ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS OF MY TOYOTA 2008 CAMRY COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON, THE WHOLE DASHBOARD READERS; THE SPEEDOMETER, RPM, ENGINE TEMPERATURE AND OTHER GAUGES JUMP AND FLICKER, THE LIGHT MARKERS FOR ABS AND PARKING GO OFF. WENT TO DEALER TO GET IT CHECKED OUT BUT THERE WERE NO CODES TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. IT KEEPS HAPPENING AT VARIOUS TIMES OF THE DAY (MORNING AND EVENING), WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED OR MOVING, AND ON ALL TYPES OF ROADS AND DRIVING CONDITIONS (CITY STREETS, HIGHWAY, AT A STOP LIGHT, AT A STOP SIGN, WHEN I AM TURNING). I HAVE NOTICED THAT TOYOTA HAS ALREADY ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE 2007 CAMRY HYBRID. GIVEN THE SHEER NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR THE REGULAR CAMRY 2007, IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS FOR THE 2007 CAMRY.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SUN VISORS FOR BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER BROKE. I CAN UNDERSTAND THE DRIVER SIDE TO COME OFF, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE TOO CAME OFF. I AM THE ONLY ONE DRIVING THE CAR. THIS HAS TO BE A SERIOUS QUALITY ISSUE. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED LAST YEAR BUT THE POOR QUALITY OF THE CAMRY VISORS CANNOT BE EXCUSED. ITS OK FOR ME TO SPEND MONEY TO GET IT REPAIRED, BUT I DO MIND BUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME I HAVE TO SPEND TO GET IT FIXED. THIS IS JUST VERY ANNOYING.

ENGINE
WHEN I TOOK MY 2008 CAMRY IN TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE THEY FOUND NO OIL IN THE CAR. THEY SAID I NEEDED TO TAKE AN "OIL CONSUMPTION TEST". THEY DID SOMETHING TO MY CAR AND I DROVE FOR ANOTHER 2000 MILES AND BROUGHT IT BACK IN. I WAS TOLD IT HAD FAILED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THAT I WOULD BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST FOR REPAIR WHICH IS COVERED BY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM TOYOTA. I WAS TOLD THE WAIT COULD BE AS LONG AS SIX MONTHS AND THAT IN THE MEANTIME IF MY CAR RUNS OUT OF OIL AND ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THE ENGINE, THE WARRANTY WOULD BE VOID. MY CAR MIGHT HAVE OIL IN THE MORNING AND THE BE COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL BY THE AFTERNOON. I FEEL I SHOULD BE GIVEN A LOAN CAR TO DRIVE WHILE I AM WAITING FOR THESE REPAIRS. I CONTACTED TOYOTA DIRECTLY IN CALIFORNIA AND THEY WOULD NOT APPROVE THIS REQUEST. THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR ARE HAVING TO BE MANUFACTURED AND THIS TAKES MONTHS. MY DEALER TOLD ME THERE ARE PEOPLE WAITING SINCE LAST YEAR FOR REPAIRS. I'M JUST ASKING FOR A CAR TO DRIVE WHILE I WAIT SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE MINE AND RISK VOIDING THE WARRANTY.

ONLY SOMETHING THE SOUND OF THE BUZZER AND THE LIGHTS TURN OFF, AND BRAKE PERFECT. BUT MUST OF THE TIME, PERMANENT NOISE AND LIGHTS ARE ON. TO USE THE CAR IS DANGEROUS AND NOISE NO GOOD FOR PASSENGERS. THE PROBLEM START WITH VEHICLE IN MOTION, IN THE CITY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN SLOWING DOWN ON INTERSECTION ON THE STOP SIGN WITH THE INTENTION TO COMPLETELY STOP, I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND REMOVED MY FOOT COMPLETELY FROM ACCELARATOR PEDAL. CAR ENGINE SUDDENLY REVS UP AND ENGINE RPM SHOOTS UP, I NEED TO PRESS BRAKE REALLY VERY HARD TO STOP THE CAR TO GO INTO THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION OR EVENTUALLY CAR WIILL ROLL INTO INTERSECTION AND I HAD TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION TO AVOID COLLISION WITH VEHICLES COMING ON CROSS INTERSECTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5-6 TIMES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HE RAN THE DIAGNOSTICS TEST BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN FREEHOLD HE SUGGESTED TO REMOVE THE UNSECURED FLOOR MAT, WHICH I DID BUT STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS ISSUE WAS EXPERIENCED YESTERDAY ALSO 2 TIMES.
