2007 TOYOTA CAMRY Equipment Problems

MY DASHBOARD OF MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS COMPLETELY MELTED AND IS CAUSING MY VIEW TO BE OBSTRUCTED BY THE SUNS GLARE WHEN DRIVING. TOYOTA WILL NOT REPLACE OR FIX THIS. *TR

MY 2007 CAMRY SMELLS HORRIBLY LIKE MOLD AND MILDEW. THE MOLD IS IN THE A/C BUT I CAN'T GET SUNNYSIDE TOYOTA TO REPLACE THE A/C AND CLEAN THE VENTS. WHAT DO I DO? I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN MARCH 2006. I FINALLY FOUND A DOCTOR WHO COULD DIAGNOSE WHAT WAS WRONG. THE MOLD IN THE A/C OF MY TOYOTA HAS CAUSED MY LEG MUSCLES TO BE WEAKEN SO I HAVE ALOT OF PAIN WALKING AND A LARGE BUMP ON MY LEG. TOYOTA HAS BEEN NICE BUT WON'T CLEAN OUT MY A/C OR VENTS AND WON'T ADMIT THIS IS A VERY VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2007 CAMRY. I AM HIGH SENSITIVE TO MOLD AND IT HAS CAUSED ALOT OF SICK DAYS, DOCTORS APPTS, AND PAIN. I WOULD LIKE THEM TO REPLACE THE A/C AND I AM SURE THERE WILL FIND THE MOLD. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) OCTOBER - DECEMBER 2009 ON TWO (2) SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ACCELERATED WITHOUT APPARENT CAUSE. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED AFTER I HAD BEEN SHOPPING AT THE HUNTINGTON MALL FOR CHRISTMAS. I WAS COMING UP TO A REDLIGHT BEHIND SEVERAL AUTOMOBILES WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED. I VEERED TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID HITTING THE AUTOMOBILE IN FRONT OF ME AND BRAKED AS HARD AS I COULD. I ALSO PUT THE AUTOMOBILE IN PARK AS SOON AS I COULD. BEFORE THIS, I HAD AN INCIDENT OF SLIGHT ACCELERATION, BUT I DON'T RECALL EXACTLY WHEN OR WHERE-JUST THAT I MENTIONED TO MY HUSBAND THAT I FELT THE CAR DIDN'T WANT TO STOP WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE. ON JANUARY 6, 2010, I TOOK THE CAMRY TO THE DEALERSHIP IN WHICH I PURCHASED IT FOR...

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...

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY RECALLED HAD THE NEW PARTS INSTALLED @ DEALERSHIP. AFTER WHICH I EXPERIENCED THE ACCELERATOR STICKING AND NOT SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT PRESSURE TO BRAKES. RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, FOUND NO FAULT CODES AND RECHECKED THE FIXES THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED. THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS, THE CAR DOESN'T DECELERATE WHEN YOU LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND IN FACT HAD AN INSTANCE OF IT SPEEDING UP AND DECELERATING FREELY ON IT'S OWN. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AS THEIR COMPUTERS DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT AS THE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE THERE IS CLEARLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

WAS PARKING MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN PARKING LOT BETWEEN TWO CARS WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED CAUSING ME TO HIT TWO CARS IN THE SPACES ADJACENT TO THE PARKING SPACE I WAS ENTERING. THESE CARS WERE IN FRONT OF THE SPACE I WAS ENTERING. THIS OCCURRED AFTER RECALL REPAIRS TO THE GAS PEDAL WERE MADE ON 2/11/10. *TR

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...

I AS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, CAR ACCELERATED - JUMPED A CURB, HITTING A TREE AND BROKE MY NOSE,AND DAMAGED THE WHOLE FRONT OF MY CAR.. ON JUNE 27, 2009 I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AGAIN, CAMRY ACCELERATED HITTING THE SUV IN FRONT OF MY CAR. TOOK IT IN TO PAULY TOYOTA IN CRYSTAL LAKE, IL AND THEY SENT ME AWAY SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY 2007 CAMRY. I ALSO HAD TWO VERY NEAR ACCIDENTS, BUT I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME. I AM DEATHLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL ACCELERATE AGAIN. AND THE DEALER REFUSES TO HELP ME OUT. PLEASE HELP ME! *TR

ON 6-12-2009 APPROXIMATELY 5PM. I HAD AN INCIDENT WITH MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WE WERE ON VACATION, DRIVING TO SOUTHERN SHORES, NC. STOPPED AT: THE VIRGINIA DINER GOT IN THE CAMRY. TO START THE CAR THAT IS EQUIPPED WITH THE OPTION, SMART KEY, YOU MUST DEPRESS THE FOOT BRAKE AND PUSH THE START BUTTON TO START THE ENGINE. AGAIN, TO PLACE THE CAR IN GEAR, THE FOOT BRAKE MUST BE DEPRESSED. I PLACED THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RACE WITH THE BRAKE BEING PUSH AS HARD AS I COULD, THE CAR COULDN'T BE HELD. IT MOVED BACKWARD. I HIT A PARKED PICKUP TRUCK AND DROVE IT INTO A SUV PARKED NEXT TO IT. THE INCIDENT TOOK ONLY SECONDS. I EXCHANGED INFORMATION WITH THE OWNERS OF THE DAMAGED VEHICLES. SOMEONE CALLED THE SUSSEX CO. SHERIFF, WHO ARRIVED, CHECKED FOR INJURIES. THERE WERE NONE AND HE SAID, THAT...

SINCE THERE IS RECALL ON THE TOYOTA CAMRY I HAVE ONE. WHY HAVE I NOT RECEIVED A LETTER THIS COULD PUT ME AND MY CHILD IN DANGER OR KILL BOTH OF US. I THINK IT IS WRONG THAT I HAD TO HERE IT FROM THE TV INSTEAD OF FROM THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS. NOTHING HAS HAPPEN TO MY CAR YET AND HOPELY NOT. BUT HOW CAN I MAKE SURE IT WILL BE SAFE AND IF NOT WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO GIVE ME SOMETHING ELSE TO DRIVE IF THIS DOSE NOT FIX THE PROBLEM*CW

WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN HWY 77 ARKANSAS CITY KANSAS, MAKING A PASS SHE LOST CONTROL AFTER SHE SLID OFF SHOULDER AT BEND OF THE ROAD. OUT OF THE MULTIPLE AIR BAGS ONLY ONE DEPLOYED THE PASSENGERS SIDE CURTAIN. AFTER REVIEWING THE CRASH SITE AND READING REPORT THE FIRST HIT TO THE CAR WAS DRIVERS SIDE FRONT END, IT WAS A VERY HARD HIT. STEERING BAG SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF AS IT DUG INTO A TURN AROUND MOUND. WENT UP AND DOWN WIDE MEDIAN DITCH STARTING A SIX TURN ROLLING OF THE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. SHE WENT OUT SUN ROOF EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD SEAT BELT ON. MEDICAL REPORT STATS SEAT BELT MARKS AND SEVERE LEG INJURIES. SHE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AND I'M LUCKY TO STILL HAVE HER. I WILL USE ALL MEANS TO FIND OUT WHY THE SO CALLED SAFETY FEATURES ON THIS CAR DID NOT PREVENT SOME...

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT OF THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. EMITS A STRONG MUSTY MOLD SMELL. THE COMPANY IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING. DEALERSHIP PERFORMED A TEMPORARY FOAM TREATMENT THAT MIGHT LAST A YEAR AND SPRAYED A CHEMICAL INSIDE THE VENT SYSTEM. THE POSSIBILITY OF MOLD IN THE SYSTEM EXISTS AND COULD CAUSE SEVERE AGGRAVATION OF ALREADY EXISTING ALLERGY PROBLEMS. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. I THINK IT'S TIME TO HOLD TOYOTA ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN MARCH 2006. THIS NEW VEHICLE HAD SEVERAL DEFECTS INCLUDING THE REPLACEMENT OF A DASH BY THE DEALER AFTER DELIVERY. THE QUALITY OF THE BRAKE ROTORS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE UNSATISFACTORY. I HAVE HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 46,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD TWO INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS EVALUATE THE FACTORY ROTORS AND THEY BOTH COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION, POOR QUALITY ROTORS. IT'S NOT HOW THE VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED SINCE WE ARE NOT CAUSING ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THESE ROTORS TO WARP THE WAY THEY DO. WE DO NOT DRIVE OUR VEHICLES HARD, JUST TO CAUSE MORE MAINTENANCE EXPENSES. TOYOTA HAS PAID FOR REPLACING THE ROTORS ONCE. THEY HAVE ALSO CHARGED ME TWICE FOR THE SAME WORK AND I HAVE PAID TWICE TO ANOTHER AUTO SHOP. I TRIED TO FILE A COMPLAINT THROUGH TOYOTA AND THAT WAS USELESS....

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH SUDDEN ACCELERATION WITHOUT WARNING. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND CAME TO REST AFTER HITTING A BUILDING. SHE STATED THERE WAS OVER $8,000 IN DAMAGES. *KB THE CONSUMER STATE THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE FLOOR MATS. *JB

ON SATURDAY 1/12/08 THE ACCELERATOR ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY STUCK TO THE FLOOR!! I PUMPED THE PEDAL A FEW TIMES BUT THAT DIDN'T FREE IT. I HAD TO SLIP IT INTO NEUTRAL AND CUT THE ENGINE. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COAST INTO A PARKING LOT BUT WAS HIGHLY UPSET! I LOOKED DOWN AND DID NOT SEE ANYTHING INTERFERING WITH THE PEDAL, SO I PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND STARTED IT UP AND PUMPED THE PEDAL AGAIN. IT SLOWLY CAME OUT. (IT FELT AS THOUGH HYDRAULIC PRESSURE HAD BEEN RELEASED.) I PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND SLOWLY PULLED FORWARD. IT SEEMED OK SO I DROVE IT SLOWLY STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER. WHEN I GOT THERE I TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. (IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHEN MY 68 YR. OLD MOTHER IN LAW WAS DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL IN THIS CAR AS SHE USUALLY DOES, I DON'T THINK...

THE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE 4CYL AUTOMATIC SEDAN EXPERIENCED HESITATION, UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND COMPLETE LACK OF RESPONSE TO THE DEPRESSION OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL; TWO TIMES CREATIING SITUATIONS THAT EASILY COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TRYING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGH-SPEED LANE OF A HIGHWAY. I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE CAR DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, THEN ROARED TO LIFE, BUT TOO LATE. I HAD TO BRAKE BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE IT. THEN, ABOUT A YEAR LATER THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AND THE ENGINE REVVED TO 6000 RPMS, AND WOULD NOT COME DOWN. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER AND SHUT IT DOWN. BOTH OF THESE TIMES I BROUGHT IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THE MOST RECENT TIME, AFTER THE STUCK ACCELERATOR PEDAL INCIDENT, THEY HAD IT ALL DAY AND SENT IT HOME WITH A SERVICE...
