2007 Toyota Camry Equipment Problems

ABS AND WARNING SIGNS WERE ON DASH. 1ST TIME EVER HAPPENED. ON A BUSY INTERSECTION CAR WAS BARELY STOPPING. ONCE REALIZED CAR WAS NOT STOPPING GOT OFF BUSY INTERSECTION AND GOT TO SAFE AREA. BRAKES DID NOT WORK AT ALL.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MPH..THE CHECK VSC SYSTEM WARNING CAME ON. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO. I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT BECAUSE IT WENT OFF AFTER I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN...SO 3 WEEKS LATER IT COMES ON AGAIN AND GOES OFF. WHEN IT CANE ON THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK AS WELL, AND ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. YESTERDAY ON 3/25/2015 IT CAME ON AND HAS NOW STAYED ON. THE BRAKES ARE WORKING CORRECTLY, HOWEVER, I KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA IS ASSISTING WITH FIXING THIS ISSUE. M Y NEXT STEP IS TO CALL THEM. *TR

MY 2007 CAMRY SMELLS HORRIBLY LIKE MOLD AND MILDEW. THE MOLD IS IN THE A/C BUT I CAN'T GET SUNNYSIDE TOYOTA TO REPLACE THE A/C AND CLEAN THE VENTS. WHAT DO I DO? I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN MARCH 2006. I FINALLY FOUND A DOCTOR WHO COULD DIAGNOSE WHAT WAS WRONG. THE MOLD IN THE A/C OF MY TOYOTA HAS CAUSED MY LEG MUSCLES TO BE WEAKEN SO I HAVE ALOT OF PAIN WALKING AND A LARGE BUMP ON MY LEG. TOYOTA HAS BEEN NICE BUT WON'T CLEAN OUT MY A/C OR VENTS AND WON'T ADMIT THIS IS A VERY VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2007 CAMRY. I AM HIGH SENSITIVE TO MOLD AND IT HAS CAUSED ALOT OF SICK DAYS, DOCTORS APPTS, AND PAIN. I WOULD LIKE THEM TO REPLACE THE A/C AND I AM SURE THERE WILL FIND THE MOLD. *TR

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 WAS DRIVING A 2007 CAMRY IN SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA ON JANUARY 29, 2009. INVOLVED IN A SOLO ACCIDENT AND I SUFFERED A CONCUSSION SO I HAVE AMNESIA ABOUT THE ACTUAL ACCIDENT. POST-ACCIDENT PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE INVESTIGATOR FROM MERCURY INSURANCE COMPANY CONFIRMS IN TWO SEPARATE PHOTOS THAT CARPETED FLOOR MAT WAS WEDGED UP INTO THE BRAKE/ACCELERATOR AREA. I HAVE FILED A CIVIL LAWSUIT AGAINST TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC. IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY. TOYOTA HAS YET TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACCIDENT. FIRST CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE IS SCHEDULED FOR MAY OF THIS YEAR. *TR

ON 6-12-2009 APPROXIMATELY 5PM. I HAD AN INCIDENT WITH MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WE WERE ON VACATION, DRIVING TO SOUTHERN SHORES, NC. STOPPED AT: THE VIRGINIA DINER GOT IN THE CAMRY. TO START THE CAR THAT IS EQUIPPED WITH THE OPTION, SMART KEY, YOU MUST DEPRESS THE FOOT BRAKE AND PUSH THE START BUTTON TO START THE ENGINE. AGAIN, TO PLACE THE CAR IN GEAR, THE FOOT BRAKE MUST BE DEPRESSED. I PLACED THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RACE WITH THE BRAKE BEING PUSH AS HARD AS I COULD, THE CAR COULDN'T BE HELD. IT MOVED BACKWARD. I HIT A PARKED PICKUP TRUCK AND DROVE IT INTO A SUV PARKED NEXT TO IT. THE INCIDENT TOOK ONLY SECONDS. I EXCHANGED INFORMATION WITH THE OWNERS OF THE DAMAGED VEHICLES. SOMEONE CALLED THE SUSSEX CO. SHERIFF, WHO ARRIVED, CHECKED FOR INJURIES. THERE WERE NONE AND HE SAID, THAT THIS HAPPENING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY WITHOUT INJURIES, MEANS HE WOULD NOT SUBMIT A POLICE REPORT. MY CAMRY WAS RECEIVED THE MOST DAMAGE, ABOUT $5,000.00. IT WAS DRIVABLE AND THE TRUNK LID STAYED LATCHED AND WAS ABLE TO BE OPENED WITH THE DASH RELEASE. NATIONWIDE INSURANCE PAID ALL OF THE DAMAGES. MY DEDUCTIBLE WAS $500.00. I HAD NO IDEA HOW THIS HAPPENED AND ASSUMED IT WAS USER ERROR. WITH THE NEWS REPORTS AND RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. THE TOYOTA FLOOR MAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR WITH THE SAFETY CATCHES. I REMOVED THE MAT AS DIRECTED. I FEEL THAT THE ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY A SYSTEM ERROR. I TOOK MY '07 CAMRY TO MY DEALER, TOYOTA OF GREENSBURG AFTER MY EXPLANATION, THE SERVICE MANAGER, TOLD ME THAT I SHOULDN'T BE DRIVING THE CAR AND RENTED A LOANER CAR FOR ME. HE SAID, THAT A CORPORATE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WOULD EXAMINE MY AUTO. I'M WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE DEALER. *TW

SINCE THERE IS RECALL ON THE TOYOTA CAMRY I HAVE ONE. WHY HAVE I NOT RECEIVED A LETTER THIS COULD PUT ME AND MY CHILD IN DANGER OR KILL BOTH OF US. I THINK IT IS WRONG THAT I HAD TO HERE IT FROM THE TV INSTEAD OF FROM THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS. NOTHING HAS HAPPEN TO MY CAR YET AND HOPELY NOT. BUT HOW CAN I MAKE SURE IT WILL BE SAFE AND IF NOT WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO GIVE ME SOMETHING ELSE TO DRIVE IF THIS DOSE NOT FIX THE PROBLEM*CW

2007 RUNAWAY TOYOTA PROBLEM-DOT HAS PUT OUT A RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE INDICATING THAT TOYOTA'S REMEDY OF REMOVING THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR MAT DOES NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND THAT THERE IS AN UNINDENTIFIED SAFETY DEFICIENCY. SINCE THE PROBLEM IN ALL PROBABILITY RELATES TO A COMPUTER CHIP GOVERNING THE ACCELERATOR OR THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, PERMITTING MILLIONS OF TOYOTAS TO OPERATES WITH A HIDDEN SAFETY HAZARD IS INAPPROPRIATE. TOYOTA SHOULD BE REQUIRED IN A VERY SHORT FINITE TIME PERIOD TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM OR RECALL THE CARS AND REIMBURSE OWNERS. DEFECTIVE CARS THAT CAN CAUSE DEATHS SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO ROAM THE HIGHWAYS. *TR

FLOOR MAT INTERFERENCE WITH ACCELERATOR PEDAL. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT OF THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. EMITS A STRONG MUSTY MOLD SMELL. THE COMPANY IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING. DEALERSHIP PERFORMED A TEMPORARY FOAM TREATMENT THAT MIGHT LAST A YEAR AND SPRAYED A CHEMICAL INSIDE THE VENT SYSTEM. THE POSSIBILITY OF MOLD IN THE SYSTEM EXISTS AND COULD CAUSE SEVERE AGGRAVATION OF ALREADY EXISTING ALLERGY PROBLEMS. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. I THINK IT'S TIME TO HOLD TOYOTA ACCOUNTABLE. *TR
