ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. TAKES ABOUT 1-2 QUARTS EVERY 1000 MILES, OTHERWISE I RUN OUT OF OIL AND IT STARTS TO SMELL LIKE OIL WHEN I DRIVE OR WHEN CAR IS RUNNING. I WAS HEADED ON A TRIP TODAY WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO DRIVE A LITTLE FUNNY AND IT STARTED TO SMELL LIKE OIL AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CHECK IT AND I WAS LOW ON OIL. I PUT MORE OIL IN THE CAR AND HEADED BACK ON MY TRIP. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CRUISE KICKED OFF AND JOLTED THE CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING 70MPH. AFTER THAT IT WAS HARD TO GET MY CAR TO SHIFT ABOVE THE 3RD RPM. CAR STILL HAS LESS THAN 150,000 ON IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES. IT HAS NO OIL LEAKS. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS THAT GO OFF, HAS HAD REGULAR AND SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE WITH RECORDS.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE FAILURE. WAS DRIVING IN RESIDENTIAL STREET (LOW SPEED) WHEN BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. HAD TO USE PARKING BRAKE. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WITH BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR TANK/FILTER, WHICH TOYOTA OFFERED TO SERVICE UNTIL 30 JUNE 2017. UNFORTUNATELY, NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES UNTIL NOW--1 1/2 YEARS AFTER THE SERVICE OFFER HAD EXPIRED. SHOULD BE FULL RECALL. THE REASON WHY PROBLEM DID NOT SURFACE TILL NOW IS BECAUSE VEHICLE HAS LOW MILES (85,000 AFTER 12 YEARS).

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE BRAKES ON MY 07 TOYOTA CAMRY WENT "SOFT" AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT, WAITED, AND THE PROB. WENT AWAY. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE BRAKE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS TURNED ON, AND CHECK VSC SYSTEM DISPLAYED WHEN AT A RED LIGHT ON A RESIDENTIAL AREA (25MPH). I TOOK THE TO TOYOTA FOR THE SECOND TIME, AND THEY SAID IT WAS AN ABS ISSUE, ACTUATOR AND 4 BRAKE FLUIDS. THE COST TO REPAIR IT IS $1926.54. THE DEALER ADVISED ME TO CALL TOYOTA, WHICH I DID, BC THERE HAD BEEN PROBLEMS WITH BRAKING IN 07 AND 08 TOYOTA CAMRYS. TOYOTA WAS INCREDIBLY UNHELPFUL (THIS DESPITE MY OWNING TWO TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRIDS), EVEN THOUGH TOYOTA HAD ISSUED TWO EXTENDED WARRANTIES BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES WITH INTERMITTENT LOSS OF ASSISTED BRAKING REPORTED BY MANY CUSTOMERS, THE LAST ONE THROUGH JULY OF 2017. THE WOMAN I SPOKE TO INSISTED THAT SINCE THE CAR EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM "OUT OF WARRANTY" THERE IS NOTHING TOYOTA WAS WILLING TO DO.

AIR BAGS
THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD STARTED TO BECOME DISFIGURED AND A LITTLE UNEVEN - ENTIRE DASH BECAME VERY STICKY - LIKE IT HAD PARTIALLY MELTED. INITIALLY THOUGHT SOMEONE MAY HAVE SPILLED SOMETHING BUT NOTICED ENTIRE DASH WAS THE SAME FROM LEFT TO RIGHT HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS WAS A MORE COMMON PROBLEM AND MAY AFFECT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG UNDERSTAND TOYOTA DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL BUT DID FIX THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE DASH IF CUSTOMERS COMPLAINED CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD DO? I CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK AFTER 1-2 DAYS. THEY HAVE NEVER CALLED BACK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE CONTINUOUSLY HAD ISSUES WITH MY CARS IGNITION COILS AND VSC SYSTEM. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VSC SYSTEM LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND EVEN THOUGH I'VE SPENT THOUSANDS OF OD DOLLARS ON REPAIRS THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO POP UP EVEN WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND MULTIPLE REPAIRS. MY CAR MISFIRES AND TURNS OFF RANDOMLY THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BUT I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. THE CAR MISFIRES IN IDLE,WHILE DRIVING AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS AND IT WONT TURN ON SOMETIMES UNTIL I CONNECT JUMPER CABLES TO THE BATTERY. WHEN I CONNECT THE JUMPER CABLES I NEVER NEED AN EXTRA SOURCE OF POWER I SIMPLY CONNECT ONE END OF THE CABLES TO THE BATTERY AND A FEW SECONDS LATER IT ALL THE LIGHTS TURN ON AGAIN AND THE CAR RESTARTS THE WHOLE SYSTEM.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY BRAKES GOT SOFT AND MY CAR WOULDN'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BREAK SO THAT I COULD AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET AS WELL, BOTH WHILE I WAS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY.

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.

THE CONDENSATION ON MY HEADLIGHTS ARE HORRIBLE. I HAVE HAD THEM CLEANED NUMEROUS TIMES BUT IT KEEPS COMING BACK. ALSO, MY HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM ARE INEFFECTIVE AND I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING WHEN I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT. I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAM TO GET ANY KIND OF LIGHTING TO SEE WHERE I'M GOING AT NIGHT

MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A CERTIFIED CAMRY HYBRID FROM THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A BUZZING NOISE FROM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE, WE ASSUME THAT BECAUSE IT WAS A HYBRID THAT THAT WAS NORMAL. FOR 4 YEARS WE HAVE BROUGHT OUR CAMRY TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGES AND REGULAR SERVICE NEEDS. NEVER IN THE TIME HAD THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BUZZING SOUND. RECENTLY THE ABS AND VSC LIGHTS CAME ON SO WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, AFTER THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US BUT THE COST WOULD BE AROUND $2,100 I DECIDED TO SEE IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT MYSELF AND AFTER GOOGLING THE PART I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND SAW THAT THE NOISE WE HAVE BEEN HEARING FOR 4 YEARS IS COMING FROM THE SAME PART THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

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.

THE BRAKE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS TURNED ON, AND CHECK VSC SYSTEM DISPLAYED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED CORRECTLY. I WAS ON THE HWY GOING 65 MPH, IN MY 2007 CAMRY HYBRID WHEN THIS HAPPENED, TOTALLY LOST POWER, I WAS ABLE TO PILL OVER TO THE SIDE ROAD CALL FOR HELP. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS SITUATION FOR AN AUTOMOBILE. I FEEL LIKE THE PUBLIC IS BEING USED LIKE TEST DUMMIES BY TOYOTA.
