STARTED MY CAR, NOTICED OIL LAMP CAME ON THEN OFF. PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AND OIL LAMP LIGHT FLASHED AGAIN. OIL LIGHT CAME ON AT LEAST A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES. CAME TO TRAFFIC LIGHT, CAME TO A SOFT STOP TO OBSERVE TRAFFIC BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO TURN RIGHT. CAR THEN SHUT OFF AND ALL INDICATORS WERE ON, SUCH AS, BATTERY, ENGINE LIGHT, OIL LIGHT, AND AIR BAG. I PROCEEDED TO RESTART CAR. NO PROBLEM WITH RESTART, OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO FIND OUT WHY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND DUE TO FEAR! TOYOTA EMPLOYEE TOLD ME THEY WOULD DO A DIAGNOSTIC ON MY VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE TO FIND CAUSE OF SHUT DOWN. PLEASE NOTE, I DID AN OIL CHANGE OCT.15, 2013 AND NOV 18, 2013 CAR SHUT DOWN! AFTER ARRIVING AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY CAR CHECKED TO FIND...

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. MY CAMRY HAS ACCELERATED ON MANY OCCASIONS, HUNDREDS OF TIME, OFTEN TIMES, DAILY. IT HAS NEVER CAUSED AN OVERRIDE PROBLEM, BUT THE RPMS DO GO UP IMMENSELY. IT IS NOT THE GAS PEDAL, I CAN ASSURE YOU, BECAUSE I KEEP MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL TO SEE IF THAT IS THE PROBLEM. MY BROTHER IN LAW, A CAR MECHANIC GURU ASSURED ME IT WAS THE NEW MOTOR SYNCHRONIZATION, SO I NEVER REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO MY LOCAL DEALER. I HAD A 2005 CAMRY, THIS NEVER HAPPENED TO THAT VEHICLE. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN ACCIDENT, BUT ALMOST DAILY, IT DOES ACCELERATE. THESE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM, IT IS REAL, AS FAR AS TAKING OVER THEIR VEHICLE, COULD BE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY I HAD A ACCIDENT IN THE VEHICLE ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2009 IN JACKSON, TN. I TOLD THE OFFICERS AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY THAT I TRIED TO STOP BUT WAS UNABLE TO I ALSO TOLD THEM THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG IT WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I WENT INTO A DITCH. TWO DAYS LATER TOYOTA DID A RECALL ON THE FLOOR MATS. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE FLOOR MATS THIS YEAR IN FEBRUARY 2010. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAD THE WRONG NAME AS BEING THE OWNER AND SAID THEY WOULD GET ME THE RECALL INFORMATION MAILED TO MY HOME. THE COMPANY DID SEND ME THE INFORMATION I CALLED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HER AND THEY TOLD ME I COULD BRING MY VEHICLE IN. IT STATES ON THE PAPERS THAT TOYOTA WILL REPLACE THE PEDAL WITH A NEW ONE IF I WANTED TO...

CAR DOES NOT RESPOND IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. I FEAR THAT IT IS RELATED TO THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE PROBLEMS REPORTED IN TOYOTA CAMRYS. I HAVE A 2007 MODEL. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT, BUT I'VE HAD A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS IN THE PAST YEAR. *TR

I OWN 2-2007 CAMRY. 1. ALREADY WHEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL FOR ONE OF THE CARS. I STILL FEEL STICK PEDALS AND SOME ACCELERATION, NOT TOO MAYOR BUT I FEEL IT IN HIGHWAY AS WELL IN STOP SIGN. THE OTHER CAR (THIS ONE HAVE A BIG PROBLEM I FEEL MORE THE PROBLEM IN THIS ONE MORE THAN THE OTHER)WILL BE IN THE DEALER 3/17/2010 TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HOPE AND THIS WILL WORK CAUSE WE'RE AFRAID OF DRIVING THIS CARS. A).-GAS PEDALS AND BRAKES. *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...

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. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WHICH HAS A STICKY GAS PEDAL. IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHILE I WAS SLOWLY PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. MY CAR RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE TO UNDER CARRIAGE AND FRONT SPOILER AS DIRT AND DEBRIS BECAME DEEPLY EMBEDDED. *TR

TOYOTA CAMRY RECALL WAS "CORRECTED" LAST MONTH, AS TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ISSUE. THE ACCELERATION NOW SEEMS MORE ERRATIC THAN BEFORE. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WAS A PEDAL PROBLEM, RATHER AN ELECTRONIC ONE. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR ON THE OPEN ROAD BUT AM SCHEDULED TO DO SO SOON. I AM 72, IF I SHOULD HAVE A PROBLEM, I'M SURE THAT TOYOTA CORP. WOULD ATTRIBUTE IT TO MY AGE OR SOME OTHER EXCUSE. THE PEDAL IS NOT CONSISTENTLY RESPONSIVE ON ACCELERATION, SEEMS TO HAVE A DELAY AT TIMES, THEN SUDDENLY KICKS IN. IT IS INCONSISTENT ENOUGH THAT THE DEALER CAN TEST IT AND FIND NOTHING WRONG. I WOULD LIKE AN OUTSIDE EVALUATION BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS TO ME OR TO OTHER OWNERS IN THE SAME SITUATION. *TR

THE GAS GOT STUCK ON OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. WE INFORMED OUR DEALER WHEN WE WENT FOR THE SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE, AND THEY INSURED THAT EVERYTHING WAS OK. NOW, WITH THE NEW TOYOTA DEVELOPMENTS, WE WENT BACK TO A DEALERSHIP TO RECEIVE THE MODIFICATIONS ON MY GAS PEDAL. BUT THEY SAID THAT MY GAS PEDAL MODEL IS ONE THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS AND DOES NOT NEED ANY MODIFYING. THEY DID CLAIM TO HAVE SANDED DOWN THE PEDAL TO PREVENT IT FROM GETTING STUCK UNDER THE FLOOR MAT, AND THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY INSTALLED NEW SOFTWARE THAT WOULD OVERRIDE THE GAS PEDAL WHEN I SLAM ON THE BRAKES IF IT DID EVER GET STUCK AND BEGIN TO ACCELERATE FREELY. WHEN WE ASKED FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS SOFTWARE, NONE COULD BE PROVIDED. ALSO, WHEN WE SPOKE TO OUR ORIGINAL DEALER, THEY DENIED...

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAD THE RECALL FIXES FOR THE GAS PEDAL AND MAT INTERFERENCE COMPLETED LAST WEEK. AS A RESULT OF THAT "REPAIR" THERE IS A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL, AND THE VEHICLE IDLES VERY FAST IN REVERSE AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT DISENGAGE PROPERLY. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK VSC CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON, WE CONTACTED THE TOYOTA ON FRIDAY AND SAID IT WAS NOT RELATED TO THE "REPAIR" AND THAT IT WOULD CLEAR BY ITSELF, IT HAS NOT. *TR

I LEASE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING UP A HILL. BECAUSE I WAS ON A HILL I GAVE THE CAR A LOT OF GAS. HOWEVER, THE GAS PEDAL SEEMED TO GO FURTHER THAN I INTENDED AND THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND HIT THE BREAKS, WHICH STOPPED THE CAR WITHOUT INCIDENT. I HAD TO TAP THE GAS PEDAL A FEW TIMES TO GET IT TO DISENGAGE. TOYOTA APPLIED THE GAS PEDAL RECALL 'FIX' A FEW DAYS LATER. HOWEVER, I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY HAVE NOT CORRECTLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE GAS PEDAL WENT DOWN FURTHER THAN I PRESSED IT, MEANING THERE MAY BE SOME ELECTRONIC OR OTHER PROBLEM RATHER THAN 'STICKING.' I KNOW YOU HAVE MANY SUCH COMPLAINTS, BUT I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO DETERMINE IF TOYOTA'S REMEDY IS ADEQUATE. THANK YOU. *TR

WE BOUGHT 2007 CAMRY IN JULY OF 2007. MY WIFE DROVE IT TO WORK AND GOT AN ACCIDENT ON 12/5/07. WHEN SHE EXITED HIGHWAY, SHE USED GAS THEN USED BRAKE TO REDUCE THE SPEED. THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK. THE CAR SPED OUT OF CONTROL AND HIT THE SIDE OF HILL. THE CAR WAS ROLL OVER TO ONE SIDE AND TOTALED. MY WIFE WAS BADLY INJURED AND WAS SENT TO HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM. SHE GOT SOME CUTS IN HER HEAD BY THE BROKEN WINDOW AND SHE HAD TO STAY AT HOME FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE GOING BACK TO WORK.WE BELIEVED SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BRAKE OR GAS PEDAL. AND WHEN THE CAR HIT THE SIDE OF HILL, NONE OF CAR SAFETY AIR BAGS CAME OUT. THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND PAID BY OUR INSURANCE. BUT THIS ACCIDENT GAVE HER A LONG TIME FEAR AND BAD FEELING WHEN SHE...

WE BOUGHT A 2007 CAMRY FROM GRESHAM TOYOTA IN JUNE 2006. WE IMMEDIATELY HAD THROTTLE PROBLEMS. PROBLEMS INCLUDED: 1. STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL AND HAVING THE ENGINE REV UP TO HIGH RPM'S BUT NOT GOING ANYWHERE. THIS CONDITION HAS HAPPENED ON 2-3 OCCASIONS PER WEEK. THIS CONDITION WOULD HAPPEN ACROSS A VAST ARRAY OF CONDITIONS. YOU WOULD START TO MERGE INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND IT SEEMED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DISENGAGE. NEARLY CAUSING MANY ACCIDENTS(NEAR MISSES).AT OTHER TIMES YOU WOULD PULL AWAY FROM STOP SIGN AND AS YOU ENTERED THE INTERSECTION THE ENGINE WOULD REV AT HIGH RPM'S AND THE CAR WOULD GO NO WHERE. LEAVING YOU SITTING IN THE INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC BEARING DOWN ON YOU.. UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING. NO RESPONSE FROM THE CAR! 2. OTHER TIMES YOU WOULD BE DRIVING ALONG AT 30-40-50 MPH AND THE CAR WOULD WILDLY ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL FOR NO REASON. AGAIN...

I BOUGHT MY TOYOTA CAMRY BRAND NEW FROM ED MORSE TOYOTA OF DELRAY BEACH FLORIDA IN AUG 2007, IT WAS A BRAND NEW 2007 CAMRY LE, SIX CYLINDER, I REPORTED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE CAR WOULD STOP OR HESITATE, THEY NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM, TODAY ON 3/16/2008 AT 11:02AM THE HESITATION CONTRIBUTED TO ME HAVING A SEVERE ACCIDENT AND WAS REPORTED TO FHP REPORT# FHPL090FF014673 I HAD BROUGHT IN THE VEHICLE FOR HESITATION ISSUES ON 10/17/2007,11/28/2008, 2/25/2009. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM LOCAL DEALER. VEHICLE HESITATES ON ACCELERATION MAKING IT SCARY TO PULL OUT INTO MOVING TRAFFIC. DEALER EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS NORMAL SINCE THE ACCELERATOR IS NOT A MECHANICAL LINKAGE BUT A "FLY BY WIRE" SET UP AND RAPID ACCELERATION CONFUSES THE COMPUTER. VEHICLE ALSO LOCKS ITS OWN DOORS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. *TR

HELLO, WHEN MY CAR IS FULL FUEL I CAN HEAR THE FUEL MOVING AND SPECIALLY WHEN I HIT BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

HELLO, WHEN MY CAR IS FULL FUEL I CAN HEAR THE FUEL MOVE AND CAUSE NOISE WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE. *TR

2007 CAMRY STARTED OUT GETTING 32-34 MILES PER GALLON. AFTER DEALERSHIP DID 10,000 MILE CHECK, CAR ONLY GETS 19-24 MPG. WHEN I BROUGHT CAR IN TO DEALERSHIP WITH THIS COMPLAINT, THEY SAID THAT 24 WAS GOOD MILEAGE FOR THE CAR. IT IS ONLY 4 CYLINDER. SHOULD GET BETTER MILEAGE THAN THAT. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS A HESITATION AND TRANSMISSION NOISE PROBLEM DURING ACCELERATING AT STARTUP AND WHEN YOU RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR AND STEP ON IT AGAIN. THIS BECAME NOTICEABLE A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER WE DROVE IT HOME. I BROUGHT IT BACK FOR SERVICE SEVERAL DAYS AFTER. THE DEALER SAID EVERY THING CHECKED OUT. THEY DID NOT TEST DRIVE IT BECAUSE THEY SAID IT CHECKED OUT. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF TRYING DIFFERENT GASOLINES AND DIFFERENT OCTANES RATINGS FROM DIFFERENT COMPANIES I GAVE UP. THEN WE TOOK A TRIP FROM OUR HOME IN TEXAS TO A OUR HOME TOWN IN LOUISIANA. I HAD TO FILL UP IN MY HOMETOWN AND THAT'S WHEN I DISCOVERED THE POSSIBLE PROBLEM. THE GAS IN HOUSTON TEXAS HAS ETHANOL IN IT. THE GAS IN MY HOMETOWN DOES NOT. WHEN I FILLED UP IN MY HOME TOWN WITH REGULAR UNLEADED FROM EXXON, I NOTICED THAT THE HESITATION...

"HESITATION PROBLEM" DUE TO A POSSIBLE SOFTWARE GLITCH. DEALER HAS RECALIBRATED WHICH DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. FUEL ECONOMY NOT AS LISTED BY TOYOTA (33 HIGHWAY/24 CITY) WHERE I ONLY GET 26 HIGHWAY AND 14 CITY. *TR

HESITATION ON ACCELERATION- AFTER EXITING THE INTERSTATE AND TURNING CORNER, I CONTINUED TO ROLL BUT THE 07 CAMRY LE 4 CYL DID NOT RESPOND. APPROXIMATELY, 50 YARDS LATER, THE CAR ACCELERATED. *NM
