STARTED MY CAR, NOTICED OIL LAMP CAME ON THEN OFF. PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AND OIL LAMP LIGHT FLASHED AGAIN. OIL LIGHT CAME ON AT LEAST A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES. CAME TO TRAFFIC LIGHT, CAME TO A SOFT STOP TO OBSERVE TRAFFIC BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO TURN RIGHT. CAR THEN SHUT OFF AND ALL INDICATORS WERE ON, SUCH AS, BATTERY, ENGINE LIGHT, OIL LIGHT, AND AIR BAG. I PROCEEDED TO RESTART CAR. NO PROBLEM WITH RESTART, OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO FIND OUT WHY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND DUE TO FEAR! TOYOTA EMPLOYEE TOLD ME THEY WOULD DO A DIAGNOSTIC ON MY VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE TO FIND CAUSE OF SHUT DOWN. PLEASE NOTE, I DID AN OIL CHANGE OCT.15, 2013 AND NOV 18, 2013 CAR SHUT DOWN! AFTER ARRIVING AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY CAR CHECKED TO FIND OUT WHY IT SIMPLY SHUT DOWN, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS NO TIME TO DO A CHECK TO FIND OUT WHAT CAUSED MY CAR TO SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANAGER GAVE ME A VERY SIMPLE REASON AS TO WHY AND WHAT CAUSED IT TO SHUT DOWN. MANAGER TOLD ME I HAVE AN OIL LEAK INSIDE THE ENGINE OF MY CAR. MANAGER STATED I DIDN'T HAVE TO BUY A NEW ENGINE, BUT I NEEDED TO DO A 100-500 OIL DIP STICK CHECK. WHY WAS THE DIP STICK DOWN TO NOTHING IN THE FIRST PLACE? WHY WAS THERE NO OIL IN MY CAR? TECHNICIAN NEVER PUT OIL IN MY CAR. TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE TO ENGINE AS A RESULT OF THEIR MISHANDLING OF VEHICLE AND MAKING FALSE STATEMENTS REGARDING ME. TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR STRESS ON OF MY TOYOTA 2007 CAMRY ENGINE. MY LIFE AND THAT OF OTHERS AT RISK BECAUSE OF TOYOTA.. *TR

ON NOV. 23 2012 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 61 IN WINONA, MN "ALL OF A SUDDEN" MY CAR SPEED WAS DROPPING FROM 65 MPH TO 15 MPH IN A MATTER OF SECOND AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE FIGHT FOR MY LIFE TO GET OUT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE CAR STOP I CHECK THE ENGINE RUN FINE, BUT WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL NOTHING HAPPEN. I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE GEAR AND IT ONLY GO AS FAST 10 TO 15 MPH. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE THAT I SEE THIS THING, I WOULD LIKE TO "WARN" ALL CAMRY DRIVERS BECAREFUL YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE LUCK I HAVE. I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. MY CAMRY HAS ACCELERATED ON MANY OCCASIONS, HUNDREDS OF TIME, OFTEN TIMES, DAILY. IT HAS NEVER CAUSED AN OVERRIDE PROBLEM, BUT THE RPMS DO GO UP IMMENSELY. IT IS NOT THE GAS PEDAL, I CAN ASSURE YOU, BECAUSE I KEEP MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL TO SEE IF THAT IS THE PROBLEM. MY BROTHER IN LAW, A CAR MECHANIC GURU ASSURED ME IT WAS THE NEW MOTOR SYNCHRONIZATION, SO I NEVER REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO MY LOCAL DEALER. I HAD A 2005 CAMRY, THIS NEVER HAPPENED TO THAT VEHICLE. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN ACCIDENT, BUT ALMOST DAILY, IT DOES ACCELERATE. THESE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM, IT IS REAL, AS FAR AS TAKING OVER THEIR VEHICLE, COULD BE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY I HAD A ACCIDENT IN THE VEHICLE ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2009 IN JACKSON, TN. I TOLD THE OFFICERS AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY THAT I TRIED TO STOP BUT WAS UNABLE TO I ALSO TOLD THEM THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG IT WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I WENT INTO A DITCH. TWO DAYS LATER TOYOTA DID A RECALL ON THE FLOOR MATS. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE FLOOR MATS THIS YEAR IN FEBRUARY 2010. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAD THE WRONG NAME AS BEING THE OWNER AND SAID THEY WOULD GET ME THE RECALL INFORMATION MAILED TO MY HOME. THE COMPANY DID SEND ME THE INFORMATION I CALLED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HER AND THEY TOLD ME I COULD BRING MY VEHICLE IN. IT STATES ON THE PAPERS THAT TOYOTA WILL REPLACE THE PEDAL WITH A NEW ONE IF I WANTED TO WAIT FOR IT IN AND THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE OLDER ALL WEATHER FLOOR MATS AND CLEAN THE CARPET. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN FOR ME I NOW HAVE THE SAME DIRTY FLOOR THAT I HAD BEFORE I TOOK IT TO THEM AND NOW I'M RIDING IN A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE SINCE THEY PUT THE REINFORCEMENT BAR ON MY CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND I'M AFRAID EVEN MORE TO DRIVE THE CAR I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD CORPORATE THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM TO CHECK OUT THE CAR AND MY MANUAL SAYS THAT IF THIS LIGHT COMES ON THAT IT IS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT COULD BE UP TO 200 DIFFERENT THINGS AND THAT UNLESS I PAY FOR THIS THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO ASSIST ME I CAN WRITE A LETTER TO THE CLAIMS DEPARTMENT BUT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME FOR MY RENTAL OR FOR FIXING THE VEHICLE, ALSO THAT MY FLOOR MATS ARE NOW AFTERMARKET MATS AND THE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO THEM EITHER NOR MY FLOOR PLEASE DO SOMETHING THEY ARE NOT FIXING THESE VEHICLES AND ARE NOT STANDING BY THERE WORD I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY ANYMORE MONEY TO GET THIS VEHICLE FIX AND DETAILED AND I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. THE PEOPLE AT CORPORATE SAY THEY ARE STICKING BY THE DEALERSHIP AND I NEED TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED! *TR

CAR DOES NOT RESPOND IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. I FEAR THAT IT IS RELATED TO THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE PROBLEMS REPORTED IN TOYOTA CAMRYS. I HAVE A 2007 MODEL. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT, BUT I'VE HAD A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS IN THE PAST YEAR. *TR

I OWN 2-2007 CAMRY. 1. ALREADY WHEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL FOR ONE OF THE CARS. I STILL FEEL STICK PEDALS AND SOME ACCELERATION, NOT TOO MAYOR BUT I FEEL IT IN HIGHWAY AS WELL IN STOP SIGN. THE OTHER CAR (THIS ONE HAVE A BIG PROBLEM I FEEL MORE THE PROBLEM IN THIS ONE MORE THAN THE OTHER)WILL BE IN THE DEALER 3/17/2010 TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HOPE AND THIS WILL WORK CAUSE WE'RE AFRAID OF DRIVING THIS CARS. A).-GAS PEDALS AND BRAKES. *TR

ON FEB 10, 2010 MY 07 TOYOTA CAMRY ACCEL PEDAL STUCK ON ME, 5 DAYS AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE ON IT. IT REVVED FROM 2000-4000 RPMS, I HAD TO BRAKE HARD FOR IT TO STOP AND REGAIN CONTROL. TOOK IT INTO TOYOTA, THEY LOOKED AT IT, RETURNED THE CAR AND TOLD ME "NOTHING WAS WRONG." ON MARCH 4, 2010 IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME IT ACCELERATED FROM 20 MPH TO 40 MPH IN A SPLIT SECOND, AND I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AGAIN I HAD BRAKE HARD TO GAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. TOYOTA AGAIN LOOKED OVER MY CAR, AND AGAIN CAME UP WITH NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. SO THAT IS TWO TIMES AFTER THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED THAT MY HAS ACCELERATED. IT ALSO DID ACCELERATE BEFORE THE RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WHICH HAS A STICKY GAS PEDAL. IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHILE I WAS SLOWLY PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. MY CAR RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE TO UNDER CARRIAGE AND FRONT SPOILER AS DIRT AND DEBRIS BECAME DEEPLY EMBEDDED. *TR

TOYOTA CAMRY RECALL WAS "CORRECTED" LAST MONTH, AS TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ISSUE. THE ACCELERATION NOW SEEMS MORE ERRATIC THAN BEFORE. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WAS A PEDAL PROBLEM, RATHER AN ELECTRONIC ONE. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR ON THE OPEN ROAD BUT AM SCHEDULED TO DO SO SOON. I AM 72, IF I SHOULD HAVE A PROBLEM, I'M SURE THAT TOYOTA CORP. WOULD ATTRIBUTE IT TO MY AGE OR SOME OTHER EXCUSE. THE PEDAL IS NOT CONSISTENTLY RESPONSIVE ON ACCELERATION, SEEMS TO HAVE A DELAY AT TIMES, THEN SUDDENLY KICKS IN. IT IS INCONSISTENT ENOUGH THAT THE DEALER CAN TEST IT AND FIND NOTHING WRONG. I WOULD LIKE AN OUTSIDE EVALUATION BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS TO ME OR TO OTHER OWNERS IN THE SAME SITUATION. *TR

THE GAS GOT STUCK ON OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. WE INFORMED OUR DEALER WHEN WE WENT FOR THE SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE, AND THEY INSURED THAT EVERYTHING WAS OK. NOW, WITH THE NEW TOYOTA DEVELOPMENTS, WE WENT BACK TO A DEALERSHIP TO RECEIVE THE MODIFICATIONS ON MY GAS PEDAL. BUT THEY SAID THAT MY GAS PEDAL MODEL IS ONE THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS AND DOES NOT NEED ANY MODIFYING. THEY DID CLAIM TO HAVE SANDED DOWN THE PEDAL TO PREVENT IT FROM GETTING STUCK UNDER THE FLOOR MAT, AND THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY INSTALLED NEW SOFTWARE THAT WOULD OVERRIDE THE GAS PEDAL WHEN I SLAM ON THE BRAKES IF IT DID EVER GET STUCK AND BEGIN TO ACCELERATE FREELY. WHEN WE ASKED FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS SOFTWARE, NONE COULD BE PROVIDED. ALSO, WHEN WE SPOKE TO OUR ORIGINAL DEALER, THEY DENIED THAT WE EVER REPORTED THIS INCIDENT. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAD THE RECALL FIXES FOR THE GAS PEDAL AND MAT INTERFERENCE COMPLETED LAST WEEK. AS A RESULT OF THAT "REPAIR" THERE IS A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL, AND THE VEHICLE IDLES VERY FAST IN REVERSE AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT DISENGAGE PROPERLY. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK VSC CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON, WE CONTACTED THE TOYOTA ON FRIDAY AND SAID IT WAS NOT RELATED TO THE "REPAIR" AND THAT IT WOULD CLEAR BY ITSELF, IT HAS NOT. *TR

I LEASE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING UP A HILL. BECAUSE I WAS ON A HILL I GAVE THE CAR A LOT OF GAS. HOWEVER, THE GAS PEDAL SEEMED TO GO FURTHER THAN I INTENDED AND THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND HIT THE BREAKS, WHICH STOPPED THE CAR WITHOUT INCIDENT. I HAD TO TAP THE GAS PEDAL A FEW TIMES TO GET IT TO DISENGAGE. TOYOTA APPLIED THE GAS PEDAL RECALL 'FIX' A FEW DAYS LATER. HOWEVER, I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY HAVE NOT CORRECTLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE GAS PEDAL WENT DOWN FURTHER THAN I PRESSED IT, MEANING THERE MAY BE SOME ELECTRONIC OR OTHER PROBLEM RATHER THAN 'STICKING.' I KNOW YOU HAVE MANY SUCH COMPLAINTS, BUT I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO DETERMINE IF TOYOTA'S REMEDY IS ADEQUATE. THANK YOU. *TR

WE BOUGHT A 2007 CAMRY FROM GRESHAM TOYOTA IN JUNE 2006. WE IMMEDIATELY HAD THROTTLE PROBLEMS. PROBLEMS INCLUDED: 1. STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL AND HAVING THE ENGINE REV UP TO HIGH RPM'S BUT NOT GOING ANYWHERE. THIS CONDITION HAS HAPPENED ON 2-3 OCCASIONS PER WEEK. THIS CONDITION WOULD HAPPEN ACROSS A VAST ARRAY OF CONDITIONS. YOU WOULD START TO MERGE INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND IT SEEMED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DISENGAGE. NEARLY CAUSING MANY ACCIDENTS(NEAR MISSES).AT OTHER TIMES YOU WOULD PULL AWAY FROM STOP SIGN AND AS YOU ENTERED THE INTERSECTION THE ENGINE WOULD REV AT HIGH RPM'S AND THE CAR WOULD GO NO WHERE. LEAVING YOU SITTING IN THE INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC BEARING DOWN ON YOU.. UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING. NO RESPONSE FROM THE CAR! 2. OTHER TIMES YOU WOULD BE DRIVING ALONG AT 30-40-50 MPH AND THE CAR WOULD WILDLY ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL FOR NO REASON. AGAIN MANY HARROWING LIFE THREATENING EVENTS SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR. UPON REPORTING THESE SAFETY ISSUES TO OUR LOCAL GRESHAM TOYOTA THEY DENIED THEIR WAS A PROBLEM. AFTER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO THE ASSISTANT SERVICE DEPT MANAGER HE ADMITTED TOYOTA HAD A SOFTWARE PROBLEM WITH THEIR ELECTRONIC SYSTEM AND WERE WORKING ON FIXING IT. TO DATE TOYOTA HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX OUR CAR. IT IS SCARY TO EVEN DRIVE TO THE STORE. YOU ARE N EVER SURE WHEN THE NEXT LIFE THREATENING EVENT WILL RANDOMLY OCCUR. TOYOTA HAS PUT ALL CUSTOMERS IN HARMS WAY AND NEEDS TO BE PUNISHED SEVERELY FOR THEIR CARELESS DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE. CONTINUES TO THIS DAY! *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM LOCAL DEALER. VEHICLE HESITATES ON ACCELERATION MAKING IT SCARY TO PULL OUT INTO MOVING TRAFFIC. DEALER EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS NORMAL SINCE THE ACCELERATOR IS NOT A MECHANICAL LINKAGE BUT A "FLY BY WIRE" SET UP AND RAPID ACCELERATION CONFUSES THE COMPUTER. VEHICLE ALSO LOCKS ITS OWN DOORS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. *TR

HELLO, WHEN MY CAR IS FULL FUEL I CAN HEAR THE FUEL MOVING AND SPECIALLY WHEN I HIT BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

HELLO, WHEN MY CAR IS FULL FUEL I CAN HEAR THE FUEL MOVE AND CAUSE NOISE WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE. *TR

2007 CAMRY STARTED OUT GETTING 32-34 MILES PER GALLON. AFTER DEALERSHIP DID 10,000 MILE CHECK, CAR ONLY GETS 19-24 MPG. WHEN I BROUGHT CAR IN TO DEALERSHIP WITH THIS COMPLAINT, THEY SAID THAT 24 WAS GOOD MILEAGE FOR THE CAR. IT IS ONLY 4 CYLINDER. SHOULD GET BETTER MILEAGE THAN THAT. *TR

THROTTLE LAG WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC OR FROM STOP. DID NOT HAVE THIS ON MY 1999 SOLARA. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS A HESITATION AND TRANSMISSION NOISE PROBLEM DURING ACCELERATING AT STARTUP AND WHEN YOU RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR AND STEP ON IT AGAIN. THIS BECAME NOTICEABLE A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER WE DROVE IT HOME. I BROUGHT IT BACK FOR SERVICE SEVERAL DAYS AFTER. THE DEALER SAID EVERY THING CHECKED OUT. THEY DID NOT TEST DRIVE IT BECAUSE THEY SAID IT CHECKED OUT. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF TRYING DIFFERENT GASOLINES AND DIFFERENT OCTANES RATINGS FROM DIFFERENT COMPANIES I GAVE UP. THEN WE TOOK A TRIP FROM OUR HOME IN TEXAS TO A OUR HOME TOWN IN LOUISIANA. I HAD TO FILL UP IN MY HOMETOWN AND THAT'S WHEN I DISCOVERED THE POSSIBLE PROBLEM. THE GAS IN HOUSTON TEXAS HAS ETHANOL IN IT. THE GAS IN MY HOMETOWN DOES NOT. WHEN I FILLED UP IN MY HOME TOWN WITH REGULAR UNLEADED FROM EXXON, I NOTICED THAT THE HESITATION AND TRANSMISSION NOISE WAS BARELY NOTICEABLE AFTER THE FIRST TANK FULL. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO MY HOMETOWN IT BECAME QUITE CLEAR THAT IT IS THE GAS WITH ETHANOL THAT'S CAUSING THE HESITATION AND TRANSMISSION NOISE. THE CARS BEING BUILT NOW ARE SUPPOSE TO ALL RUN ON ETHANOL, BUT IT OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT, " IT CHECKS OUT ACCORDING TO SPEC." I WAS GOING UP AN ON RAMP ONTO THE FREEWAY AND WAS ACCELERATING WHEN I NOTICED A CAR CHANGE INTO THE RIGHT LANE. I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO SLOW FOR THE CAR TO GET PASS. I THEN PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN TO GET UP SPEED. WHEN I DID THAT, THE CAR DECELERATED ABOUT FIVE MILES PER HOUR AND THE CAR COMING UP BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN INTO ME. NOTICE: THE INCIDENT DATE IS EVERY DATE. I PUT THE INCIDENT DATE AS THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. THE "WHAT SOURCE REFERRED YOU ETC" IS INFORMATION I HAVE COME ACROSS OVER THE YEARS FROM READING DIFFERENT ARTICLES IN DIFFERENT MAGAZINES. PLEASE HELP ME GET TOYOTA TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I THING THE DEALERS IGNORE SENIORS, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT A FORCE IN THE BUYERS MARKET. THANKS YOU VERY MUCH JESSE CANTRELL *TR

MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY INTO FAST-MOVING TRAFFIC, THE CAR HESITATED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE IT DOWNSHIFTED AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE. ON-COMING CARS HAD TO BRAKE AND HONKED AT ME. THAT CAN BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE CAR ALSO HESITATES WHEN JUST SLOWING DOWN TO TURN A CORNER. IT TAKES 5 TO 10 SECONDS FOR THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. *TR

"HESITATION PROBLEM" DUE TO A POSSIBLE SOFTWARE GLITCH. DEALER HAS RECALIBRATED WHICH DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. FUEL ECONOMY NOT AS LISTED BY TOYOTA (33 HIGHWAY/24 CITY) WHERE I ONLY GET 26 HIGHWAY AND 14 CITY. *TR

WHEN STARTING OUT, IF IT IS NECESSARY TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY PRACTICALLY STALLS BEFORE FINALLY PICKING UP SPEED. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT WHEN IT DOES IT IS UNNERVING, TO SAY THE LEAST! IT IS QUITE DANGEROUS, AND I HAVE COME CLOSE TO BEING HIT SEVERAL TIMES. NOW I JUST MAKE SURE I HAVE AN EXCESS OF SPACE BEFORE I PULL OUT OF A SIDE STREET OR PARKING AREA.*JB

I PURCHASED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE IN SEPTEMBER 2006. FIVE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, I NOTICED A LOUD "THUD" FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR DURING NORMAL ACCELERATION. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS BETWEEN HALF TO FULL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR EVALUATION. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ASSESSED THE CAR AND STATED, "IT WAS OPERATING WITH IN THE DESIGN PARAMETERS OF THE CAR, AND IT WAS JUST THE GAS IN THE TANK." IN ADDITION, THEY STATED "WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT IS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE CAR." I THEN FILED FOR ARBITRATION AND THE ARBITRATOR RULED IT WAS A DEFECT AND MUST BE REPAIRED BY TOYOTA. I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER WHO STATED HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, BUT THAT A TOYOTA TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE WILL BE THERE TO DIRECT THE REPAIR OF THE DOCUMENTED PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE; THEREFORE, I AM REQUESTING IMMEDIATE ACTION. I FEEL THAT IF THE CAR CANNOT BE REPAIRED TO MY SATISFACTION WITH TOTAL ELIMINATION OF ABOVE PROBLEM, THAT IT WILL STILL BE A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THAT TOYOTA RE-PURCHASE VEHICLE. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE HAS DISTURBING NOISE. THUD COMING FROM THE GAS TANK WHEN TANK IS FULL. FOUR ATTEMPTS WITH THE DEALER FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. TOYOTA MANUFACTURING NOTIFIED 1/16/07.*JB

MY CAR MAKES A THUMPING NOISE WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL. IT OCCURS WHEN YOU TAKE OFF FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A THUMP COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. I FEAR THAT THIS MAY BE A DEFECT IN THE WAY THE GAS TANK IS SECURED AND THAT THE THUMP MAY INDICATE THAT THE GAS TANK MOVES DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF THE GAS. TOYOTA CLAIMS THAT THE THUMP IS A NORMAL SOUND AND IT COMES FROM THE GAS HITTING THE INSIDE OF THE GAS TANK AND THAT THIS IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS TO BE TRUE AND FEAR THAT THIS MAY BE A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. *JB

THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT MY 2007 CAMRY TOYOTA V-6. AFTER 1 MONTH OF OWNERSHIP I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT WHEN I REDUCE MY SPEED AND STARTED TO SPEED UP THERE IS A HESITATION IN THE CAR ACCELERATION BUT THE GAS WOULD STILL CONTINUE TO FLOW. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO BURN THE EXTRA GAS TO FAST AND THE CAR BURST FORWARD TO FAST. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ADJUST THIS GAS FLOW PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT TOYOTA WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I WOULD HAVE TO LEARN TO ADJUST TO THIS PROBLEM. NOTHING ELSE WAS DONE. I CALL TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CTR. AND MADE THE SAME REPORT. I WAS GIVEN A CLAM REFERENCE # 200610080197 AND TOLD TO HAVE A NICE DAY. I WAS NOT TOLD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHEN I PURCHASE THE CAR, NOW I FEEL STUCK. *NM

HESITATION ON ACCELERATION- AFTER EXITING THE INTERSTATE AND TURNING CORNER, I CONTINUED TO ROLL BUT THE 07 CAMRY LE 4 CYL DID NOT RESPOND. APPROXIMATELY, 50 YARDS LATER, THE CAR ACCELERATED. *NM
