2007 TOYOTA CAMRY Unknown Or Other Problems

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 matter of public safety.

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 that they mark something with a red marker or something to this effect and after driving 1,000. mi. that I take the car back to dealership & they check it again, if my car burns slot of o than they suppose to fix the problem! Well, I am tired of paying extreme amounts of money every 6 mo. for oil change and still have to be spending more money for more oil to have to be checking & adding more oil or I will eventually blow my entire engine if I don't! I took my vehicle to Toyota , & they said that the recall has been over yrs. ago? Well, I would imagine that this would be a life or death matter and therefore this particular recall HAS "NO" Expiration DATE! I need this issue resolved ASAP, I do not have over $2,000. to pay out of pocket Please, someone contact me with answers! I now have 114,000 mi.

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).

The transmission failed. It was slipping and then just shut down

Dash is sticky seems like it’s bleeding the glue is super shiny and is a road hazard Please help!

when driving both of ABS & Break dashboard warning lights are on, RPM meter will go up & down, temperature gage is down. Unable to be certain the vehicle safe to be operation.

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 am faithful about maintenance but the dashboard is disgusting. I also noticed that others have the same complaint and some are from South Florida as mine is. When is Toyota going to address this problem? It's not just 2007 Camrys - it's many models and years. There must be something they can do - it's their problem and they need to address it. Thank you.

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. Any help would be appreciated and if we could get the Dealership to fix the front dashboard that would be phenomenal. Thank you.

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 for a dash cover. This should have been a recall, as I am sure that I could not be the only one that was omitted from their mailings.

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.

SECONDARY WARRANTY... DISCUSSED WITH A SERVICE ADVISOR PRIOR TO THE "2015 WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT". I WAS TOLD NO RECALL, NO LIABILITY. BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT A RECALL TOYOTA MOTOR CORP IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE STICKY DASH RESULTING FROM HEAT OF SUMMER AND WINTER HEATING WHICH CAUSES EYE, THROAT, LUNG IRRITATION, CLOUDING GLARE OF WINDSHIELD AND EYEGLASSES. THE CLOCK MOUNTED ON THE DASH HAS A CLOUD OVER THE PLASTIC COVER MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO READ AS WELL AS PLASTIC COVER OVER DOME LIGHT.

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.

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. ON 10-13-2019 WHILE DRIVING I TURNED A CURVE ON A BUSY ROAD AND WAS COMPLETELY BLINDED BY GLARE AND NARROWLY MISSED HITTING AN ONCOMING CAR. I KEEP A CLEAN CAR AND ALL GLASS SO THIS IS NOT A BUILDUP ON THE GLASS. ON 10-14-2019 I BEGAN ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE HAD INDEED BEEN A PROBLEM SO I WENT DIRECTLY TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE AND EMAILED THIS PROBLEM AND REQUESTED ASSISTANCE. I THEN SPOKE WITH A CUSTOMER CARE PERSON THAT ADVISED ME THERE WAS A SPECIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM BUT THAT PROGRAM HAD EXPIRED AUGUST 2017 AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO. I EXPRESSLY INQUIRED HOW COULD THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN CARS AND OFFER NO ASSISTANCE. THEY SAID THEY WENT TO EACH STATES DMV TO GET ADDRESS OF TOYOTA OWNERS OF AFFECTED CARS AND MAILED THEM. I EXPLAINED I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2016 AND WHAT DO THEY OFFER TO MAKE MY CAR SAFE. I GOT ONLY APOLOGIES. THIS IS EVIDENTLY A KNOWN AND LONG TERM SAFETY PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA CARS AND IS AT A DANGEROUS LEVEL FOR MANY OWNERS OF USED TOYOTA'S WITH NO CORRECTIVE STEPS AVAILABLE.

DASHBOARD ON 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE IS MELTING. NOTICED SEVERAL MONTHS BACK THAT IT WAS TACKY TO THE TOUCH AND SEEMED TO GET WORSE AS THE WEATHER HEATED UP. GLARE IS BECOMING MORE OF A PROBLEM, SPECIFICALLY ON HOT SUNNY DAYS, MELTING DASHBOARD PUT A SMALL GOUGE IN THE DASHBOARD WHEN SOMETHING WAS SET ON IT AND THEN MOVED. DEBRIS AND DUST IS ALSO COLLECTING ON THE DASHBOARD. WILL BECOME MORE HAZARDOUS AS TIME GOES ON. CALLED BOTH TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON RECALL LIST AND TOO WAIT TO SEE IF ANOTHER RECALL WOULD BE ISSUED. DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE OVER $2,000 FOR PART AND LABOR. I HAVE KEPT MY CAR IN THE GARAGE AND DASHBOARD HAS SEEMED A LITTLE SLOWER TO DETERIORATE COMPARED TO OTHERS, BUT NOW THAT IT IS BREAKING DOWN, WILL MOST LIKELY DECLINE QUICKER. A PROBLEM CREATED BY TOYOTA ALSO AFFECTS RESALE AND TRADE IN VALUE OF THE VEHICLE AT NO FAULT OF THE OWNER.

DASHBOARD REPLACED AFTER RECALL..5 YEARS AGO ..SAME PROBLEM NOW MELTING CAUSING BAD VISIBILITY.. TOYOTA REFUSED HELP..DEALERSHIP REFUSED HELP

DRIVER SIDE SUN SHADE DOESNT STAY IN PLACE, BLOCKS VIEW AND KEEPS FALLING DOWN WHEN PUT BACK UP CAUSES A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING BY DISTRACTING DRIVER WHILE DRIVING. I REMOVED IT SO DONT HAVE A PICTURE OF IT DOWN.

TAKATA RECALLS DASH BOARD IS STICKY AIR BAG SIGN OFF

I HAVE TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 AND I LIVE IN NORTH TEXAS. I WANTED TO CLEAN MY DASHBOARD ONCE IN SUMMER AND I SAW THAT IT'S COMING OFF AND IT'S STICKY AND I COULD SEE MY FINGERNAIL PRINTS ON THE DASHBOARD AND EVEN WHILE DRIVING IT EASILY GETS DENTED BY MY NAILS. BUGS AND DUST GET ATTACHED TO IT, AND THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO REMOVE THEM WHICH IS A HEALTH HAZARD. ALSO, ITS REFLECT ON THE WIND SHIELD SPECIALLY IN SUNNY DAYS, WHICH IS ALMOST EVERYDAY IN TEXAS, BLOCKS MY EYE SIGHT AND I HARDLY CAN SEE PASSENGERS OR TRAFFIC SIGNS WHICH IS REALLY DANGEROUS. AFTER SOME READINGS I FOUND THAT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE WAS A RECALL THAT I MISSED. I EMAILED TOYOTA AND FILED A COMPLAINT, BUT I GOT DISREGARDED. I CALLED AND YOU TOLD ME THAT THE WARRANTY OF YOUR CAR HAS BEEN EXPIRED WHICH WAS MAY 2017. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2016 AND BY MAY 2017 THERE WAS NO SUMMER OR HOT WEATHER. I NEVER GOT ANY EMAIL OR NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THIS ISSUE. TOYOTA TOLD ME YOU MUST PAY FOR THAT BY YOURSELF. I AM JUST A STUDENT AND CANNOT EITHER AFFORD REPLACING THE DASHBOARD OR CHANGING MY CAR. IT'S BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH THIS ISSUE AND I COULD NOT FIND A REAL SOLUTION FOR MY MELTING DASHBOARD. THE MAKER SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS WITH SUCH ISSUES.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE DASHBOARD IS EXTREMELY TACKY WHICH IS CAUSING AN UNSAFE GLARE WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE. I AM AT THE POINT WHERE MY VEHICLE IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. NO IMAGE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

THE DASBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING AND IS SO STICKY, THERE IS A GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD, MAKES IT HARD TO DRIVE.

THE DASHBOARD KEEP MELTING AND STICKY HENCE AFFECTING VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING... I ACTUALLY TOOK IT TO FAMILY TOYOTA OF ARLINGTON BUT WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS OVER AND I HAVE TO PAY $1100 WHICH I DO NOT HAVE AND CANT AFFORD.

I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARD UNTIL JUNE 2017. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP BECUSE I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS WAS A DEFECT WITH THE CAR. I ALSO NEVER REVEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THE DASHBOARD. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA THEY SAID IT WAS STICKY AND THEY ORDERED A NEW DASHBOARD. I TOOK THE CAR IN THEN GOT A PHONECALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT COVER THE COST BECAUSE IT WAS AFTER MAY 2017. NOW IT IS BECOMING A SAFTEY ISSUE BECASE OF THE MELTING IT IS REFLECTING ON MY WINDSHIELD WHICH IS A SAFTEY HAZARD WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR WHEN THE SUN IS OUT. TOYATA CORPORATE TOLD ME THEY MAKE NO EXCEPTIONS. WHAT CAN I DO?

THE DASHBOARD APEARS TO BE MELTING.BECAUSE THE DASH IS MELTING IT GIVES OFF A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT AFFECT VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS TURNED INTO A STICKY MESS THAT NO STORE BOUGHT CLEANER CAN CLEAR/CLEAN OFF. I FELL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS IF AFFECT THE VISIBILITY OF THE DRIVER.

THE DASHBOARD IS IS SHINY AND SOFT LIKE IT'S MELTING. WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAY THEY WILL NOT COVER IT, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET IT LOOKED AT BEFORE THE DEADLINE. WE WERE NOT AWARE THAT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS COVERED TO TAKE IT IN AND HAVE IT EVALUATED. NOT SURE OF WHEN IT STARTED.

TAKATA RECALL - MY DASH HAS SUCH A BAD GLARE I HAVE TO PLACE SOMETHING OVER IT SO I CAN SEE SAFELY. THE DASH IS MELTING SO MUCH I CANNOT EVEN GET IT CLEANED BECAUSE THE DASH WIPES OFF WITH THE CLEANING RAGS. IT IS MELTING INTO MY SUN VISOR AND HAS A STRANGE ODOR IN THE CAR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT CONSUMERS HAVE TO SUFFER AND BE BLINDED, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ESP EARLY IN THE MORNING WHEN THE SUB IS SO BRIGHT! THE DASH IS PEELING OFF IN PLACES AS WELL, IT POPS UP AND HAS PIECES COMING OFF OR WIPING OFF AS IF THEY WERE BOILED AND VERY FRAGILE. I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF THE GLARE, THE STICKINESS THAT MAKES EVERYTHING STICK TO IT AND YOU CANNOT CLEAN THE DASH AT ALL OR IT SMUDGES OFF AS MENTIONED EARLIER. THE PHOTOS ALSO SHOW THE DASH IS MELTING INTO MY SUN SHADES.

EXCESSIVE GLARE ON WINDSHIELD LIMITING VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. FROM NEWS REPORTS AS SEEN ON LOCAL NBC-TV AFFILIATE (JULY 31,2019) TOYOTA ADMITTED THAT MELTING DASHBOARDS CONTRIBUTED TO THIS SAFETY CONCERN/ WINDSHIELD GLARE EFFECT. THE MELTING DASHBOARD HAD BEEN REPORTED TO TOYOTA (A FEW MONTHS AGO FOR THE SECOND TIME - ORIGINALLY REPORTED IN 2014 AND TOYOTA INDICATED THEY WILL REVIEW).

I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL AND OWNED THE CAR SINCE 2009 AND LIVED ST THE SAME ADDRESS FOR 15 YEARS UNTIL RECENTLY. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE THE DEFECT FIXED !!!!! MY SECOND TOYOTA .

I BOUGHT MY 2007 CAMRY IN 2006 AND IT HAS BEEN GREAT TILL THE LAST 6 MONTHS WHEN THE DASH BOARD STARTED TO GET STICKY AND IS NOW FULLY STICKY AND GLOSSY TO THE POINT WHERE THE SUN REFLECTS OFF IT AND IS BLINDING. TOYOTA SAID THEY HAD A RECALL WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THE ADDRESS WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR IS THE SAME IN MY DRIVER'S LICENSE AND I NEVER CHANGED IT. I LIVE IN BUENA PARK SINCE 1991 AND MY DRIVERS LICENSE HAS THAT ADDRESS SINCE I WAS 18 (18 YEARS AGO). I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THE RECALL NEEDED AND ITS. OT THEIR CONCERN. I FIND IT IRRESPONSIBLE THAT TOYOTA TAKES NO ACTION FOR FAULTY MANUFACTURING OF THEIR PRODUCTS AND SHIFTS THE FAULT TO THE CONSUMER WHEN I HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS ANY ISSUES. SECONDLY WHEN THEY HAD THE GAS PEDAL RECALL I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR MAINTENANCE AND WHEN I GOT IT BACK THEY CUT THE PEDAL WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE AND SAID A REPLACEMENT WAS ON BACK ORDER. I HAVE SINCE 2010 REQUESTED THE REPLACEMENT TILL 2011 AND THEY ALWAYS SAID IT IN BACK ORDER. I GAVE UP ASKING BECAUSE I GOT EXCUSES. WHEN I'M DRIVING MY FOOT SLIPS OFF THE GAS PEDAL BECAUSE ITS SHORTER. ITS HAZARDOUS WHEN YOUR MAKING A TURN AND THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION AND YOU HAVE TO QUICKLY HIT THE GAS AGAIN. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN THE ROAD IS SLIPPERY IN A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA WITH THESE CONCERNS AND ALL THEY SAY IS THAT THERE ISNT ANYTHING THEY CAN DO.

OVER TIME, MY DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND HAS BECOME STICKY. I HAVE TRIED MY BEST TO DEAL WITH IT, BUT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT CAUSES A REFLECTION OF MY DASHBOARD ON MY DRIVER'S WINDOW, MAKING IT HARD TO SEE WHEN I AM DRIVING (ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS SUNNY...AND I LIVE IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA...WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME IT IS SUNNY.) I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY CLAIM TO HAVE SENT OUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE. THEY CLAIM THEY CAN'T FIX IT ANYMORE BECAUSE OF AN EXPIRED WARRANTY (WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF...IF I WAS, I WOULD'VE FIXED IT ASAP). IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE DUE TO THEIR FAULTY MANUFACTURING.

THERE IS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE AND TOYOTA IS SAYING IT IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE, THAT HAS EXPIRED AND THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO FIX IT AND PAY FOR IT ALL OUT OF POCKET. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL NOT A WARANTY ISSUE. IT'S NOT FAIR OR RIGHT AND THEY SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTION ISSUES THAT ARE FLAWED. THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE BECAUSE THE LIGHT DOESN'T EVEN COME ON WHEN IT IS LOW, SO IF I DON'T CHECK OFTEN THEN I AM IN DANGER WHEN I AM DRIVING. I BOUGHT THE CAR TO DRIVE, NOT TO BECOME A MECHANIC.

SO IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY MY WINDSHIELD THAT HAD NO CHIPS AND WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. AND PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. I WAS SITTING IN MY CAR ABOUT TO GET OUT WHEN I WATCHED THE WINDSHIELD CRACK BY ITSELF INDEPENDENTLY NOTHING HITTING IT NO CHIPS OR IMPERFECTIONS TO MAKE IT CRACK NO SOUNDS NOTHING IT STARTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN A SPIDERWEB FASHION AND CRACKED ALL THE WAY ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD AND KEEPS CONTINUING TO SPIDERWEB ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDSHILD THERE WAS NO CHIPS INITIALLY NOTHING HIT IT NO PRESSURE AFTER TALKING TO SEVERAL PROFESSIONALS THEY ALSO CAN NOT SEE A REASON FOR THE CRACKED WINDSHIELD STATES IT LOOKS LIKE IT CRACKED FROM THE CENTER OUT. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER WHO REGISTERED IT AND GAVE ME PAPERWORK LISTING MY ADDRESS ON ALL OF THE FORMS. I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM FOR THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR DEFECT. I HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH IT FOR A FEW YEARS BUT SINCE I RARELY DRIVE DURING THE DAYTIME IT WASN'T AN ISSUE UNTIL MY SHIFT CHANGED. SO NOW IT'S BROKEN AND TODAY, YEARS LATER, TOYOTA TELLS ME THAT THE WARRANTY INFORMATION WAS SENT TO AN ADDRESS OTHER THAN THE ONE I HAVE LIVED SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR. SINCE I DIDN'T REGISTER THE CAR AND ALL OF MY PAPERWORK HAD MY THEN AND STILL ADDRESS ON IT, I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SENT IT TO AN ADDRESS THAT WASN'T MINE. THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME THE ADDRESS BUT REFERRED ME TO MY STATE' DMV, WHO ALSO WILL NOT GIVE ME THIS PHANTOM ADDRESS WHERE MY INFO WAS SENT. COLONIAL TOYOTA REGISTERED THE CAR FOR ME SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MISTAKES WERE MADE IN THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AND NO WAY OF GETTING THE INFORMATION. TOYOTA IS DOING WHAT ALL BIG COMPANIES DO, PASS THE MISTAKES THEY MADE TO THE CONSUMER. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM ATOYOTA DEALER EVER AGAIN.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS DEVELOPED A SHINY,STICKY DASHBOARD. NOT ONLY IS IT STICKY BUT IT BECAUSE IT IS SO SHINY IT PRODUCES A GLARE SO SEEING THE ROAD BECOMES MORE DIFFICULT. THIS GLARE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. I CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT EXCEPT REPLACE THE DASHBOARD AT MY EXPENSE. THEY STATED A FEW YEARS AGO THERE WAS A PROGRAM TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARDS AS THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED BUT SINCE MY PROBLEM HAPPENED AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED I WAS OUT OF LUCK. WHY DIDN'T I GET NOTIFIED OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OR THE ISSUE WITH THE DASHBOARD? I HAVE HAD THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW SO THEY HAD ALL OF MY INFORMATION IN THEIR DATABASE AND CONTACTING ME WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY EASY. I WAS GOING TO PASS THIS CAR DOWN TO MY DAUGHTER THAT JUST GOT HER LICENSE, BUT I AM HESITANT TO LET HER DRIVE THE CAR AS THE GLARE MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I DON'T WANT TO PUT MY DAUGHTER IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.

MY TOYOTA DID NOT EXHIBIT THE STICKY DASHBOARD UNTIL JUNE OF 2017. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL ONLY WENT UNTIL MAY 0F 2017 AND WAS REFUSED BY TOYOTA. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT WAS A DEFINITE FACTORY DEFECT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. NOW I HAVE THIS CONTINOUS GLARE WHICH AFFECTS BOTH DAY AND NIGHT VISABILITY.

I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE CAR. THIS CAR HAS A DASHBOARD PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ACCIDENTS. ITS DASHBOARD IS BECOMING STICKY, SMELLY AND SHINY AS A MIRROR. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DEVELOPING FOR YEARS AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. WHEN I CALL A TOYOTA DEALER ABOUT 3-4 YEARS AGO TO ASK WHETHER THERE WAS A RECALL OR OTHER SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THEY COULD DO NOTHING. THIS YEAR, THE PROBLEM IS BECOMING SEVERE SINCE THE SHINY DASHBOARD OFTEN BLINDS MY EYES AND I ALMOST HIT A WALKER. I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND TONS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINS AND SOME LUCKY COSTUMERS GOT FREE REPLACEMENT. SO, I CALLED THE SAME DEALER AGAIN ASKING ABOUT THE POLICY. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL SEVERAL YEARS AGO, BUT IT EXPIRED TWO YEARS AGO, SO THEY COULD DO NOTHING. THIS ANSWER IS RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING I CALLED THEM BEFORE. I THEN CALL THE HEADQUARTER. THE OPERATOR TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT A RECALL, BUT AN EXTENDED 10-YEAR WARRANTEE. SINCE MY CAR HAS BEEN MORE THAN TEN YEARS, TOYOTA WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DASHBOARD UNLESS I HAVE WRITTEN EVIDENCE THAT I CONTACTED TOYOTA BEFORE ABOUT THE DASHBOARD. MY COMPLAINS ARE AS FOLLOWS: (1)THIS DASHBOARD PROBLEM SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE IT CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS ACCIDENTS. AS MENTIONED, THE SPECULAR REFLECTION FROM THE SHINY DASHBOARD CAN BLIND THE DRIVERS AND MAKE THE DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS. TOYOTA MUST HAVE KNOWN THIS PROBLEM A LONG TIME AGO AND SHOULD NOTICE ALL COSTUMERS TO CHANGE THE DASHBOARD FOR FREE, INSTEAD OF FINDING EXCUSES TO REJECT MOST UNLUCKY CUSTOMERS. TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND CARE ABOUT ITS CUSTOMERS' LIVES. (2)TOYOTA SHOULDN'T PUT THE BURDEN OF PROVIDING EVIDENCE ONLY ON COSTUMERS. THE REQUEST OF WRITTEN EVIDENCE THAT I CONTACTED THE DEALER BEFORE IS RIDICULOUS. THE FACT THAT THE DEALER FAILED TO PROVIDE ME A RIGHT SUGGESTION/SOLUTION BECOMES MY FAULT.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY'S WERE INSTALLED WITH A SUN VISOR THAT WAS LATER RECALLED DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE INNER PLASTIC BODY. ... MAKING THE ARM UNABLE TO HOLD THE VISOR IN PLACE EFFECTIVELY, OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. I WENT TO TOYOTA WHO SAID THAT THE RECALL IS EXPIRED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FULL PRICE. I NEVER RECEIVED INFORMATION REGARDING THE RECALL.

THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING AND IT PUTS A GLARE IN FRONT WINDSHIELD DAY AND NIGHT WHICH MAKE IT HARD TO SEE. I BOUGHT CAR FROM ITS ORIGINAL OWNER AND IT WAS DOING THIS WHEN I GOT IT. I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS RECENTLY DETAILED, AND COME TO FIND OUT, THIS IS A PERMANENT ISSUE.

AFTER THE CAR ENGINE ODOMETER HIT 70.000 THE CAR STARTED TO BURN OIL MORE THAN NORMAL. I TOOK THE CAR FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE CAR HAD VERY LITTLE OIL. SINCE THEN I HAD TO ADD 3 QUARTS OF OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGE AT 78.000 AND 2 QUARTS OF OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGE AT 83.000 MILES.

TAKATA RECALL SUN VISORS FALLING DOWN

THE DASHBOARD IN MY CAMRY IS TACKY AND STICKY. I HAVE THE SERVICE BULLETIN BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS EXPIRED. IT IS REALLY A BAD ISSUE. TOYOTA HAS MADE BILLIONS FROM SELLING CARS IN AMERICA ALONE AND THEY ALLOWED DEFECTIVE MATERIALS TO USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THEIR CARS AND THAT IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER. THIS SHOULD BE A TOTAL RECALL IN PLACE OF A SERVICE BULLETIN. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD SHOULD SOMEONE COME IN CONTACT WITH THIS DEFECTIVE MATERIAL IN A CRASH.

THE DASHBOARD GLARE AND STICKY FALLING APART CONDITION IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE. WE WERE NEVER INFORMED THAT TOYOTA WAS REPLACING THESE DASHBOARDS. I HAVE A 2007 CAMRY WITH ONLY 80,000 MILES ON IT AND WANT TO HAVE THE DASHBOARD REPLACED. OBVIOUSLY THEY KNOW IT WAS DANGEROUSLY SHINY AND STICKY AS THEY REPLACE THEM FOR 10 YEARS. THE NATIONAL TOYOTA PEOPLE TOLD ME IT WAS TOO LATE FOR THEM TO HELP ME EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT'S AN ISSUE! WHAT IF ANYTHING CAN I DO?

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR BROKE, IT IS CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH SEEING.

MY DASH IS MELTING, STICKY AND VISIBILITY IS IMPAIRED BY GLARE. I JUST FOUND THIS INFORMATION OUT THROUGH A FRIEND. I PLACED A CALL TO TOYOTA THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY DASH. I DID NOT RECEIVE SAID RECALL. THIS GLARE IS IMPAIRING MY VISIBILITY. TOYOTA SAID THE RECALL WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY WILL NOT HONOR REPAIR. AGAIN I DID NOT RECEIVE RECALLS. I HAVE BEEN AT THE SAME ADDRESS FOR 20 YEARS. I DID RECEIVE THE OTHER 2 RECALLS AND THEY HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. NOW ASK YOURSELF IF I ADDRESSED THE OTHER TWO RECALLS WHY WOULD I NOT HAVE ADDRESSED THIS ONE. THE CAMRY HAS 76680 MILES ON IT IT HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER. I THINK NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. SAFETY HAZARD WORK WITH ME HERE.

ISSUE 1: RECALL ON STICKY DASH REGISTERED WITH QUALITY IMPORTS OF FWB IN 2016 AND NEVER RESOLVED. I CHECKED BACK WITH THEM REPEATEDLY AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS ON BACK-ORDER. THEY HAVE NOW MOVED LOCATIONS. ISSUE 2: DRIVER'S SIDE SUN-VISOR WILL NOT MAINTAIN POSITION. IT FLOPS DOWN IN DRIVER'S VISION. BOTH ISSUES RESULTED WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS STICKY, CRACKING DASHBOARD FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND IT PROGRESSIVELY GETS WORSE EACH SUMMER. IT STARTED OUT A LITTLE TACKY WHEN IT HAD GOTTEN HOT FROM THE SUMMER HEAT AND IT HAS PROGRESSED TO A STICKY, GOOEY MESS THAT CANNOT BE PROPERLY CLEANED. IT REMINDS ME OF THOSE OLD AUBURN COLORED FLY STRIPS WE USED TO HANG FROM THE CEILING WHEN WE WERE KIDS. CRACKS STARTED APPEARING LAST SUMMER AND NOW SEVERAL MORE HAVE APPEARED THIS SUMMER. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF A RECALL AND I JUST FOUND IT ONLINE THIS MORNING WHILE SEARCHING FOR A CLEANING SOLUTION. I PLAN ON OWNING THIS VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 5 YEARS AND I FEAR THE DASHBOARD WILL BE AN ABSOLUTE DISASTER BY THEN.

STICKY, SHINY DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD HAS GOTTEN SOFT AND GOOEY AND IS NOW VERY SHINY. IT MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD ON A SUNNY DAY. I HAVE LOOKED IT UP ON LINE AND IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. SUPPOSEDLY TOYOTA NOTIFIED OWNERS AND OFFERED TO REPLACE SOME OF THEM BUT WE MOVED AND WERE NEVER NOTIFIED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I CANT FOR THE LIFE OF ME UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A FULL BLOWN RECALL. AGAIN, ON A SUNNY DAY THERE IS SO MUCH GLARE FROM THE DASH ONTO THE WINDSHIELD THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT.

1. BACKGROUND THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD BECAME "STICKY" ON OR ABOUT JUNE 12, 2018. THE ENTIRE DASH IS NOW COVERED WITH A GLUE-LIKE RESIDUE. THE TOYOTA WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM (ZE6) COVERING THIS PROBLEM EXPIRED ON MAY 31, 2017. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THE DASH UNDER THE WARRANTY PROGRAM (TOYOTA CASE #'S 1806131876, 1806210691). 2. SAFETY-RELATED ISSUES A. ON WARM, SUNNY DAYS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, THE STICKY DASH HAS A VERY BRIGHT SHINE. THE SHINY DASH PROJECTS A GLOSSY, TEXTURED IMAGE OF THE DASH ONTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS CAN OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS EITHER STATIONARY OR MOVING. THIS CONDITION IMPEDES MY FIELD OF VISION AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO FOCUS AND CLEARLY SEE THE ROAD AHEAD, OTHER VEHICLES, AND PEDESTRIANS. B. DURING THE SUMMER SEASON, INTERIOR CAR TEMPERATURES CAN REACH BETWEEN 130 AND 170 DEGREES. WHAT TOXINS ARE BEING RELEASED IN THE CAR INTERIOR FROM THE INTERACTION OF EXTREME HEAT, UV RADIATION, AND THE GLUE-LIKE RESIDUE? WHAT ARE THE SHORT AND LONG TERM HEALTH RISKS FROM INHALING POTENTIALLY TOXIC AIR IN A CONFINED SPACE WHILE DRIVING? SUMMARY BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES NOTED ABOVE, MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT I AM DRIVING AN "UNSAFE" VEHICLE THAT IS ENDANGERING MYSELF, OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD, AND PEDESTRIANS. NO DRIVER SHOULD HAVE TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE DUE TO A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WHICH RESULTS IN DIMINISHED ROAD VISIBILITY AND POTENTIALLY INTERIOR CAR TOXINS. THEREFORE, THIS IS NO LONGER A WARRANTY ISSUE BUT A SERIOUS "SAFETY" ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

MAKING THE ARM UNABLE TO HOLD THE VISOR IN PLACE EFFECTIVELY, INCREASING THE RISK OF IT OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER." THIS SHOULD NOT BE BROKEN, AND IF THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL, I WOULD TO HAVE THIS FIXED.

WHEN YOU PRESS THE PUSH START BUTTON TO START THE CAR WHEN IT IS PARKED, IT USUALLY TAKES 5-6 TRIES BEFORE IT TURNS ON IN THE MORNING WHEN LEAVING FOR WORK. THE LIGHT WILL STAY RED AND WON'T TURN GREEN. I GET A MESSAGE THAT SAYS CHECK VCS SYSTEMS. IT HAPPENS WHEN I LEAVE THE CAR FOR LONGER PERIODS. IT IS NOT INFREQUENT. IT IS VERY TIME CONSUMING AND INCONVENIENT.

MELTING, STICKY AND SHINY DASHBOARD. THE SHINY DASHBOARD CREATES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING A POOR VISIBILITY. THE UNSAFE AND FAULTY DASHBOARD IS PREVENTING A GOOD VISIBILITY DAY OR NIGHT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS FOR 10 YEARS ONLY. I ALSO CONTACTED TOYOTA AND ALSO STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME WITH THE PROBLEM. THE CAR CONTINUES TO BE IN SERVICE UNTIL I FIND A SOLUTION. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE FAULTY REPAIR.

JUST PURCHASE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE FROM STERLING MCCALL TOYOTA A FEW MONTHS AGO AND NOW JUST FINDING OUT THAT THE CAR HAS A OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH NO INDICATION THAT THE ENGINE HAD EVER HAD AND PROBLEMS NOW IT'S A THE ENGINE HAS POSSIBLY BLOWN OUT OR LOCKED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE IT WILL NOT START. I PAID FOR THIS VEHICLE IN FULL IN CASH FROM THE DEALER I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW TO GET MY MONEY BACK FOR THE VEHICLE SALE PRICE AND THE OTHER MINOR REPAIRS THAT I MADE TO THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE KILLED ME AND MY CHILDREN IT JUST TURNED OFF WHILE WE WERE DRIVING HOME DURING THE DAY, ALMOST CAUSED A CAR ACCIDENT.

THE DASHBOARD HAS RECENTLY STARTED "MELTING" AND HAS BECOME STICKY AND SHINY, CREATING A VERY DISTRACTING GLARE WHILE DRIVING IN THE SUNLIGHT THAT OBSTRUCTS MY VISIBILITY. ALTHOUGH TOYOTA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY PREVIOUSLY FOR THIS PROBLEM, I WAS NOT HAVING THIS ISSUE AT THE TIME THE WARRANTY WAS OFFERED. WHEN I CALLED THEM UP ASKING THEM TO REPLACE THEIR DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD, I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS "TOO OLD" TO QUALIFY AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY HUNDREDS (PERHAPS THOUSANDS?!) OF DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THEIR OWN SAFETY HAZARD. SAFETY HAZARDS CAUSED BY TOYOTA'S OWN NEGLIGENCE SHOULD NOT BE THE CUSTOMER'S FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX!

EXSECIVE OIL CONSUMPTION

I AM FILING COMPLAINT ON 2007 CAMRY BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. FROM RESEARCH ON ISSUE, I UNDERSTAND THAT SAFETY ISSUES CAN OCCUR DUE TO THE ENGINES SIEZING UP AND THE CAR CAN QUIT RUNNING WHILE I'M DRIVING. NOT SURE ABOUT ENGINE CATCHING FIRE. I HAVE PERSUED DIFFERENT AVENUES WITH TOYOTA TO CORRECT ISSUE SINCE THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM FACTORY ENGINEERING. BUT TO NO AVAIL. THIS WAS ALREADY AN ISSUE AT TIME I PURCHASED VEHICLE WITH 64,190 MILES. HOWEVER, I WAS NOT INFORMED OF ANY TSB NOR RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATIONS OF PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD CAR SERVICED APPROXIMATELY EVERY 3,000 MILES WITH MOTORCRAFT OIL. IT WAS NOT UNTIL 8-25-17 WHEN I WAS ASKED TO SIGN A DISCLAIMER LETTING ME KNOW OIL WAS OFF DIPSTICK. WHEN I CHECKED PREVIOUS RECORDS I FOUND OUT THE CAMRY HAD BEEN LOW ON OIL ( OFF STICK) EACH TIME SERVICED. (MY 1997 CAMRY I OWNED PRIOR TO THIS 2007 NEVER USED ANY OIL IN BETWEEN CHANGES AND IT HAD 176,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I LET IT GO). THUS, AFTER THE 8-25-17 SERVICE AND DOING RESEARCH I BECAME AWARE OF TOYOTA'S ISSUES AND THUS BEGAN A FRUITLESS BATTLE WITH TOYOTA. IT SEEMS THAT EVEN THOUGH I BEGAN FOLLOWING UP WITH TOYOTA AS SOON AS I BECAME AWARE OF ISSUE 8-25-17 THAT MY DOFU WAS 6-27-07. DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN I JUST MISSED THE DEADLINE. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE WHOLEHEARTEDLY THAT THIS IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AND THAT TOYOTA SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT SINCE IT IS AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING! THIS IS IMPACTING VISIBILITY BY CAUSING EXTREME GLARE SO THAT IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD ON SUNNY DAYS. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND APPARENTLY OUR DEALERSHIP HAD THE WRONG CITY LISTED FOR OUR ADDRESS WHICH MEANS WE DIDN'T GET THE SERVICE BULLETIN AND NOW WE ARE OUTSIDE OF THE 10 YEAR WINDOW BECAUSE WE PURCHASED IN NOV OF 2006. GIVE ME A BREAK! THIS IS ONE OF 5 TOYOTA'S WE CURRENTLY OWN AND THE REASON WE BUY TOYOTA'S IS BECAUSE THEY LAST. OUR CAMRY JUST HIT 84K MILES AND I EXPECT IT TO LAST MANY YEARS TO COME, BUT THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING! WE CALLED TOYOTA TODAY AND THEY SAID "I'M SORRY BUT YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW WE OFFERED FOR SERVICE" AND "I'M SORRY YOUR DEALERSHIP DIDN'T PROPERLY UPDATE YOUR ADDRESS WHEN YOU GAVE IT TO THEM....BUT YOU ARE OUTSIDE THE WINDOW". THIS IS RIDICULOUS. HOW CAN A MELTING DASHBOARD NOT BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IT'S MAKES VISIBILITY DIFFICULT DUE TO GLARE AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. OURS DIDN'T BECOME A PROBLEM UNTIL THIS SUMMER AND NOW WE FIND OUT THE SERVICE BULLETIN IS CLOSED. I SEE ONLINE PEOPLE ARE WAITING YEARS TO GET REPLACEMENTS....THIS IS JUST TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. THE DASHBOARD IS DEFECTIVE AND TOYOTA IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY HERE. THESE CARS ARE BUILT TO LAST DECADES AND TO HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN AND NOT AN OFFICIAL RECALL IS JUST WRONG. WE NEVER RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION AND THE PROBLEM BECAME SEVERELY WORSE THIS SUMMER. WE'RE ABOUT A YEAR PAST THE 10 YEARS AS WE BOUGHT OUR CAR IN NOV OF 2016. WHAT CAN WE DO? THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE STICKY GOO THAT IS NOW MY DASHBOARD. YOU JUST CAN'T SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD ON SUNNY DAYS, IT'S A TRAVESTY.

TOYOTA WARRANTY POLICY BULLETIN POL12-03 DOES NOT COVER THIS DEFECT FOR MY VIN #; THEREFORE, I DID NOT FIND OUT ABOUT THIS WARRANTY POLICY BULLETIN BEFORE THE EXPIRATION PERIOD OF SEVEN YEARS FROM FIRST USE. CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY INDICATED THAT THIS REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR MY CAR SINCE IT IS NOT ON THE LIST OF AFFECTED VIN #S. THIS SUN VISOR SHOULD BE THE SAME PART NUMBER FOUND IN AFFECTED VIN #S. FROM SEVERAL ONLINE TOYOTA CAR OWNER FORUMS, THIS TYPE OF ISSUE IS COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR OWNERS OF CARS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY POLICY BULLETIN BECAUSE THEIR VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE LIST.

MY CARMY HAS HAD THE STICKY DASH PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR AND I FINALLY DID SOME RESEARCH ABOUT IT, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT TOYOTA HAD A WARRANTY PROGRAM THAT EXPIRED A MONTH GO, 31 MAY 2017. I CALLED THEM UP AND THEY PROMPTLY REFUSED TO REPLACE MY DASH. THERE ARE STILL MANY CARS OUT THERE THAT WERE NOT FIXED ADN THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE DISTRACTING GLARE DURING HIGH HEAT. CAN ANYBODY SUGGEST A COURSE OF ACTION? MAYBE POTENTIALLY SUING THEM TO GET THEM TO REPAIR MORE CARS?

Mileage: 130,000

"TAKATA RECALL" SUN VISOR FLOPPED DOWN ON DRIVERS SIDE. APPARENTLY IT'S AN ISSUE WITH 2007-2011 CAMRY'S. CARS THAT ARE OLDER THAN MINE AREN'T HAVING THIS PROBLEM. TOYOTA SHOULD RECOGNIZE THIS ISSUE.

THE DASHBOARD APPEARS TO BE MELTING. LEARNED THAT THERE IS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT ON THE VEHICLE BUT TOYOTA SAYS THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT ENDED AS OH MAY 31, 2017. CAR WAS PURCHASE ON 2/8/08 WITHIN THE GEN YEAR MARK AS A CERTIFIED PRE OWNED VEHICLE. DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE OR CALL ABOUT THIS WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT AND WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE IT WAS A MANDATE BY THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC ADMINISTRATION

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY CAMRY, I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD WAS VERY SHINY AND I THOUGHT MAYBE THAT WAS DUE TO THE DEALERSHIP CLEANING IT UP FOR ME BECAUSE I JUST PURCHASED IT. OVER TIME I NOTICED THAT THE SHINE STARTED TO BECOME AN ISSUE WITH ME WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY DURING THE HOT AND SUNNY TIME FRAME OF THE DAY. SO ONE DAY I DECIDED TO TAKE MY HAND AND JUST RUB THE DASH TO SEE IF IT'LL TAKE SOME OF THE SHINE AWAY AND AS SOON AS I TOUCHED IT MY HAND GOT STUCK AND BURNT FROM THE HEAT OF THE "STICKY DASHBOARD" SO WHEN I GOT HOME I DECIDED TO TRY AND CLEAN IT WITH SOME SOAP AND WATER TO SEE IF IT'LL REMOVE THE STICKINESS AND UNFORTUNATELY IT DIDN'T WORK. MY COUSIN HAS THE SAME CAR AND I CALLED HER TO SEE WHAT I SHOULD DO AND MUCH TO HER AMAZEMENT SHE DISCLOSED WITH ME THAT SHE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH HER 2007 CAMRY AS WELL. SO I TOOK MY CAR TO A GUY WHO DETAILS CARS AND NOT ONLY DID HE STATE THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ON THE 2007 CAMRY'S BUT HE HAS SEEN THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS SPECIFIC CAR IN OTHER STATES BECAUSE HE WAS FROM NY AND ALSO LIVED IN GEORGIA AND DETAILED CARS IN THOSE STATES AS WELL. THIS HAS BECOME A NUISANCE NOW BECAUSE IT IS BLINDING ME AS I DRIVE UNLESS I PUT A CLOTH OVER MY DASH AND THEN I HAVE TROUBLE REMOVING IT BECAUSE IT IS LITERALLY GLUED DOWN TO IT AFTER THE FACT. MY DAUGHTER UNBEKNOWNST TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS HOT DECIDED TO REACH UP AND WIPE IT SO THE GLARE WOULD GO AWAY AS WELL AND SHE BURNT HER HAND TOO. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED AS THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT ON THESE CARS.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND THE WHOLE DASHBOARD OF THE CAR IS EXTREMELY STICKY. AS IF THE PUT GLUE ALL OVER IT. I WANT TO KNOW HOW I AM ABLE TO REMOVE THIS STICKINESS WITHOUT HAVING TO CHANGE THE WHOLE DASHBOARD.

TAKATA RECALL: I TOOK MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY 4 CYL FOR THE BULLETIN IT HAS OF OIL CONSUPTION AND IT PASS THE TEST TWICE, I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG BUT AS THE TECHNICIANS TOLD ME IT WAS OKAY I DROVE IT LIKE THAT FOR SOME MONTHS STILL HAD TO ADD EVERY 1,000 MILES 1 Q OF OIL. KEPT DOING THIS UNTIL MY ENGINE BLEW. NOW IRS MY FAULT AND THEY DONT WANT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. TOTAL UNJUSTICE FROM TOYOTA.

FOR SOME TIME MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN STICKY AND GLOSSY. THE REFLECTION AT NIGHT IN ADDITION TO GLARE FROM ONCOMING CARS IS BLINDING AND A SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE TRIED NUMEROUS PRODUCTS IN AN ATTEMPT TO CLEAN/REMOVE THIS TACKINESS. NOTHING WORK. ALSO THE PASSENGER VISOR "HINGE" SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN HOT AND BENT THAT I CAN'T TO REATTACH THE SOR.

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS MELTING AND HAS TAKEN ON A VERY STICKY AND SHINY APPEARANCE. EVERY LITTLE THING STICKS TO THE DASH AND IT CAN'T BE CLEANED. NOT ONLY CAN'T IT BE CLEANED, IT ALSO CREATES A LARGE DANGEROUS GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING IN THE DAY.

MY MOTHER HAS A STICKY DASHBOARD AND THIS CAUSES A POTIENTIAL GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. SHE HAS BEEN IN TWO ACCIDENTS SINCE SHE GOT THIS CAR AND I AM CONCERNED THIS COULD BE IMPEDING HR VISION AND AM CONCERNED FOR HER SAFETY.LEXUS NOTICED THE STICKINESS AND REFERRED ME TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP.I CALLED THE MAIN TOYOTA NUMBER AND THE REFERRED IS TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP.THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP LEFT A MESSAGE ON MY MOM'S ANSWERING MACHINE BEFORE LOOKING AT THE CAR THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL.I FEEL MY MOM HAD BEEN DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BECAUSE SHE IS ELDERLY AND HER FIRST LANGUAGE IS NOT ENGLISH.ANY ASSISTANCE IS APPRECIATED.

ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO ZERO AT SAME TIME ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS LIT UP ON DASH. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, ABS AND BRAKE DASH LIGHTS TURNED OFF AT THE SAME TIME SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE JUMPED BACK TO CURRENT SPEED INDICATION.

IT IS MY HABIT TO ASK THE DEALER EVERY TIME I GO THERE FOR SERVICE IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS OR ADVISORIES OPEN ON MY 07 CAMRY, THEY HAVE ALWAYS SAID NO! SO APPARENTLY THEY LIED TO ME ON THIS ISSUE ANY WAY, AND I HAD NO OTHER WAY TO FIND OUT SINCE THEY DID NOT DISCLOSE IT TO THE PUBLIC. MY CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A BUSY CITY STREET GOING AROUND A TURN WHEN IT CAME DOWN AND TEMPORARY BLINDED ME. IF A PEDESTRIAN HAD HOPED OUT TO CROSS THE STREET, I WOULD OF STRUCT THAT PERSON!

STICKY AND MELTING DASHBOARD

TOOK MY 2007 CAMRY TO AL HENDRICKSON DUE TO AN OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS AN UNDERLYING PROBLEM INVOLVING THE TIMING COVER. THEY REFUSED TO DO THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST UNTIL I PAID $1,500 TO HAVE THE OIL TIMING COVER REPAIRED.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS BECOME VERY STICKY -- ALMOST APPEARS TO BE MELTING. IT IS EXTREMELY SHINY AND CASTING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE, WHICH CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS.

MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR BROKE OUT OF NOWHERE. I WAS LOOKING ONLINE AND I SAW WHERE TOYOTA WAS REPLACING THEM FOR THIS SUCH REASON. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 7 YEARS FROM FIRST USE. MY WARRANTY RAN OUT 2 YEARS AGO, SO I GUESS I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I THINK SINCE IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE, IT SHOULD BE REPLACED OR AT THE LEAST GIVEN A DISCOUNT ON HAVING TO BUY A NEW ONE.

MELTING DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS PASSENGER SIDE VISOR BROKEN TWICE AFTER REPAIRS. NO ONE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IT SEEMS TO BREAK ON ITS OWN

MELTING/DECOMPOSING DASHBOARD CAR WAS PURCHASE FROM MY SON-IN-LAW/ELDEST DAUGHTER (BOUGHT FROM HIS MOTHER NEW) FOR BY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER. AFTER A MONTH OR TWO AFTER THE PURCHASE, I NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR WAS PITTING AND WAS ALL MARKED UP AND LITERALLY DECOMPOSING. I WRONGLY BLAMED MY DAUGHTER AND HER FRIENDS FOR THIS APPARENT ABUSE UNTIL HEARING ABOUT THIS ISSUE ONLINE. AFTER MY PROPHETIC APOLOGY TO MY DAUGHTER, I ASKED HER TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALER TO "GET THE BALL ROLLING". I WANTED HER TO LEARN HOW TO DO THIS ON HER OWN. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER AFTER BEING ASSURED THAT THE REPLACEMENT DASH WOULD BE AT THE DEALER, THEY TOLD HER THAT IT WAS THE WRONG COLOR AND WOULD HAVE TO BE RE-ORDERED. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THIS WHOLE ORDEAL WAS STARTED, THEY EXPLAINED THAT THERE WERE NO DASHES IN THE US WHATSOEVER. I THEN DECIDED TO CALL TOYOTA US DIRECTLY TO EXPLAIN OUR SITUATION. I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING AND THEY VERIFIED THAT THE ACTUAL ORDER DATE WAS MARCH 8TH 2016 (WHAT??) AND THAT THE COMPANY CONTRACTED TO PRODUCE THESE DASHES CURRENTLY HAS A 6-18 MONTH BACKLOG. I THEN ASKED IF THERE HAPPENED TO BE AN AIRBAG ISSUE AND THE DASH WAS DAMAGED WOULD I HAVE TO WAIT TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. THEY SAID NOT LIKELY...SO WHAT THIS TELLS ME IS THAT THE DASHBOARDS ARE OUT THERE "SOMEWHERE" BUT NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PARTICULAR RECALL AND OUT-OF-WARRANTY CAMPAIGN (DIFFERENT BUCKET). I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT THIS CAMPAIGN CAN BE TRANSFERRED TO THE NEW OWNER (PROVIDE THEM WITH THE CASE #). I ALSO LEARNED THAT TOYOTA IS NOT THAT HIGH QUALITY, BEGIN ALL- END ALL UBER AUTO MANUFACTURERS THAT ALL OF THE MAGAZINES LEAD US TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS.

IN THE FRONT PANEL AREA, WHERE THE GEAR SHIFTER IS, THERE'S A SMALL COMPARTMENT HOUSING A SWITCH WITH WHICH I CAN MANUALLY PRESS TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE WHEN THE CAR WON'T DO THIS BY POSITIONING THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO THE REVERSE POSITION BY PULLING IT DOWN.. MY PROBLEM IS, WHEN I TAKE IT TO BE CHECKED..THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO IF IT'S NOT HAPPENING AT THE TIME I BRING IT IN, WHICH IS ALWAYS THE CASE AS IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NEVER DOES IT WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP! THIS IS FRUSTRATING AND HAS CAUSED PROBLEMS IN DIFFERENT WAYS. I HOPE SOMEONE TAKES NOTICE OF MY PROBLEM WHILE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY IS STILL IN EFFECT SO THAT I CAN GET THIS FIXED. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS IT. I NEVER KNEW WHO TO SEND A 'COMPLAINT' TO. THANKS AGAIN!

MY 2007 TOYOTA,DASHBOARD IS MELTING,I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BACK IN 2012,I AM STILL WAITING FOR MY DASH TO BE REPLACED.

THE INSTRUMENT THAT SHOW SPEED, RPM, GASOLINE, ETC WAS GOING WARY. THE SPEED AND THE RPM GO UP AND DOWN, BRAKE LIGHT COME ON, ABS LIGHT COME ON, ETC. I DO NOT HOW FAST I DRIVE. THIS HAPPENED AROUND EVERY 5 MINS, RANDOMLY AND LAST FOR 1 MINS SOMETIMES 10 MINS. THE AIR CONDITIONING STOP WORKING DURING THIS TIME. I CHECKED ONLINE AND I SAW MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM, THERE IS NOT RELATE ISSUE WITH THE WAY YOU DRIVE, THE WAY YOU DO ANYTHING IN THE CAR. I USED THE CARD SINCE NEW AND THE MILEAGE CURRENTLY ONLY 103K+, FOR 9 YEARS OLD CAR THIS IS VERY LOW MILEAGE.

I HAVE 2007 CAMRY WITH A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE, BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. TAKE IT TO DEALER N TELL THEM I COULDNT READ NO CODES BECAUSE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CAN HOU GUYS HOOK UP TO YOUR COMPUTER? SERVICE ADVISOR SAID OK WE'LL TAKE A LOOK. WHEN THEY'RE DONE, ADVISOR TOLD ME WE COULDNT GET NO CODES THERE'S NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, &CHARGED ME $159. 2 TELL ME WHAT I ORIGINALLY TOLD HIM. RIP OFF.

THERE IS A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE THE SUN GLARE WILL REFLECT ON THE DASHBOARD WHICH BECAME VERY STICKY AND MELTING EVERYDAY, THAT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT WHEN THE SUN IS UP.

MY CAMRY HAS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED ONCE AGAIN IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS. TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON OIL BURNING UP BUT THEY CHECKED LAST TIME AND SAID IT'S OKAY. EVIDENTLY IT'S NOT. THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED BRAKE BOOSTER FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT ISSUE WHICH COSTS FROM $750-$1,200 WHICH IS HARD TO AFFORD. THIS KIND OF ISSUE CAN COST YOUR LIFE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND FIX IT SINCE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

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 .

OIL CONSUMPTION: AFTER 1149 MI, I CHECKED MY OIL AND THERE WAS BARLEY ANY OIL IN THE CAR. THE CAR HAS 149,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER SAID THAT USING A QT. OF OIL EVERY 1000 MI. WAS NORMAL. THEY SAID IT PASSED THE RECALL WHICH WAS TESTED AT 1000 MI. THEY REFUSED TO FIXED THE PROBLEM.

SOMETIMES THE GEAR SHIFTER WILL KICK IN AFTER I PRESS THE BRAKE, AND SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT KICK IN AND THAT'S WHEN I HAVE TO PUSH THE SWITCH MANNUALLY.

DASH BOARD IS VERY STICKY AND REFLECTS ON TO THE WIND SHILEDDURING DAY TIME- AN EXTREME HAZARD BECASUE I CAN'T SEE THRU SOMETIMES. TOYOTA HAS A WARRANTY ENHNACEMENT ON IT, DEALER ORDERED A REPLACEMENT BACK ON 07/29/2015 AND TOTYOTA HAS NOT FULFILLED THE ORDER YET. WITH SUMMER COMING, IT'LL BE BRIGHT & SUNNY AND A HAZARD AGAIN.

TOYOTA RECALL: I TOOK MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL. THEY HAD A 3 PHASE TEST AND IT USED A QUART OF OIL AFTER 1000 MILES, BUT I HAD TO BRING IT IN A THIRD TIME, THEN THEY SAID I FAILED THE TEST AS I WENT OVER THE MILEAGE FOR THE 3RD VISIT. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY LET ME FILE A COMPLAINT BUT ALSO SAID I FAILED TO MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS AS I WENT OVER THE MILEAGE EVEN THOUGH IT HAD ALREADY USED A QUART OF OIL THE AFTER 1000 MILES. I ASKED FOR THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS AND THEY WERE VAGUE AND STATED THE DEALERSHIP MADE THE DETERMINATION AROUND TOYOTA'S GUIDELINES. I TOOK IT AGAIN FOR THE LAST AND FINAL OIL RECALL AND THEY THEN SAID I WENT OVER THE MILEAGE FOR THE OIL RECALL TEST THE SECOND TIME (1700 MILES) THAT IT WAS A BIT LOW AND THEY TOPPED IT OFF AS A CURTESY, BUT I WAS NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. TODAY AFTER 3000 MILES FROM MY LAST OIL CHANGE AND THEIR TOPPING IT OFF THE OIL WAS DOWN 4 QUARTS OF OIL. I FEEL THAT THAT TOYOTA IS MAKING THIS DIFFICULT SO THAT A CONSUMER FAILS THE RECALL AND THEY DO NOT HAVE TO FIX THE PISTONS ON THE ENGINE.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CRACKING. PIECES ARE STARTING TO FALL OFF. NOT SURE HOW THIS MAY AFFECT INSIDE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AS THEY MAY BE EXPOSED THROGH THE CRACKS. IN CASA OF AN ACCIDENT THE DASBOARD MAY CRUMBLE AND PIECES MAY CAUSE BODY DAMAGE TO FACE AND EYES. TOYOTA KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM BUT IN TAKING TO MUCH TIME TO MAKE REPAIRS. IN FACT NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE IN MY LOCAL DEALER TO ANY OF THE AFECTED UNITS DUE TO LACK OF PARTS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS MELTING AND IS VERY STICKY, ESPECIALLY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS I HAVE READ SEVERAL POSTS REGARDING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE AND NOTICE THAT NO ONE HAS HAD THIS ISSUE CORRECTED BY TOYOTA FOR FREE, OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A VEHICLE MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO DEAL WITH BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I PURCHASED A TOYOTA VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE REPUTATION ON QUALITY & CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT UNTIL NOW I'VE NOT SEEN EITHER OF THESE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT & MAKE IT RIGHT FOR ALL AFFECTED CONSUMERS. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CLEAN DASHBOARD AT ALL. EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT AND IF YOU TOUCH IT WITH YOUR FINGER NAIL-STICKY CHUNKS COME OUT..... THE GLARE IS AWFUL AND SINCE BOTH OF MY VISORS HAVE BROKEN OFF I CANT USE THOSE TO HELP...

THE CAR WILL BE RUNNING PERFECT AND OUT OF NO WHERE MY CAR WILL START DECELERATING. IT WILL STILL LOSE SPEED EVEN AS I HAVE THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I WENT FROM 60MPH TO 15MPH WITH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. FINALLY IT WILL START GAINING SPEED BUT MY RPM'S HIT 6-7 AND ALMOST MAX OUT. I WAS ON A HIGHWAY WITH A SEMI TRUCK RIGHT BEHIND ME AS THIS HAPPENED CAUSING HIM TO ALMOST HIT ME. IT WAS HOOKED UP TO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND NO ERRORS OR PROBLEMS POPPED UP AT ALL. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM.

THE PRIMARY SAFETY CONCERNS REGARDING MY COMPLAINT ARE A MALFUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER AND A MALFUNCTIONING ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM; HOWEVER, THERE ARE OTHERS, WHICH I WILL DESCRIBE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT COMPLETELY CRAZY. SPECIFICALLY, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO (AS I WAS DRIVING 40MPH) THE TACHOMETER STARTED BOUNCING UP AND DOWN BETWEEN 0 AND 2 OR 3, THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON. THEN, EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL BEFORE I COULD PULL OVER. I SOON REALIZED ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS LIKE THE TEMP GAUGE GOING LIMP AND THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWING HOT AIR ALONG WITH OTHER THINGS. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED ALL TOGETHER BUT ON AND OFF AT RANDOM INTERVALS. I DID SOME RESEARCH, WHICH LED ME TO THE ABS ISSUE. ACCORDING TO OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THE REPAIR IS $2K-$3K AND MANY HAD STORIES OF DEALERS MAKING VARIOUS COSTLY REPAIRS THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I WORK FOR MINIMUM WAGE, THIS IS MY ONLY CAR, AND IT IS 110 DEGREES IN MY TOWN. DRIVING WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING HERE IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ONE PERSON SUGGESTED UNPLUGGING THE FAULTY ABS MODULE TO REGAIN AIR CONDITIONING. WHEN I DID THIS THE AIR CONDITIONING DID IN FACT START WORKING ALONG WITH THE TACHOMETER AND TEMP GAUGE. THE SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, AND SEAT BELT ALARM STILL DO NOT WORK. FURTHERMORE, THIS IS NO LONGER INTERMITTENT BUT CONSTANT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALL REMAIN ON. AN ABS MALFUNCTION COULD BE DISASTROUS IN WET WEATHER. THE LACK OF A SPEEDOMETER IS A SAFETY PROBLEM ON CITY ROADS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS AND NOT TO FORGET THE SEAT BELT ALARM OR THE ODOMETER, WHICH NO LONGER LOGS THE MILEAGE. MY 2007 CAMRY HAD LOW MILES FOR ITS AGE (<70K) WHEN THESE PROBLEMS FIRST OCCURRED; THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED AND WELL MAINTAINED. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM THOSE WITH THE VERY SAME PROBLEMS AND IT SEEMS LIKE A FAULTY PRODUCT IS TO BLAME.

LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE DANGER OF THE SITUATION FOUND THAT THE CAMRY HYBRID 2007 HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND TOYOTA AGREED TO EXTEND A 10 YEAR GUARANTEE OR 150K MILES UNTIL 2017. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS NOT VIABLE FOR ME NOW, AND CANNOT USE THE CAR, GIVEN THE SAFETY ISSUES INVOLVED.

(JUST GOOGLE, "2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ON". CONSUMER COMPLAINANTS ALLEGE THAT THE BOSCH ABS ECU HAS A FLAW IN CIRCUIT BOARD DESIGN.) THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM AND SO COMMON AS TO INDICATE THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED FREE BY TOYOTA. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING- IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

1. PLASTIC STRIP ON PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG KEEPS POPPING OPEN. 2. THE WHOLE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING; AND THE SUN BURNED A SPOT ON THE FRONT OF THE RADIO.

I TOOK MY TOYOTA IN TO TOYOTA RIVERSIDE CALIF. BOTH VISORS WOULD NOT STAY UP SO THE REPLACED AND CHARGED ME 223.26. ON MARCH 20TH 2015 THE DRIVERS SIDE WOULD NOT STAY UP AND I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND THE REPRESENATIVE SAID SINCE MY CAR WAS A 07 IT ONLY COVERED FOR THE RECALL 7 YEARS AND MY CARS MANUFACTURE DATED SEPT 07 SO I WAS 6 MONTHS TO LATE TO GET THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. SO I CALLED TOYOTA MOTOR CORP IN TORRANCE AND THEY INFORMED THAT SINCE I PAID FOR THE VISORS TO GET FIXED AND PAID FOR THEM THEY WOULD GIVE ME A REFUND BACK. THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE TO GET FIXED AND I TOLD THEM THAT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY KNEW I HAD ALREADY REPLACED THEM AND THE DRIVERS SIDE DID THE SAME THING AS THE ORIGINAL DEFECT. I THINK THIS IS THERE ISSUE TO REPLACE THE VISOR EVEN THOUGH IT WAS 6 MONTHS TO LATE FROM THE DATE THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. THEY NEVER FIXED THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM WITH THE VISOR RECALL, THEY JUST REPLACED IT. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET THE VISOR CORRECTED.

*******2ND COMPLAINT******WE BOUGHT A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN OCTOBER 06 AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING LOW OIL LEVELS FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS, THE OIL LEVEL HAS GOTTEN SO LOW THAT THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. WE HAVE BEEN REPORTING THE PROBLEM TO TWO SEPARATE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND THEY'VE ASKED ME TO RETURN THE CAR FOR OIL CHECKS AFTER 1000 MILES, WHICH SHOW A LOST OF OVER A QUART OF OIL. OUR TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN TELLING US THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THE CAMRY TO CONSUME OVER A QUART OF OIL AFTER 1000 TO 3,000 MILES AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM TO FIX. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH FIDELITY AND A SERVICE SPECIALIST BY THE NAME OF [XXX] AT TOYOTA OF ORLANDO BEEN GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND ABOUT GETTING FIDELITY TO GIVE THEM THE GO AHEAD TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. HE SAID THAT HE HAS CALLED FIDELITY A COUPLE OF TIMES TO GET AUTHORIZATION BUT THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN BACK WITH HIM BUT WILL CONTACT US WHEN HE GETS THE OK. IT HAS BEEN OVER TWO WEEKS SINCE HE SAID HE HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET THE GO AHEAD FROM FIDELITY, SO WE DECIDED TO CALL FIDELITY TO FIND OUT WHY THEY WERE DELAYING GIVING THE DEALERSHIP THE GO AHEAD TO FIX THE CAR, SEEING THAT WE HAVE THE PLATINUM PLACE. FIDELITY INFORMED US THAT NO ONE FROM TOYOTA OF ORLANDO HAS EVER CONTACTED THEM AT ANY TIME ABOUT OUR 2007 CAMRY. WE THEN SPOKE WITH A SERVICE MANAGER BY THE NAME OF [XXX] AND HE HAS BEEN GIVING ME THE SAME STORY ABOUT IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR THE CAMRY TO CONSUME OVER A QUART OF OIL BETWEEN 1000 TO 3000 MILES, SO THERE IS NOTHING TO FIX. WE HAVE OWNED OVER 8 CARS AND HAS NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A NEWER MODEL CAR LIKE OURS.

MY CAR HAS A STICKY DASHBOARD AND IT'S SLOWLY DETERIORATING. IN THE SUMMER TIME IT'S VERY STICKY AND EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT.

MY DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND SEEMS TO BE MELTING HAS A GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD, AND THE SIDE WINDOW CASING OVER AIRBAGS ALONG WINDSHIELD WINDOWS IS WARPED AND KEEP POPING OUT EXPOSEING WIRES.I BOUGHT THIS CAR ONE YEAR AGO AND AS I WAS TOLD IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS SO WHAT AM I TO DO?

DASHBOARD PANEL GAUGES STARTED TO FLUCTUATE. THEY BOUNCE UP AND DOWN. ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. AC STOPPED WORKING. I CALLED TO TOYOTA RECALL CENTER AND WAS DIRECTED TO GO TO A TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE THE CAR INSPECTED IN MY OWN COST....... *TR

Mileage: 164,000

STARTED THE CAR AND NOTICED THE ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHT WERE ON. TACHOMETER WAS JUMPING BETWEEN 0 AND 1000RPM. AIR CONDITIONER WASN'T WORKING. DROVE THE CAR A BIT WITH NO CHANGE EXCEPT THE TACHOMETER JUMPING A BIT HIGHER THAN 1 AND DROPPING BACK TO 0. SPEEDOMETER WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. AFTER A BIT MORE DRIVING, THE ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND THE GAUGES RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. AIR CONDITIONER ALSO STARTED WORKING. SINCE THIS INITIAL PROBLEM, THE GAUGES AND LIGHTS HAVE BEEN OPERATING WITH THE SAME INCONSISTENCY (JUMPING TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER SITTING AT 0, ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS ON).

DASHBOARD OF THIS CAR HAS BEEN MELTED, WHICH ALSO GIVES TROUBLE IN VISIBILTY. AND I BELIEVE POOR VISIBILITY WAS THE REASON BEHIND A CRASH AT 2 WAY STOP SIGN. AND IT MAY CAUSE PROBLEM IN FUTURE AS WELL. IT REALLY NEED A RECALL. OR REPLACEMENT WITH REASONABLE COST.

DASHBOARD IS VERY SOFT AND SCRATCHES EASILY. CONDITION OF DASHBOARD IS GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES BY DASHBOARD IS NOW STARTING TO CRACK EVEN THOUGH CAR IS PROPERLY MANTAINED AND INTERIOR IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

THE STICKY AND MELTING DASHBOARD. THE DASH FEELS LIKE CLAY AND IS PLIABLE, IT CAN EASILY BE PEELED AWAY. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT WIPING IT DOWN WOULD HELP BUT IT SEEMS OVER TIME THE DASHBOARD CANNOT BE CLEANED, TOO STICKY. IT'S EXTREMELY ANNOYING BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY SO SHINY THAT WE GET A LOT OF GLARE ESPECIALLY ON A BRIGHT DAY. THIS IS BECOMING A REALLY BIG ISSUE BECAUSE IT REFLECTS ONTO THE WINDOW WHEN DRIVING, WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT/ISSUE THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO OWN UP TO AND FIX BEFORE SOMEONE GET SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY CAR GETS STICKY FROM THE HEAT AND CANNOT BE CLEANED OR TREATED. DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF DAY AND THE DIRECTION OF THE SUN IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE OF THE GLARE OFF OF THE GLOSSY/STICKY DASHBOARD. I THOUGHT THIS WAS UNIQUE TO ME UNTIL I PERFORMED AN INTERNET SEARCH. WHEN I CALLED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN FORT WORTH, TX, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT. I THEN CONTACTED A TRIM SHOP WHO TOLD ME THAT THEY HEAR ABOUT IT ALL OF THE TIME. I THINK TOYOTA NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM SO THAT IT IS SAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO DRIVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND HELP IN FINDING A SOLUTION. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE HAS DASH BOARD MELTED WITH HEAT FROM SUN. THE PLASTIC COATING HAS TURNED INTO A STICKY GLUE LIKE SURFACE, IF I TOUCH THE SURFACE WITH HAND MY HAND GETS STUCK TO IT LIKE SUPER GLUE. FRONT DASH BOARD NOW REFLECT DIRECT LIGHT FROM SUN AND CREATES A VERY BRIGHT GLARE AND AFFECTS DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER VISIBILITY OF ROAD. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA COMPANY AND THEY DECLINED TO OFFER ANY HELP BECAUSE MY CAR IS MORE THEN 3 YEARS OLD AND IT HAS MORETHEN 36000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HOPE TO SEE THE RESPONSE FROM MANUFACTURE THANKS. *TR

ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME SUDDENLY ON AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. I TESTED THE BREAK AND I HAD TO PUSH HARD TO MAKE IT WORK. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND AT 65 MPH. I GOT REALLY SCARED AND AFTER A WHILE EVERYTHING CAME BACK TO NORMAL. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY AND HAPPENING FREQUENTLY.

MY CAR WAS PURCHASED USED IN 2009. I'VE KEPT UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE AND OTHER ISSUES SUCH AS THE ENGINE COILS GOING OUT. TODAY, MY CAR STOPPED AS I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET. NO, THERE WASN'T A CRASH BUT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN. THE CAR IS A 2007. LUCKILY I STOPPED IN FRONT OF THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I FOUND OUT THAT MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. IT WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING PRIOR TO TODAY. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $4200 TO REPAIR. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. I'M STILL SHOCKED THAT THE TRANSMISSION DIED. I PURCHASED A TOYOTA BECAUSE MY PREVIOUS CAR, A CHEVY, WAS GIVING ME SO MANY PROBLEMS. WHEN ASKED WHY WOULD IT JUST DIE WITHOUT WARNING...I WAS TOLD IT JUST DID. THERE'S NO WAY OF KNOWING. I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING THAT WHEN I GO FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE. *TR

Mileage: 65,000

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE VISOR FAILED ON ME WHEN I PUT IT DOWN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE SUN VISORS. THIS ISSUE CAN BE A POTENTIAL HAZARD AS IT OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO MOVE THE VISOR TO THE SIDE IN ORDER TO HAVE A FULL VIEW AHEAD. IF THE VISOR IS LEFT IN FRONT OF ME THEN IT IS HARD TO SEE TRAFFIC AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS IN FRONT OF ME AND CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY SON IN-LAW HAS A SIMILAR CAR AND RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA PROVIDING AN ADDITIONAL WARRANTY FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT IT WAS ONLY SPECIFIC TO HIS VIN NUMBER. IF THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WHY DO THEY NOT SEND IT OUT TO EVERYONE. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT JUST HANGS DOWN IN THE WAY. IT WAS NOT DAMAGED IN ANY WAY THAT I CAN SEE. JUST NORMAL USE. WHEN DRIVING I HAVE TO EITER MOVE IT TO THE SIDE TO SEE. THIS HAS CAUSED SOME VISIBILITY PROBLEMS WHEN IT IS VERY BRIGHT OUTSIDE AND YOU ARE DRIVING INTO THE SUN.I HAD TO REMOVE IT AS IT WAS IMPEADING MY VISION DURING DRIVING. NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE ONE-HANDED IN ORDER TO SHIELD MY EYES FROM THE SUN. TOYOTA WILL NOT REPLACE AS A WARRANTIED ITEM. *TT

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FALL DOWN ON 8/1/2011. IT WILL NOT STAY HOLD UP WHICH WILL BLOCK DRIVER'S SIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS POTENTIAL AND SERIOUS POSSIBILITY THAT THIS FALL DOWN SUN VISOR MAY CAUSE A CAR ACCIDENT. EVER SINCE LAST YEAR, NUMEROUS OF PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED TO TOYOTA THAT 2007 TO 2011 CAMRY HAS THIS PROBLEM. AS OF TODAY, 8/8/2011, TOYOTA HAS YET TO REPLY TO THIS PROBLEM OR MAKE ANY RECALL TO THE PROBLEMATIC MODEL. IN FACT, TOYOTA ASKS THEIR CUSTOMERS WHO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM TO PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT SUN VISOR WHICH MAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE.

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 A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND REQUESTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO LOOK AT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ON JANUARY 22, 2010, THE CAMRY HAD TO BE TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO A BUSTED OIL TUBE (WHICH WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS A RECALL) AND AGAIN, I ASKED THE REPAIR DEPARTMENT TO CHECK THE PEDAL. MY HUSBAND ACCOMPANIED ME TO PICK THE CAR UP LATER THAT AFTERNOON AND WHEN I ASKED IF THE PEDAL HAD BEEN CHECKED, THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT THE PEDAL HAD BEEN CHECKED AND HE HAD DRIVEN THE CAR AND COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS. THE SERVICE ADVISOR RELATED TO US THAT "SOMETHING ABOUT A RECALL WAS ON THE NEWS ABOUT 4:00 A.M. THAT VERY MORNING". AFTER THE PUBLIC RECALL AND TWO LETTERS ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS FINALLY CONTACTED BY THE DEALERSHIP TO BRING MY AUTOMOBILE IN FOR RECALL REPAIRS. SINCE THAT TIME, I'VE TAKEN THE CAMRY IN FOR A STEERING WHEEL CONCERN, WHICH WARRANTED NO APPARENT CAUSE, AND RECENTLY EXPERIENCED ANOTHER INCIDENT WITH ACCELERATION. THE ACCELERATION WAS MORE OF A REVVING OF THE ENGINE RATHER THAN AN OUT OF CONTROL ACCELERATION. I WOULD LIKE OTHERS TO KNOW ABOUT THESE INCIDENCE AND HOPEFULLY AVOID INJURIES. [XXX] *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND HAVE OWNED IT SINCE 2001. FROM ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THE GAS PEDAL SOMETIMES GETS STUCK. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, AND I HIT THE GAS PEDAL, IT SOMETIMES DOES NOT DEPRESS. I HAVE TO PUT A LOT OF BODY WEIGHT ON IT TO GET IT TO DEPRESS. THIS CAUSES INITIAL SUDDEN ACCELERATION.

I WENT TO "CHAMPION TOYOTA HOUSTON, TX 77034" FOR RECALL PROBLEM ON MARCH 19TH. THE SERVICE ADVISOR NAMED JACY BLAIR SIGNED ME ON AND GAVE ME AN APPOINMENT FOR NEXT DAY MORNING( 9:00 AM I GUESS). WHILE I WAS THERE, I FEEL LIKE CHECKING MY BREAKS TOO SO I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISOR ABOUT THAT AND SHE CALLED HER TECHNICIAN. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED ME TO FIX MY BREAKS RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE ITS SEFTY PROBLEM AND ADVISE ME TO LEAVE MY CAR THERE FOR THAT DAY COS THEY HAVE TO FIX "RECALL THING" TOO. I AGGRED AND REMIND HIM NOT TO FORGET ABOUT " RECALL THING" AGAIN BEFORE I LEFT. NEXT DAY THEY CALLED ME AND LEFT A MASSAGE IN MY PHONE THAT MY CAR IS READY . I WENT THERE AND PAID $ 480.00 FOR FIXING THE BREAKS AND DROVE BACK HOME. WHEN I LOOK AT THE INVOICE AT HOME I DIDN'T SEE ANY THING WRITTEN ABOUT " RECALL THING" SO I CALLED THEM BACK AND TALKED WITH JACY AGAIN AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY GAVE ME THE CAR WITHOUT FIXING THE "RECALL THING". I WAS BIT OF ANGRY AND I ASKED HER TO PICK MY CAR FROM HOME, FIX IT AND RETURN TO ME. SHE SAID THAT HER SENIOR MANAGER GONNA GIVE ME A CALL WITHIN FIFTEEN MIN. AND HANG UP THE PHONE. I WAITED FOR 1\2 HOUR BUT NO ONE CALLED ME SO I CALLED HER AGAIN AND SHE TRANSFER THE PHONE TO OTHER GUY ( 10 MIN. WIAT) WHO DIDN'T WANT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND TRANSFER TO ANOTHER GUY ( 20 MIN WAIT ). THE LAST PERSON WAS NICE AND ACCEPTED THE MISTAKE AND AGREED TO PICK UP MY CAR AT HOME NEXT SATURDAY AND FIX IT. HE CALLED ME AGAIN LAST FRIDAY TO VERIFY MY ADDRESS AND TOLD ME SOMEONE WILL BE THERE FROM TOYOTA NEXT MORNING FROM 9 TO 10 AM TO PICK UP MY CAR. I WAITED WHOLE DAY THAT DAY BUT NO ONE CAME OR ANY PHONE CALL. NOW, WHAT SHOULD I DO? GO BACK THERE EVEN AFTER BEING INSULTED TWICE OR DRIVE MY CAR AS IT IS? I FEEL LIKE TOYOTA IS USING THIS " RECALL THING" AS A GROCERY STORE SUNDAY COUPON, WHERE YOU GO FOR SHOPPING TO SAVE LITTLE MONEY BUT END UP SPENDING MORE. IN MY CASE I RETURNED EMPTY HANDED EVEN AFTER SPENDIING MONEY.

I'VE HAD MY ENGIN AIR FILTER & CABIN AIR FILTER EATEN BY RODENTS; ONE CAUSED MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY TO STALL SEVERAL TIMES.

I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE CAR COULD HAVE ACCELERATED WITH MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND ON THE BRAKE. HOWEVER, AFTER READING ABOUT THE RECENT FUROR REGARDING THE GAS PEDAL ON 2007 TOYOTAS, I BROUGHT MY CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS ADVISED THAT MY GAS PEDAL WAS MANUFACTURED IN JAPAN AND THUS NOT SUBJECT TO RECALL.

I EVEN COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA BUT NO USE, THEY MOVED IT BACK TO DEALER AND DEALER CUSTOMER RELATION LADY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING, EARLIER SERVICE MANAGER HAD GIVEN ME TOYOTA NUMBER TO CONTACT AND SEE IF THEY CAN DO ANYTHING BUT LOOKS LIKE HE KNEW THAT NOTHING WOULD BE DONE AND I WILL JUST WASTE MY TIME.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH AIR CONDITIONING PROBLEM. CONSUMER STATES THAT THERE IS A STRONG URINE SMELL AFTER THE USE OF THE AIR CONDITIONER. CONSUMER DOESN'T FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *KB THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THERE IS A WIND SOUND WHEN DRVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT SOUNDED AS IF THE WINDOWS WERE DOWN.

THE CAR ACCELERATED QUICKLY ON ITS OWN, WITH ENGINE RACING, AND COULD NOT BE STOPPED EASILY, RESULTING IN A COLLISION WITH A TREE. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RACE ON IT'S OWN, WITH NO ONE PRESSING THE THROTTLE, UNTIL THE IGNITION WAS SWITCHED OFF. THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY A LOOSE FLOOR MAT, THE FLOOR MAT WAS SECURED AND NOT ANYWHERE NEAR THE PEDAL. IN FEBRUARY I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA SAYING THAT THEY BELIEVE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I CALLED TOYOTA TO TALK TO THE PERSON WHO SENT THAT LETTER AND REPEATED THE FACTS AS STATED ABOVE AND SHE TOLD ME THAT I "MAY BE MISTAKEN." THE FACT THAT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RACE AFTER THE CRASH IS IMPORTANT, SINCE SOME MAY THINK THAT I WAS PUSHING THE THROTTLE HERSELF. ONCE I GOT OUT OF THE CAR SHE OBVIOUSLY COULDN'T BE PUSHING THE PETAL HERSELF. THE ENGINE DIDN'T STOP RACING UNTIL I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. THEN, WHEN THE TOW TRUCK CAME, THE DRIVER RE-STARTED THE CAMRY TO POSITION IT FOR TOWING. WHEN HE DID, THE ENGINE RAN NORMALLY. WHEN A CAR TAKES OFF BY ITSELF, IT HAS A PROBLEM. THEREFORE THIS CAR, AND MAYBE ALL 2007 CAMRYS, MAYBE ALL TOYOTAS, HAVE A PROBLEM. HOWEVER WE DROVE THIS CAR FOR MONTHS AND MANY MILES WITHOUT A SYMPTOM; IT APPARENTLY TAKES SOME KIND OF PARTICULAR COMBINATION OF CIRCUMSTANCES FOR THE PROBLEM TO COME OUT. NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THIS INCIDENT, BUT THIS BEHAVIOR COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD FIND OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED AND TRY TO FIX IT, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CONVINCE ME THAT I AM WRONG WHEN I TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED. *TR UPDATED

AFTER INSTALLING KRACO FLOOR MATS INTO OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, WE TOOK A ROAD TRIP. ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. I TRIED ADJUSTING THE CRUISE CONTROL WITH THE CRUISE LEVER, AND WHEN THAT DID NOT WORK, TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF. I CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE TO OVER 85 MPH (FROM ORIGINAL CRUISING AT APPROX 68 MPH). I TRIED BRAKING, BUT THE BRAKES PROVIDED LITTLE TO NO RESULT. MY TWO PASSENGERS TRIED TO HELP WITH SUGGESTIONS: I TRIED PUSHING THE BRAKE, ACCELERATOR, AND CLUTCH (5-SPEED CAR), AND NONE HELPED. I STARTED JAMMING MY FOOT INTO THE AREA AROUND THE ACCELERATOR, AND FINALLY THERE BEGAN TO BE SOME EFFECT. ONE PASSENGER SUGGESTED THE FLOOR MAT, AND SO I FINALLY DUG MY FEET INTO IT AND PULLED BACK, FINALLY MAKING THE NEEDED IMPACT OF HAVING CONTROL OF THE CAR AGAIN. WE HAVE USED LARGE BINDER CLIPS TO ATTEMPT TO KEEP THE FLOOR MATS FROM INTERFERING WITH THE ACCELERATOR; NOT SURE YET IF THIS IS AN ADEQUATE SOLUTION. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATES AND EXPERIENCES ACCELERATION FAILURE SINCE IT WAS A NEW VEHICLE.
