2007 Toyota Camry Fuel 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

MY TOYOTA 2007 CAMRY IS LEAKING EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL, THERE WAS A RECALL , BUT I DID NOT GET NOTIFICATION OF THIS PROBLEM ,UNTIL I WAS ONLINE SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS TO FIND OUT WHY MY CAR, WAS REQUIRING SO MUCH OIL, I SAW A ARTICLE WHICH STATED THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT, I NOTIFIED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS, THEY DENIED MY CLAIM. I EVEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR MAR JACOBS IN DURHAM N.C. MAR JACOBS STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO EXCEPT TRY TO GE ME TO BUY A NEW CAR, NO THANKS , I JUST WANT MY CAR FIXED, BECAUSE THIS AFFECTS MY ENGINE AND IF WANT TO SALE MY CAR THE VALUE GOES DOWN, BECAUSE OF THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I AM CONSTANTLY BUYING OIL FOR MY CAR EVERY WEEK , WHICH ADDS UP IN PRICE. I WOULD LIKE OR TOYOTA HONOR THE RECALL , ITS NOT MY FAULT THAT THIS HAPPENED TO MY CAR.

TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE 4 THE UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION OF THESE VEHICLES. MAKE THEM TEST IT UNDER 32 DEGREES AND THE RPMS WILL ALMOST ALWAYS INCREASE AND DECREASE ABRUPTLY THOUGH GIVING GAS AT A STEADY PACE. IT'S HAPPENED EVERY YEAR EVERY WINTER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. THE PEDAL FIX/RECALL WAS A SLAP IN THE FACE TO THOSE OF US WHO SUSPECT IT IS AN ENGINE OR ELECTRICAL ISSUE. IT MUST BE TESTED IN COLD COLD WEATHER AND UPON THE CAR JUST STARTING TO RUN. IT DOES SEEM TO SUBSIDE AS THE ENGINE WARMS BUT ON THE NEXT COLD DAY THE CAR TRIES TO ACCELERATE ITSELF AGAIN

RECENTLY THE "ABS" AND "BRAKE" LIGHT CAME UP; NOW THESE LIGHT COME UP AND STAY ON FOR SOME TIME- SIMULTANEOUSLY; THE NEEDLES OF THE MPH, RPM, H/C, AND GAS GAUGE DROPS- THE PRM NEEDLES FLICKER UP AND DOWN. ALSO, THE TEMPERATURE MARKER DOESN'T WORK. THE MPH HITS DOWN TO '0' WHEN I AM ON THE ROAD AT NORMAL SPEED. BUT I DON'T KNOW MY SPEED. MY AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I ALSO NOTICE THAT IT DOESN'T TRACK THE "TRIP' MILES WHEN IT IS OUT OF CONTROL (ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T NOTICED IF IT FAILS TO TRACK THE MILEAGE ON THE ODOMETER. THEN THIS 'PROBLEM' STOPS AND THE CAR GOES BACK TO "NORMAL." A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM CAN LAST FOR 5 MINUTES TO 20 MINUTES. I CALLED TOYOTA SERVICE'S 800 NUMBER AFTER SEARCHING THE WEB AND READING SIMILAR PROBLEMS BEING DOCUMENTED. HERE ARE JUST A FEW: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/TOYOTA/CAMRY/2007/ELECTRICAL/ELECTRICAL_SYSTEM.SHTML; HTTP://WWW.JUSTANSWER.COM/TOYOTA/5O8XA-TOYOTA-CAMRY-OPERATING-2007-CAMRY-OCCASIONALLY.HTML. ONE PERSON POSTED 'I CALLED THE TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE IN 2012', YET WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA CLAIMED NO KNOWLEDGE. THE PERSON I SPOKE TO EVEN SAID THEY HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A CALL ABOUT THIS BEFORE. SOME OF THE POSTS ONLINE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE STATE THE EXACT THING TOYOTA TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. I TRIED TO DEFROST MY WINDOWS AND HAD AN ISSUE WITH THAT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS ON THE "ABS" "BRAKE" AND THE CAR WAS ACTING UP. MY CAR TESTED POSITIVE FOR OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AND I AM WAITING TO GET THAT REPLACED. NOW THIS STARTED HAPPENING. THIS "NEW" PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED BY TOYOTA.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE AND FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR NOT STARTING IF IT IS ON UNLEVEL GROUND. I ASSUMED IT WAS SOMETHING IN THE GAS I HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED BUT THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE CASE. IF MY CAR IS PARKED ON UNLEVEL GROUND, I NOW HAVE TO PLACE THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH THE CAR TO A LEVEL GROUND IN ORDER FOR IT TO START. I RECENTLY HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT HAD TO BE A SENSOR IN THE FUEL PUMP CAUSING MY CAR TO RESPOND IN ONE OF TWO WAYS: 1) THERE WAS NO GAS IN THE TANK OR 2) THE ANTITHEFT SENSOR WAS ON AND THE CAR DOESN'T START IF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STOLEN. I HAD A FULL TANK AT THE TIME SO OPTION 1 WAS DEFINITELY NOT THE CASE. THIS ISSUE IS CONTINUOUS, IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS ISSUE WHERE YOUR CAR WON'T START IF YOU ARE ON UNLEVEL GROUND??? ...UPDATED08/20/15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED.

- 2007 CAMRY HAS BEEN CONSUMING UNREAL AMOUNT OF ENGINE OIL. - I TOOK IT TO THE DELEARSHIP; AND THEY MENTIONED REPLACEMENT OF PISTONS WILL BE COVERED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY BUT IF THE ENGINE IS DAMAGED THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. AT THIS POINT, I AM NOT EVEN SURE THE PISTON IS NOT WORKING AS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO. - THE CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND THE DEFECT ON ENGINE WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION ONLY A MONTH AGO IN 2015. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE CAMRY WHEN I REACHED A COMPLETE STOP MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, DIDN'T REALLY NOTICE ANY CHANGE, TWO DAYS LATER I NOTICE GAS CONSUMPTION HAS INCREASED. I TOOK THE CAMRY INTO DEALER, DEALER DIAGNOSED THE CHECK ENGINE TO BE A FAULTY O2 SENSOR. REPLACED O2 SENSOR AND DROVE OFF TO PICK UP MY KIDS FROM SCHOOL, AS WE ARE DRIVING HOME, I CAME TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I STOPPED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON IDLE WAS DISRUPTED BRIEFLY. I PROCEEDED AND WHEN TRYING TO STOP CAR THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD BECOME VERY TIGHT TO WERE I HAD TO STOMP ON BRAKES WITH ALL MY MIGHT TO GET CAR TO STOP. DROP KIDS OFF AT HOME WAITED 15 MINUTES AND STARTED VEHICLE, ABS LIGHT WAS OFF BUT CHECK ENGINE REMAINED ON, BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALMOST BACK TO NORMAL. I DROVE CAR TO DEALER AGAIN, THE DEALER SAID IT IS A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH IS ALLOWING TOO MUCH AIR INTO SYSTEM WHICH IN RETURN SIGNALS FOR MORE FUEL TO BE PUMPED TO COMPENSATE VACUUM LEAK. BRAKE BOOSTER NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND VERY COSTLY 1,363.16 PARTS, LABOR AND TAXES, NOT COUNTING THE 4 DAY RENTAL. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, IF IT WERE MY WIFE DRIVING THE CAMRY WITH MY KIDS SHE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY WARNING. TOYOTA NEEDS TO MAKE THIS A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS. I LOOKED AT TOYOTA FORUMS AND IT SEEMS I'M NOT ALONE, BRAKE BOOSTER FOR SEVERAL OTHER TOYOTA MODELS HAVE GONE BAD, AFTER 100,000 MILES SOME AT 70,000. 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SEEMS LIKE A HORRIBLE GUINEA PIG CAR. *TR

NOTICED MY CAR HAD A KNOCKING SOUND TOOK IT IN TO MY MECHANIC TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I'M VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT MY CAR. THE MECHANIC CALLED TO INFORM ME THE OIL LEVELS WERE EXTREMELY LOW, WHILE HE NOTICED IT WAS CLOSE TO NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE BUT THE LEVELS SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THAT LOW. HIS OBSERVATION WAS MY CAR IS BURNING OIL TOO FAST. HE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO QUESTION IF THERE WAS AN RECALL OF SUCH AND THE ASSOCIATE AT THE DEALERSHIP MENTIONED A SILENT RECALL OF THIS MATTER. HE THEN INFORMED ME TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, IN WHICH WE DID AND WAS INFORMED DUE TO THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED I COULD PAY $5000+ TO REBUILD MY MOTOR OR GET MY OIL CHANGED EVER 3000 MILES INSTEAD OF 5000 MILES. THIS I THOUGHT WAS A PROBLEM CAUSE WHEN I PURCHASED MY NEW 2007 CAMRYI WAS INFORMED TO CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 5000 MILES. IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT CAUSE I'M FAITHFUL ABOUT SERVICING MY CAR AND ONLY TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGES AND THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATED TO ME A WHILE AGO. I'M HOPING IT DOESN'T CAUSE ANY MOTOR PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE. *TR

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?
