2007 Toyota Camry fuel/propulsion system problems

“Contacted TMC and was told a recall WAS performed on my car in 2010 for excessive acceleration. However, after further investigation, I learned there was not ONE but TWO different recalls for SIMILAR circumstances(acceleration) and was not informed whether BOTH were completed. I have had vehicle for approx. 5 years and have intermittently experienced the SAME problem. The last few weeks, it has happened more frequently and is becoming dangerous to drive! Also, I was told, since the ONE recall was completed, TMC declined to address the recent problem. Is there a possibility the FIRST recall was not COMPLETELY SUFFICIENT for both. I hope I can get an answer, as I have run out of options. I don't believe I should have to PAY for something that was supposedly FIXED even 10 years ago! I would, again appreciate any help. Thank you.”

“ALL OF A SUDDEN, ALL OF MY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON INCLUDING: BRAKE LIGHT, CHECK VCS SYSTEM, ABS, ALL OF THE EXCLAMATION LIGHTS, ETC.. IVE BEEN VERY DILIGENT ABOUT THE MAINTENACE ON Y VEHICLE AND HAD THE CODES READ AND RESET, BUT THEY KEEP COMING BACK ON. THE MAJOR ISSUES ARE THE ABS, CATALYTIC CONVERTER EROR CODE & THE ABS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO BREAK. IVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THE MECHANICS ARE SAYING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. ALSO, THE MIRROR VISOR ON DRIVER SIDE STOPPED WORKING & CONSTANTLY FALLS DOWN BLOCKING MY VIEW. ITS VERY DANGEROUS! PLEASE ADVISE TOYOTA OF THESE ISSUES. IVE ALREADY HAD THE HYBRID BATTERY COMPLETELY REPLACED AND BREAKS & ROUTERS, BUT THE CODES SHOWING ARE: •P0420 and •P1423, •C1391, - Ask about a recall •B1241, •B2784, •B2281, •C2124 THANK YOU SO MUCH!”

“On July 11, 2021, my husband and I were driving to a location not far from our house, on a state road with a 45 mph speed limit, when "Check Hybrid System" and "Check VSC System" warnings began alternately appearing and I lost acceleration. I turned on my hazard lights and was eventually able to pull off on the side of the road. I turned off all power then restarted, at which point the engine resumed working and we were able to continue driving, but the "Check Hybrid System" and engine light warnings remained on. We were able to reset the computer system by disconnecting the negative terminal of the auxiliary battery (which had been replaced a few months ago) for ten minutes, but I travel over 700 miles at least monthly to take care of my elderly blind father, and I don't want this to happen while I'm driving on I-95, when it's much more likely to result in a serious accident or fatality.”

“THE CAMRY STARTED REVVING UP TO 1500 RPM AT STOP LIGHTS OR WHEN PULLING INTO PARKING SPOTS ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS, LOCAL DEALER COULD NOT FIND ISSUE AFTER HAVING CAR FOR A MONTH. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR SAVED CODES, I JUST NOTICE THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE DROP WHILE ITS DOING IT SO ITS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. IT HAPPENS EVERY OTHER DAY USUALLY WHEN WARM OUT. I AM TOO SCARED TO HAVE MY WIFE DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANYMORE AND CANNOT JUSTIFY SELLING. HOPEFULLY TOYOTA WILL HELP FIGURE THIS OUT. DEALER REPLACED FUEL PUMP BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. ALSO HAS HARD STARTING ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK, WILL ALWAYS START ON THE THIRD TRY IF NOT IMMEDIATELY.”

“ONGOING ISSUE THE CAR BURNS OIL LIKE CRAZY. I HAVE TO ADD OIL BEFORE MY NEXT OIL CHANGE IS SCHEDULED (EVERY 3000 MILES). THERE IS BLACK SOOT BUILDUP IN THE GAS TANK DOOR AROUND THE CAP. IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS AWHILE, JUST NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING OF IT UNTIL I MET A FELLOW CAMRY OWNER WHO'S 2009 CAMRY WAS RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE BUT MINE DOES NOT HAVE THE RECALL. THE BLACK SOOT HAS BEEN THERE BASICALLY FROM THE VERY BEGINNING (2007), IT STARTED NOTICEABLY BURNING OIL AT ABOUT 130000 MILES, THE CAR IS NOW AT ABOUT 163000”

“TAKATA RECALL IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE RECALL WHEN I SAW RECALL FOR THE YEAR AND MODEL AND MAKE I WAS LIKE FINALLY BUT COME TO FIND OUT THE VIN NUMBER WASN'T RECALLED BUT NEEDS TO BE. GOES OFF AND HAVE TO PULL OVER TO TURN BACK ON”
