VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I was driving along and without warning the speedometer became erratic and then went to zero. As I was moving on a main road (limited access) I could not safely stop right away. Several other items on the instrument panel began to operate erratically. (These other items would not be considered safety items) Before reaching an exit or other safe place the speedometer began to operate again. I got off on a general main street and all seemed OK In a few minutes the problem returned and the speedometer went to zero again after becoming erratic first. I CAN NOT TRUST THE SPEED READING On a regular road or any road I may be driving to fast for some limiting condition or posting and not realize it. i AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS. This has happened several times and then goes away but I can not trust the reading

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
The contact had a 2007 Toyota Camry loaner vehicle from the dealer. The contact stated that after the vehicle was stopped at a red light, the contact drove the vehicle at an undisclosed speed when the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration. The brakes seized and failed to stop the vehicle immediately while the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle drove through an intersection and crashed into another vehicle coming from the opposite direction. The air bags were deployed. The vehicle then crashed into two parked vehicles at another dealer, Appleton Motorcars Sales & Service (1221 W Wisconsin Ave, Appleton, WI 54914), and came to a complete stop. Appleton Motorcars Sales & Service contacted the police, and a police report was filed. The fire department arrived on the scene and helped the contact exit the vehicle. The contact was unaware if a fire department report had been filed. The contact sustained contusions on her chest, right leg, and right hand, as well as severe headaches. The contact later received medical attention. The contact's passenger sustained chest pain and was transported by ambulance to the hospital. The vehicle was towed to an unknown location. The dealer was made aware of the failure and provided the contact with their insurance information. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

SERVICE BRAKES
I was driving on a residential street and my brake pedal got stiff and then got soft and I couldn't stop. I pushed the pedal hard and almost hit the car in front of me and then I felt a hard clack and it felt like I was hit or like I hit something. A loud high pitched beep continuously sounded until I turned off the car. All of my dashboard lights came on. And a continuous winding sound is coming from the abs pump.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I recently purchased a used car for my son who is a new driver. He complained to me that there is a bad glare coming from the dashboard that impairs his visibility of the road in front of him. I took the attached picture of the situation and clearly the glare significantly impacts visibility as I can barely distinguish the car just ahead of us. In researching the issue online, I found there was an opportunity for the previous owner to have the dashboard replaced but they did not or were not aware of it and now that timeframe is over. Considering the potential safety issue here, why isn't this a recall item? Is there an opportunity to extend or re-open the replacement window or other action by your agency to address this issue before a serious or even deadly accident were to occur?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
ABS Brake Actuator failed, this malfunction came out of nowhere, making me unable to stop my car and putting my life at risk. I have not seen any official recall on this from Toyota, but I’ve seen many people have this same specific issues on Toyota forums. The ABS, brake, and slip light came on all at once while my car made a continuous beeping sound. This all happened as my brakes went out.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The dashboard on the car has melted and caused reflection on the windshield impacting the visibility. I was unable to see the road due to the reflection caused by the melting and sticky dashboard on the windshield. My safety is at risk while driving due to the reflection and glare on the windshield. The smell from melting dashboard is also a concern for myself and family including the infant. The car is available for inspection and the concern can be reproduced.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
Had the vehicle progressively speed up at a high rate of speed was not due to the floor mats as that had been fixed along time ago on a recall before . I had to throw the car in neutral and then push the brake and power button for the vehicle to slow down safely ( happened twice ) . Both times not back to back on occasions months in between . Then one day had issues with the brakes and the vehicle not wanting to stop had the issue looked at by certified mechanic said my physical brakes on all sides front and back were visible sound and nothing to be causing the issue I was having . Just the other day started the vehicle as normal it warmed up went thru my day and then my radio still visible but sayin INSERT MAPS DVD ( that’s the only thing it would say or do ) then the vehicle after turning it off says CHECK VSC SYSTEM ( had certified mechanic ) come to home to inspect vehicle for issues ( car no longer showed this on dash) started as normal then next day while driving no brakes red triangle of death came up said CHECK VSC again and brakes failed and I nearly rear ended someone thank god avoided the accident car then shut off ( car restarted then triangle once more immediately shut off ) car starts high idle brakes hard to push on Mechanic says it’s a faulty issue with harness or abs pump and ECM components which may be causing the battery failure I’ve had multiple times and that the vehicle isn’t safe to drive due to this issue .

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.

ENGINE
My car burns oil excessively causing an increased risk for the engine to overheat and stall. This defect increases the risk of a crash and could lead to a fire. With research and by contacting a local Toyota dealership, I learned that this is a known defect of the 2AZFE engine. Specifically, the piston rings and the pistons are defective and known to cause excessive motor oil burning. Although Toyota has offered an extended warranty for this issue, I was informed by the local dealership that the extended warranty is no longer valid for my car because too much time has elapsed. I was never contacted to inform me of these defective engine components or that my car was given an extended warranty. The Toyota dealership states that they will only confirm this defect if we pay their mechanics for the inspection. Excessive oil consumption has been verified by our non-dealership mechanic. My car is available for further inspection.
