2007 TOYOTA CAMRY Wheels Problems

Hi, In my car VSC light is always on, I got it scan as well but it doesn't show any code for VSC and ABS systems. Toyota dealership also don't give any information about the codes. It's kind of very dangerous to drive with all the lights on the cluster. Thank You

1)BODY- The body of the vehicle (paint) seems to be chipping and/or rusting at an increasingly rapid rate with no known causes. This rusting is causing the value of the car to plummet as I am trying to sell the vehicle. It first appeared in about 2019 and has been getting steadily worse without any way to stop it. 2) SUSPENSION- On every single Toyota I’ve owned (4) the struts wore very quickly and are NOT a cheap fix. I had to at one point, fix them more than once in the same vehicle. I was told by the repair tech that it is a common issue seen in Toyotas. If a strut goes while driving it can cause major safety issues for the driver. 3)WHEELS- The hubcaps more specifically speaking, on every Toyota I’ve owned, have also had an issue maintaining its hubcaps. One rolled off on the highway...

AS SOON AS I DROVE THIS CAR OFF THE LOT, THE "TIRE BALANCE" LIGHT CAME ON. THE TIRES WERE LOW SO I PUT AIR IN THEM AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. THE FRONT BUMPER SKIRT SCRAPES ON EVERY DIP IN THE ROAD IT SEEMS, SOUNDING HORRIBLE. THEN, IT GOT CAUGHT ON A PARKING STOP WHICH LOOSENED THE SKIRT SO IT NOW HANGS EVEN LOWER AND SCRAPES BOTTOM OVER EVERY CRACK IN THE ROAD.

THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR IS ALWAYS ON, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS. AFTER HAVING TIRE PRESSURE CHECKED THINGS ARE USUALLY OK FOR A DAY OR TWO AND THEN THEY ARE BACK TO PRESSURE SENSOR ILLUMINATING. THIS IS A VERY COMMON AND KNOWN PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA AND LEXUS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2010 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AS PURCHASED.

CHECK VSC SYSTEM

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL ABOUT 5MPH BECAUSE IT WAS SNOWING AND THERE WERE CARS INFRONT OF ME. I WAS SLOWLY PRESSING THE BRAKE AND THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT STUCK AND I COULDN'T CONTROL THE BRAKE, THE WHEELS HAD LOCKED TO AND I KEPT ON SLIDING AND I WENT HEAD ON IN AN SUV. CAR IS TOTALED AND I SUSTAINED NECK, BACK, KNEE, AND SHOULDER INJURIES. AND ALSO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS A FIRE BUT AFTER THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED THERE WAS A LOT OF SMOKE COMING FROM EVERYWHERE. *TR

WHEEL RIMS HAVE A HABIT OF COMING OFF. I HAVE REMOVED MY RIMS OUT OF CONCERN THEY WILL FLY OFF AND HIT SOMEONE ELSE. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED MANY OTHER 2007 STYLE CAMRYS DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT RIMS ALSO. *TR

THIS ALL STARTED DECEMBER 16, 2013, WHEN I LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AND MY CAR BROKE DOWN ON THE ROAD. I HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER, ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, AND AIR MASS FLOW SENSOR REPLACED. PICKED THE CAR UP DROVE IT HOME AND SHE STILL FELT A LITTLE SLUGGISH BUT I FIGURED THE CAR WAS COLD. WENT TO HAVE IT INSPECTED THE NEXT DAY AND MY BRAKES WERE LOCKED! HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP AND HE REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AGAIN. PICKEDT IT UP DROVE IT HOME AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AT 60 MPH AGAIN I FIGURED IT WAS COLD AND MADE IT HOME. NEXT DAY DROVE IT TO WORK, THE CAR WENT TO 50, 40, AND THEN 30 MPH AND WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN THAT! I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP AND MY MECHANIC DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE...

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...

ALL FOUR TIRE WHEEL HUBS ARE RUSTING OUT. THIS COULD CREATE A HAZARD. MANUFACTURER SHOULD CORRECT WHEEL HUB DEFECT AT NO COST TO CUSTOMER. *TR

WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A TURN TO TAKE AN EXIT TO RAMP, I APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND TAKE THE CURVE BUT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND WHILE CONTROLLING IT I PRESSED ON EMERGENCY BRAKES AND BROUGHT CAR TO SUDDEN STOP BUT ALSO HIT THE CURVE ON THE SIDE OF THE HWY. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH TOYOTA AND HAD HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE. *TR

WITHIN THE FIRST AND SECOND YEAR FROM THE PURCHASE DATE , REAR WHEEL BEARINGS FAILED AND THE DEALER CHANGED IT, BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. AGAIN 2011 AUGUST THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING FAILED , I HAD TO REPLACE WITH 50 % COST COVERED BY THE DEALER. NOW FEB 2012 PASSENGER SIDE BEARING FAILED ALONG WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SWITCH. PARTS IN THIS CAR HAVE BEEN FAILING PRETTY FAST THEN EXPECTED. THIS IS THE WORST KIND OF FAILURE IN WHEEL BEARINGS FOR A SEDAN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE WHEELS ON THE VEHICLE WERE RUSTED AND EXHIBITED ORANGE FLAKY BUILD UP. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE WHEELS WERE NOT UNSAFE AND NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE RUSTED WHEELS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,471. UPDATED 08/22/11*LJ UPDATED 08/29/11*JB

THIS IS NOT AN INCIDENT. IT'S AN ONGOING PROBLEM. ALL FOUR WHEELS BEGAN TO RUST WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 20,000 MILES ON IT. THE RUST IS OCCURRING ON THE SECTIONS OF THE WHEELS THAT AREN'T COVERED BY THE HUB CAP, IN OTHER WORDS THE EXPOSED-TO-THE- ELEMENTS PART OF THE WHEEL. RECENTLY IT WAS RECOMMENDED TO ME THAT I REPLACE ALL 4 WHEELS BECAUSE THE RUST, AS IT'S GOTTEN STEADILY WORSE, WILL LIKELY AFFECT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE WHEELS AND COULD CREATE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING.

RUSTING WHEELS ON 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. *TR

THE STEEL WHEELS OF OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ARE RUSTING. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN IN CALIFORNIA SINCE IT WAS NEW. IN OUR FAMILY WE OWN A 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH STEEL WHEELS AND THEY ARE NOT RUSTING. THIS VEHICLE WAS EVEN ON THE EAST COAST FOR SIX WINTERS AND ITS WHEELS ARE STILL NOT RUSTING. WE ALSO OWN A 1992 TOYOTA PICKUP WITH STEEL WHEELS AND THEY ARE NOT RUSTING EITHER EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS 19 YEARS OLD. TOYOTA'S QUALITY STANDARDS ARE FAILING. THE CONCERN IS THAT THESE STEEL WHEELS HAVE WELD SPOTS BETWEEN THE PART WHICH IS BOLTED TO THE HUB AND THE PART THAT HAS THE TIRE INSTALLED ON IT. WHEN THE RUST GETS TO THE WELD SPOTS, THE WELD SPOTS ARE GOING TO WEAKEN AND WILL FAIL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE CONTROL AND INJURE ITS OCCUPANTS AND OTHER VEHICLES/PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. A COMPLAINT...
