED (BEHAVIOR NOT SEEN WHEN ACCELERATING FROM DEAD STOP), REGARDLESS OF HOW HARD THE DRIVER PRESSES THE GAS PEDAL. PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN MOVING AT VIRTUALLY ANY SPEED AND THEN QUICKLY PRESSING AND HOLDING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN SO AS TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY. THIS BEHAVIOR IS NOT LIKE ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN, INCLUDING A RENTAL 2005 4 CYLINDER CAMRY THAT I DROVE FOR A WEEK IN THE COLORADO MOUNTAINS LAST SUMMER (2005). SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT CAR IS UNPREDICTABLE IN SITUATIONS WHERE ONE MUST MOVE THE CAR TO AVOID TRAFFIC. EXAMPLE: ROLLING FORWARD INTO A LEFT TURN AT A GREEN LIGHT INTERSECTION, PRESS GAS TO CLEAR THE INTERSECTION BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC GETS TOO CLOSE, THE CAR DID NOT...
