2007 TOYOTA CAMRY Power Train Problems

Had the vehicle progressively speed up at a high rate of speed was not due to the floor mats as that had been fixed along time ago on a recall before . I had to throw the car in neutral and then push the brake and power button for the vehicle to slow down safely ( happened twice ) . Both times not back to back on occasions months in between . Then one day had issues with the brakes and the vehicle not wanting to stop had the issue looked at by certified mechanic said my physical brakes on all sides front and back were visible sound and nothing to be causing the issue I was having . Just the other day started the vehicle as normal it warmed up went thru my day and then my radio still visible but sayin INSERT MAPS DVD ( that’s the only...

CAR CONTINUES TO SLIP AND REV UP DURING MANY UP-SHIFTS OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN. AFTER SOME TIME THAT IT HAS WARM ENOUGH IT WILL STOP DOING IT, BUT IT ALWAYS SLIPS AND REVS UP BETWEEN THIRD AND FOURTH SHIFT. ITS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR FEW YEARS NOW, BUT NO ONE HAD SHOWED UP WITH A RIGHT SOLUTION.

TRANSMISSION FAILS AFTER DRIVING IN REVERSE. GEARS CAN BE CHANGED WITH THE LEVER BUT TRANSMISSION DOESN'T ENGAGE THE GEARS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF AND NO OTHER INDICATORS ARE PRESENT.

WHILE DRIVING ACROSS NEBRASKA (POSSIBLY JUST INSIDE WYOMING) HEADING TO COLORADO ON SUN JUNE 29TH, ON I-80 (VERY LONG, 80MPH SPEED-LIMIT HIGHWAY), MY CAMRY WITH 215,000 MILES SUDDENLY GAVE A 'CHECK HYBRID ENGINE' CODE, WHICH CAUSED THE GAS-PEDAL TO BE UNRESPONSIVE. THE CHECK ENGINE SYMBOL ALSO CAME ON. THE ELECTRONIC 'TRIP INFORMATION' DATA-GRAPHIC SHOWED MY HYBRID BATTERY WAS DOWN TO ONE PINK-LINE SUGGESTING LOW-POWER IN THE HYBRID BATTERY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SMOOTHLY. OVER THE COURSE OF TWO HOURS WAITING FOR A TOW-TRUCK THAT NEVER ARRIVED, I TURNED THE VEHICLE ON/OFF A FEW TIMES TO VERIFY THE ON-BOARD GPS FOR OUR LOCATION (ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WITHIN THE VEHICLE STILL WORKED). AT AROUND THE TWO HOUR WAITING-MARK, WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON, THE 'CHECK HYBRID ENGINE' ALERT AND THE CHECK-ENGINE SYMBOL BOTH DISAPPEARED, & I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE THE VEHICLE THE ADDITIONAL 50+ MILES TO...

MY AUNT BOUGHT BRAND NEW 2007 CAMRY AND TRANSFER TO ME 2-2018. NOTICE THAT ENGINE SOUND NOT RIGHT. HAVE TO CHECK OIL EVERY WEEK. ENGINE BURNING OIL A LOT, HAVE TO PUT 1 QUART EVERY 1200 MILES, ONLY 67500 MILES AND NOW STARTING TO HEAR KNOCKING NOISE. CALL TOYOTA AND THEY SAID WARRANTY EXPIRE. REPAIR AT OWNER COST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING UPHILL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO DISENGAGE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CASE NUMBER: 1803150976 WAS OPENED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED THE CRUISE CONTROL REQUESTED POWER, ELECTRONIC FAILURE BETWEEN CRUISE, ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION, CAUSING ENGINE RPM TO ACCELERATE WITH NO POWER FROM TRANSMISSION. I HIT BRAKE PEDAL TO KEEP ENGINE FROM BEING DAMAGED. FEW SECONDS LATER TRANSMISSION THUMPED/CLUNKED. TRANSMISSION DAMAGED FROM THAT POINT. I DROVE CAR WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL TILL NEW TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED. UPDATED 10/15/18*JB

MY VEHICLE DOES NOT BURN ENOUGH OIL. I HAVE ZERO OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. TOYOTA IS A GREAT COMPANY. EMPLOYEES SHOULD GET A RAISE TODAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE EXITING THE VEHICLE WITH THE GEAR IN PARK, THE VEHICLE MOVED AND DROVE OVER THE OCCUPANT'S LEGS. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED TWO BROKEN ANKLES, CUTS, AND BRUISES, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I WAS DRIVING INTO MY GARAGE AND HAD JUST BRAKE TO LET IT EASE IN. MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE, WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY REVVED AND LUNGED FORWARD. THE BRAKE WOULD NOT WORK, AND IT WAS AS IF THE CAR HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. IT HIT THE CRATE THAT WAS IN FRONT OF THE WALL, AND FORCED A BIKE RACK THROUGH THE WALL. THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY CAR WAS CRACKED IN PLACES. THE CAR THEN STOPPED. SO SCARY! I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT TALK TO ME. I NEEDED TO CALL THE CORPORATION, WHICH I DID. AFTER TWO MONTHS OF WAITING ON A DECISION, I WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR, AND THAT'S THAT. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER INCIDENTS WITH TOYOTAS JUST LIKE MINE. I AM PETRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR, AND...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK INTO ANOTHER GEAR. IN ADDITION, WHILE REVERSING, THE GEAR FAILED TO CHANGE OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AGAIN TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE CONDITION CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE GEAR SHIFTER IN REVERSE WITHOUT THE KEYS BEING IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE COASTED BACKWARDS AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

THE FLEXPLATE SHREDDED FROM THE MOUNTING TO THE ENGINE AND TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED WHILE IT WAS AT THE TOYOTA SERVICE GARAGE. IT ALL FELL APART AS THEY WERE DISMANTLING IT. THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY CAUSING THE POWER TRAIN TO SEIZE UP AND DISCHARGE FLYING METAL.

THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES. FIRST STICKY DASH BOARD .. WAS TOLD I'M BEING PUT ON A WAITING LIST FOR PART. IT'S BEEN MONTHS STILL NO WORD. 2ND OIL CONSUMPTION IS RIDICULOUS. . OIL RUNS OUT WAY BEFORE IT'S TIME FOR OIL CHANGE EVERY TIME .. NO OIL LEAKS ANYWHERE .. CAR JUST BURNS OIL SUPER FAST NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WITH ANY CAR I'VE OWNED ..3RD THE CAR VIBRATES WHEN IN YOU HIT AROUND 40 MPH AT 1.5 RPM DOESNT DO IT AS MUCH WHEN CAR DOESNT GO IN OVERDRIVE IN 4TH GEAR .. WAS TOLD THIS MAY BE A COMPUTER PROGRAMING ISSUE .. 4TH MY DRIVER SIDE BACK SEAT MAT IS MELTED TO THE FLOOR. I WAS TOLD SOMETHING UNDER THE CAR MAY BE GETTING TO HOT. NEVER GOT ANY REAL ANSWERS TO MY CONCERNS .

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IT HESITATES TO SWITCH GEARS FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. AS YOU ACCELERATE. AT TIMES THERE IS A JERK AS IT IS DOING SO. THIS CAUSES ME TO EITHER SLOW DOWN OR SPEED UP UNTIL IT GOES INTO GEAR.

WHILE DRIVING RPM IS FLUCTUATING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO FEEL LIKE IT IS DOWN SHIFTING WHEN NOT DECELERATING. THIS MAKES IT FEEL LIKE IT IS CAUSING UNNECESSARY STRAIN ON THE TRANSMISSION......UPDATED 12/08/15 *BF

THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP 3 YEARS AGO AND IT ONLY HAD 42,000 MILES. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DID NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND WOULD JERK SUDDENLY AS IT SHIFTED IN LOWER GEARS. RECENTLY I WAS HEARING NOISE FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHERE THE TRANSMISSION IS LOCATED. BROUGHT IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THAT ORIGINALLY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE WATER PUMP AND THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE DIAGNOSIS DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME AND SUSPECTED MAYBE THE DEALER DIDN'T WANT TO ADMIT THAT THE TRANSMISSION THEY HAD REPLACED WAS HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION. THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE CAR HAS NEVER LEAKED FLUID AND HAS NEVER OVERHEATED WHICH ARE SYMPTOMS OF WATER PUMP PROBLEMS. I DECIDED TO HAVE THEM CHANGE THE WATER PUMP SINCE...

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, AND AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP I HEARD A WARNING DING, LOOKED DOWN, AND MY DASHBOARD READ "LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE." I FOUND THAT WARNING ODD CONSIDERING I HAVE ONLY PUT 2,000 MILES ON MY CAR SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE, I HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY OIL LEAKS IN MY PARKING SPOT OR UNDER MY CAR, AND I HAD MY TRANSMISSION SERVICED FOUR WEEKS AGO AND THERE WAS NO MENTION OF ANY LEAKS BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN. I PULL INTO THE WALMART PARKING LOT CLOSE BY, CHECK MY OIL, AND OIL LEVELS ARE NOT REGISTERING ON MY DIPSTICK. I QUICKLY BOUGHT 2 QUARTS OF THE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED WEIGHT OF OIL, PUT THEM IN, AND WENT DIRECTLY TO MY SERVICE STATION. THE SERVICE STATION TOOK ME IN IMMEDIATELY, COMPLETED THEIR INSPECTION, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANY LEAKS ANYWHERE. IN...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND LOST POWER. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

CAR, SINCE NEW, HAS AN ISSUE WHERE IT SEEMS TO STALL WHILE ACCELERATING MODERATELY TO WOT FROM A SPEED RANGE BEGINNING AROUND 30-35MPH TO AROUND 50MPH BASED ON CERTAIN CONDITIONS. MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN ACCELERATING TO ENTER A HIGHWAY OR TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE/PASS. THE POWER OUTPUT OF THE ENGINE SEEMS TO BE PULLED BACK BY THE ECM (LIKE TOYOTA'S TRACTION CONTROL) AS IT DOES NOT SEEM TO LUG LIKE A MANUAL IN TOO HIGH A GEAR. THERE IS NO INITIAL SHIFT DOWN OF THE TRANSMISSION. IN JUST OVER A SECOND, THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY SHIFTS DOWN TO THE NEXT GEAR BUT IT IS STILL NOT ENOUGH AS THE ENGINE OUT PUT IS LOW DUE TO THAT GEAR BEING TOO LOW IN THE POWERBAND. SUDDENLY, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS DOWN TO THE NEXT GEAR, BEING THE APPROPRIATE GEAR FOR THE ENGINE LOAD/SPEED, THE POWER ON THE ENGINE KICKS UP (265BHP) AND CAUSES...

NOTICED MY CAR HAD A KNOCKING SOUND TOOK IT IN TO MY MECHANIC TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I'M VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT MY CAR. THE MECHANIC CALLED TO INFORM ME THE OIL LEVELS WERE EXTREMELY LOW, WHILE HE NOTICED IT WAS CLOSE TO NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE BUT THE LEVELS SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THAT LOW. HIS OBSERVATION WAS MY CAR IS BURNING OIL TOO FAST. HE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO QUESTION IF THERE WAS AN RECALL OF SUCH AND THE ASSOCIATE AT THE DEALERSHIP MENTIONED A SILENT RECALL OF THIS MATTER. HE THEN INFORMED ME TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, IN WHICH WE DID AND WAS INFORMED DUE TO THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED I COULD PAY $5000+ TO REBUILD MY MOTOR OR GET MY OIL CHANGED EVER 3000 MILES INSTEAD OF 5000 MILES. THIS I THOUGHT WAS A PROBLEM CAUSE WHEN I PURCHASED MY NEW 2007...

I'M RETURNING HOME FROM WORK AND DRIVING ON A FREEWAY WITH 60MPH LIMIT. I REMEMBER DRIVING AT 45MPH AND MAINTAINED A VERY GOOD DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME TRIED TO SLOWED DOWN AND THAT PROMPTED ME TO APPLY THE BRAKES. ALL OF A SUDDEN BRAKES FAILED AND COULDN'T CONTROL THE CAR TO STOP. THE CAR JUST SKIDDED AND HIT THE VAN WITH BIG FORCE. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME IS A SHUTTLE AND NO PASSENGERS INJURED. ENGINE AND FRONT PART DAMAGED VERY BAD AND I MYSELF HIT MY FACE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I CUT MY LIP AND HIT ON MY NOSE VERY BAD. I STILL RECOVERING FROM INJURIES. THOUGH THE CRASH IS SO BAD, AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND RESULTED INJURIES ON ME. THE POLICE AND OTHERS WHO TRIED TO HELP ME WONDERED WHY THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T...

I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE LEAVING THE LOT. BIGGEST ISSUE BEING IN APRIL 2012 BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH CAR BURNING/LOOSING OIL. CAR WOULD LOOSE 1 QUART OR MORE WITH IN 200 MILES. HAVE TAKEN IT TO MECHANICSVILLE TOYOTA ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND HAD A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE ONLY TO BE TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE MOTOR AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY NOT ONLY DUE TO MILEAGE BUT NOT BEING A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND NOT HAVING MY SERVICE WORK DONE THERE. MY HUSBAND IS A MECHANIC AND HAS DONE ALL THE SERVICE WORK BY THE BOOK. MY ISSUES HAPPEN AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHERE THE CAR WILL JERK, SHAKE, ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE WHILE THE ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND WILL BLINK WELL OVER 20 TIMES BEFORE STAYING LIT. I HAD TO...

AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY ONTO A RESIDENTIAL STREET, MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED MOVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHILE THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. I RECEIVED NO WARNING LIGHTS INDICATING THAT THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR! AFTER THE INCIDENT, I ATTEMPTED TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO DIPSTICK NOR COULD I LOCATE ANY INFORMATION IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IN A 2007 CAMRY COULD ONLY BE CHECKED BY A MECHANIC. THE RESULTS OF HIS CHECK WERE THAT THERE WAS NO FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION NOR DID HE FIND ANY LEAKS. HE PUT FLUIDS IN THE CAR, BUT IT CONTINUED TO SLIP WHEN HE TEST DROVE IT. I THEN HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE CLOSET TOYOTA DEALERSHIP,...

I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING GARAGE WITH THE CAR RUNNING I WAS SPEAKING ON THE PHONE VIA THE VEHICLES BLUETOOTH. UPON ENDING THE CALL I EXITED THE CAR TO ENSURE IT WAS PARKED PROPERLY BETWEEN THE LINES AND CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE WALL IN FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE. I THEN RETRIEVED MY LAPTOP BAG, COAT AND HAT FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE BACKSEAT. I PUT MY COAT ON CLOSED IT UP, PUT ON MY HAT AND EXTENDED THE ARM ON MY LAPTOP BAG. I THEN CLOSED THE BACK DOOR AND TURNED TO RETRIEVE ITEMS FROM THE FRONT SEAT AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. AS I TURNED TO RETURN TO RETURN TO THE FRONT SEAT DOOR THE CAR FLEW OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. AS THE CAR PASSED ME AND THE CAR BESIDE ME THE FRONT DOOR SWUNG COMPLETELY OPEN. I RAN AND CHASED THE CAR FOR FEAR IT MIGHT...

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AT ABOUT 40MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS NO POWER GOING TO THE WHEELS. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT NO POWER WAS GOING TO THE WHEELS. LUCKILY, I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST AROUND A CORNER. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND CAUGHT MY BREATH, AND THEN WHEN I PUT IT IN GEAR IT RAN OKAY. THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN--LOSS OF POWER--COASTING TO A STOP. I DOUBLE CHECKED AND THE CAR WAS IN FACT IN DRIVE--BUT NO POWER TO THE WHEELS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE HYBRID ECM (WHICH THEY HAVE RETAINED) AND THE PARK/NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH. (WHICH I HAVE). *TR *JS

CAR WILL HESITATE FOR NEARLY 3 SECONDS WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR HARD TO ENTER A FREEWAY FROM 30-40MPH ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP. DOES NOT REPEAT ITSELF AS THE CAR HAS TO BE UNDER A CERTAIN LOAD, THROTTLE POSITION, AND SPEED. THE RANDOMNESS OF THE ISSUE WILL LEAVE YOU STARTLED AND CRINGING IN FEAR OF A NEAR MISS. ENGINE SEEMS TO STALL THEN TRANSMISSION WILL FINALLY DROP DOWN ONE GEAR WHICH IS NOT ENOUGH TO BRING THE ENGINE RPM UP. THEN AT THE LAST MOMENT, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS AND THE MOTOR COMES ALIVE. HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN PASSING. ALL OTHER TIMES IT IS OK. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IS USELESS AS THEY DENY, DENY, DENY AND STATE THEY CAN'T REPLICATE. IT IS A DEFINITE SOFTWARE ISSUE BETWEEN THE ENGINE ECU AND THE TRANSMISSION ECU. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A 268BHP V6 ENGINE IF...

I BOUGHT 07 CAMRY FROM LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN 2007. FROM THE START I'VE NOTICED THE CAR WAS CONSUMING OIL. THERE IS NO TRACE OF LEAK ANYWHERE BUT WAS TAKING OIL. WITHOUT MUCH THOUGHT, I WOULD ADD OIL AS NEEDED. AS THE MILEAGE START TO RACK UP, THE PROBLEM IS TOO OBVIOUS AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. AT THE BEGINNING, I DID NOT KNOW HOW MUCH OIL WAS BEING CONSUMED. THEN I STARED TO USE TICKER OIL HOPING THE PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY. IT DID NOT AND I AM STILL USING TICKER OIL (5W20 TO 5W30) OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM, I THINK IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. THE CAR NOW HAS 65,000 MILES AND LATE LAST SUMMER (2011) I'VE SEEN OIL ADDING EVERY MONTH (ABOUT EVERY 1,000 MILES). LOCAL DEALER SAID A QUART EVERY 1,000 MILES IS NORMAL. SERVICE MANAGER IS SAYING THAT TOYOTA STATED THE CONSUMING A QUART EVERY 1,000 MILE...

THE OIL LIGHT ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY COMES ON BEFORE THE REQUIRED OIL CHANGE IS DUE. WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAY IT IS LOW ON OIL & IT IS NORMAL TO BURN ABOUT A QUART OF OIL FOR EVERY 700 - 1000 MILES & I NEED TO CHECK IT BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND PROBABLY ADD ADDITIONAL OIL. THERE IS NOT AN OIL LEAK AND SEVERAL OTHER 2007 CAMRY OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE AND RESPONSE. ADDITIONALLY, I OWN A 1998 CAMRY AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN LOW ON OIL. *TR

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. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE ENGAGED WHEN THE CONTACT HEARD A BEEPING NOISE AND SAW THE VEHICLE ROLLING BACKWARDS OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY.

THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 80,000. UPDATED 11/05/10. *LJ

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...

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. *TR

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. *JB

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. *TR

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...

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. HE DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND CALLED THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND A REPRESENTATIVE TOOK IT OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND INFORM HIM THE TRANSMISSION WAS BURNT OUT AND THAT THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT STATED HE IS NOT SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND DOES NOT WANT THE VEHICLE BACK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,500. THE CONSUMER STATED THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER FOR THE RECALL. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. UPDATED 04/13/10

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?

I HAVE A 2007 CAMRY 4CYLDR AUTOMATIC, THAT HAS PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. FOR EXAMPLE IF I TAKE OFF FROM A RED LIGHT OR A STOP, THE CAR WILL HESITATE LIKE IT IS STALLING AND THEN WILL PROCEED TO TAKE OFF. THIS IS AN INCONSISTENT PROBLEM THAT WHEN I COMPLAINED AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THE OTHER EXAMPLE IS THAT THE CAR EXHIBITS IS THAT WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN BUT AS YOU RE-APPLY YOUR FOOT THE CAR WILL HESITATE OR STALL UNTIL YOU REMOVE YOUR FOOT AND RE-APPLY IT. I HAVE 60000 MILES ON MY CAR AND IT HAS HAD ALL THE TIMELY SERVICES DONE TO IT. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR UP UNTIL ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN THE PROBLEM BEGAN. ROUGHLY 45000 MILES AGO. I FEAR THAT...

LEAVING HOME IN MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY; WHILE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY (FORWARD, NOT REVERSE) THE ACCELERATOR STUCK IN A HIGH RPM MODE; THE CAR BOLTED ACROSS THE STREET, HIT A DITCH AND CAUSED MAJOR DAMAGE TO MY CAR INCLUDING AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT; ALL THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TRYING TO BRAKE, BUT THE STUCK ACCELERATOR WAS AT TOO HIGH AN RPM FOR THE CAR TO STOP. *TR

ON APRIL 22, 2009, AN OIL LINE PART #15707-31030 RUPTURED ON OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY VIN VERY RAPIDLY PUMPING OIL FROM THE ENGINE AND REQUIRING IMMEDIATE REPAIR. SINCE APRIL 2009, WHILE INVESTIGATING REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIR COSTS, SEVERAL TOYOTA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES FROM LOCAL DEALERSHIPS STATED THAT TOYOTA HAS IDENTIFIED THIS MODEL ENGINE IN AVALON VEHICLES AS HAVING THIS SAME RUPTURED OIL LINE DEFECT AS OCCURRED ON MY VEHICLE. SINCE JULY 2009 WHILE SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR ENGINE REPAIRS WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE, I REQUESTED THAT THIS ISSUE BE PURSUED INTERNAL TO IDENTIFY THIS DEFECT THROUGH TECHNICAL BULLETIN OR RECALL FOR CAMRY VEHICLES. ON JANUARY 6, 2010, I SPOKE TO MIGUEL LOPEZ, SUPERVISOR, TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE, DEPARTMENT WC10, TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., REFERENCE THIS ISSUE AND HE STATED VERY CLEARLY THAT "NO ACTION OR FOLLOW-UP" PHONE CALLS OR OTHER COMMUNICATION WOULD BE TAKEN BY HIS OFFICE TO INVESTIGATE THIS SAFETY ISSUE WITH CAMRY?S....

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE ON OCTOBER 31, 2006, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A LACK OF ACCELERATION IN THE VEHICLE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR, BUT THE VEHICLE STILL HESITATED TO PICK UP SPEED AND THEN SUDDENLY SPED OFF. THE DEALER FOUND NO FAILURES; HOWEVER, THEY LATER ASKED HER TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK FOR REPAIRS. AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO LACK ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED A TOTAL OF SEVEN TIMES AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY "UPDATED" THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,500.

2007 CAMRY-TRANSMISSIONS HESITATES-WAS IN 3 + TIMES TO CORRECT...NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND VERY UNSAFE. WAS RECALIBRATED TWICE, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. HAVE HAD NUMEROUS NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS HESITATION IN THE TRANSMISSION. WENT THROUGH TOYOTA ARBITRATION, WAS DENIED. THERE IS A REAL DESIGN DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED VERY UNSAFE TO OPERATE. *TR

INTERMITTENTLY, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, PARTICULARLY WHEN I BRAKE AND DECELERATE FROM ABOVE 30MPH, THEN MAKE A TURN, SUCH AS EXITING AN OFF RAMP, AT ABOUT 5-20 MPH, I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO ACCELERATE OUT OF THE TURN, AND THE THROTTLE DOES NOT RESPOND FOR ABOUT 3 TO 15 SECONDS. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHERE I CANNOT DEPEND ON THE VEHICLE RESPONDING TO THE THROTTLE ALLOWING ME TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS UNDER OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES, AND IS COMPLETELY UNPREDICTABLE, BUT THE ABOVE SCENARIO IS THE MOST CONSISTENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA FOR THIS ISSUE FOR THE SECOND TIME AND WAS TOLD: '..THAT IS THE WAY IT IS..' AND "..THIS IS HOW THE FLY-BY-WIRE SYSTEM WORKS IN THE CAMRY.." BY THE SERVICE TECH OF POWER TOYOTA IRVINE ON TUESDAY APR 29. HE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT IS...
