2007 TOYOTA CAMRY Unknown Or Other Problems

Driver seat belt gets stuck sometimes or sometimes does not want to click not often but pretty randomly. The driver window control panel also started to smoke for 5 minutes the smoke started coming out the whole driver panel door and caused excessive heat. Seems that something burnt it was smelling like burnt plastic .

The dashboard is melting causing a glare in the windshield.

Whenever I start my car I can see a red triangle symbol I think it’s SRS warning light. Then I check my owner’s manual then I find out that it’s SRS warning lights. I don’t know what to do. Please let me know what should I do?

The Dash is melting causing a glare on the windshield which blocks my vision and is very dangerous.

My dash board is sticky and uncleanable, making it very hard to see out the windshield at all hours day or night, which could potentially cause a crash. I have also noticed tons of people online with the same problem. This needs to be recalled or class action lawsuit.

I'm in love with Toyota. In Brazil I always had cars of this brand, but newer in manufacture. I recently purchased a 2007 Toyota Camry from a third party and at the time of purchase I did not realize the size of the problem. The car as always is excellent. But to my surprise your panel is simply melting. Just tap it and it dissolves in your hand. As it is sticky and sticky in the hot sun, its reflection almost completely covers the front windshield. I need to drive with dark glasses to get visibility. When researching the subject, I realized that this problem is widespread. That all Camry's have this defect. Imagine the danger of those countless drivers driving in poor visibility. It really is a disappointment with Toyota, and I hope they have a solution not only for me, but for everyone, as I consider this a...

The power strip on drivers door to roll up and roll down windows, lock and unlock car is broken. I know there was a recall but I never got that replaced. Toyota of Poway said it’s fine then it broke a year later.

In June 9, 2016 (NHTSA ID Number: 10111320) Toyota did a Warranty Enhancement Program to extend the warranty coverage for repairs related to cracked and/or sticky/melting Dashboards (Instrument Panels) as a result of heat or humidity. My 2009 Toyota Camry was taken to a Toyota dealership in September of 2016 and the malfunctioning dashboard was replaced. However, the dashboard is still melting. It was replaced with the same defective material.

I bought my 2007 Toyota Camry in May 2020 with approx. 77,000 mi. On or about 98,775 mi. all of a sudden my car started burning an extremely amount of oil. I would get my oil changed every 6 mo. like clockwork and after oil change just driving between every 900 & 1,200 mi. I am having to add nearly a full quart of oil, thank God I am the type person that checks my fluids periodically or I would have blown my engine! What is the point in me paying nearly $100. an oil change if I have to continuously be buying quarts of oil to be putting in my car every 1,000. miles? Someone told me that 2007 Camrys burn oil due to some kind of issue and that there was a recall around 2015, that all I need to do is take my car to dealership and...

The dashboard is melting and shiny causing it to look wet and create a dangerous glare on the windshield. When I look through the windshield I see a reflection of the dashboard. This is apparently a known problem for Toyota and I called to report it but they were unconcerned and will not repair.

dashboard is melting and is available for inspection. glare from melting dashboard hinders vision while driving, hands can be affected when touching dashboard melting goo. yes, dealer confirmed 2007 models have defective dashboards, enhanced warranty expired. no inspection by dealer. no recalls or warranty extensions or notifications of defect received. defect first noticed summer 2022. car purchased 2007, garaged, and low mileage(55,000).

Interior structure problem re: dashboard. My 2007 Toyota Camry LE sedan has just over 40K. This is a one-owner 4 door sedan. I bought this as "new" at Venice Toyota in FL on 3/29/07. I moved back to RI in 8/2007. About 2018, while cleaning the inside, I noticed that the dashboard seemed sticky. I had a dog and couldn't get the dashboard clean. I've tried several times to clean it (including some gel that's supposed to work) but everything sticks to it. I just found out where I can report it or I would have done this sooner. I had looked up my auto when I was checking for any outstanding recalls. I've had 2 minor recalls fixed. Reading further, others had the same problem, had contacted dealers about a recall which supposedly had gone out but it didn't. Toyota won't acknowledge the problem nor will the dealers. I...

Vehicle was detailed at Toyota of San Diego. The dash board became very sticky/gummy when exposed to sun. This causes a problem when driving because the sticky imagine from the dash board shines on the window and distorts your view. Toyota of San Diego sold to Norm Reeves of San Diego. The service department mentioned Toyota knew about the problem but the time has expired to replace the dash. My mom did not receive any notification from Toyota. The car has 20,000 miles and is occasionally driven. My mom is 97 and I have just started to drive her car. Viewing out the front window is hazardous.

I sent a complaint about my dashboard melting, over two years ago and complained to the dealer ship with no help, they told me my warranty expired a week before the recall. They said it would cost me right at $ 1100.00 to repair, I told them that's not fair for me to pay for there mistake I can't afford that, the way the economy is going. I beg for help before and no one listen, so lam pleasing again. God I hope someone hear me this time.

The front dash assembly is melted over time and is so bad I cannot see out the front windshield. I told the dealership that I believe this was a recall and they said it was but that the specific job for that expired ? I didn’t know recalls expired. They are willing to fix the current situation with the current system failure of the over heating window switches but a major problem is the visibility up front. I have to wear sun glasses just to see through that horrible glare from the melted dashboard. Also not sure if their is any suspension issues with my 2007 Toyota Camry. The steering wheel shakes some and I’ve purchased new tires wheels and some rotation balance and alignment and no additional work or parts where needed to fix that problem. The alignment did reduce some steering wheel shaking but it’s getting worse again....

Was driving an it made a noise then the brake light abs light an vcs light came on at the same time an I see on here where some people have the same problem with the same car so what do I need to do about it

I first noticed a year ago that the dashboard was not looking right, but this year, approximately Mid May, the dashboard has become sticky and when the sun shines there is now a glare in my windshield, making visibility near impossible. It is hard to tell if there is a pedestrian/biker on the sides of the road or another vehicle in front of me. I did not receive any notice of this problem from the manufacturer. A dealer in my area said there is nothing he can do for me; however, he did give me the phone number for the Texas headquarters. I spoke with a gentleman named Cue (sp) who then put a senior supervisor on the phone. They, too, will not do anything..."there was a warrantee extension notice sent out in 2015 which expired in 2017". I did not receive it. They will only refund up to $250...

There was a previous recall on this vehicle for the dash melting and becoming sticky. I learned of this recall after purchasing it and would appreciate it if the recall was still honored. At least if half the expences covered for the manufacturer mistake.

HAVING A REALLY SCARY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WHILE I'M DRIVING MY CAR ON THE INTERSTATE MY CAR RANDOMLY CUTS OFF IN THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE AND COULD CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT

WHIE DRIVING THE DASHBOARD IS VERY REFLECTIVE AND BLINDING. THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE STICKINESS SUBSTANCE. IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NOT HAD A ACCIDENT BUT I DON'T USE THE CAR DURING THE DAY TIME BECAUSE THE SUN IS ALWAYS OUT SHINY IN TEXAS WHERE I RESIDE AND I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A ACCIDENT.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS VERY STICKY. WHILE DRIVING I RECEIVE A GLARE ON MY EYES COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I READ MANY COMPLAINTS OF CAMRY OWNERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. MY CAR IS ALWAYS GARAGED SO IT RECEIVE LESS EXPOSURE TO THE SUN.

THE SUN VISORS ARE THE RIGHT AND LEFT OF THE CAR WERE DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED AND THE NEW VISORS ARE ALSO DEFECTIVE AND DO NOT MAINTIAN THEIR POSTIION AS THEY FALL DOWN AND BLOCK THE DRIVERS VIEW MAKING A VERY SERIOUS HAZAED AND PREVENTIVE VISIBILITY TO DRIVE THE CAR. WE CONTACTED THE DEALER CALLED TOYOTA OF ORANGE AND THEY SAY THEY KNOW THE REPLACEMENTS ARE DEFECTIVE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE REPLACMENTS.

MY DASHBOARD HAS A STICKY FILM AND WHEN SUNLIGHT IS PRESENT IT'S HAZARDOUS TO SEE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING CONCERN WITH TOYOTA CARS BETWEEN 2007-2009. I CONTACTED TOYOTA FOR GENERAL INFORMATION FOR REPLACEMENT ON 26 OCT 19. ACCORDING TO A TOYOTA REP ON 1 NOV 19, RECALL NOTICES WERE SENT TO REGISTERED OWNERS BY REACHING OUT THROUGH THEIR LOCAL MVA IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND.

MY SAFETY ISSUE IS THE MELTING RUBBER DASHBOARD ISSUE BECOMING STICKY, SHINY AND REFLECTING A GLARE REDUCING AND BLINDING MY VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING. I PURCHASED IN 2016 A USED TOYOTA CAMRY LE FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP. IN SUMMER 2018 I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD WAS TACKY TO THE TOUCH. I ASKED AT A CAR SUPPLIES AND PARTS STORE IF THEY KNEW WHAT CAUSED THIS BUT NO ONE COULD HELP ME. I ASKED CARMAX ONE TIME ABOUT THIS AND TOLD IT MUST ME SOMETHING I PUT ON THE CAR WHICH I HAD NOT. THEN THIS SUMMER 2019 THE DASHBOARD BECAME SO STICKY AND SHINY WITH MELTING RUBBER AND GLARE SO BLINDING IT REDUCES MY VIEW OF THE ROAD AND NOW IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN ANY BRIGHT SUNSHINE OR ONCOMING CAR HEADLIGHTS.
