PURCHASED 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY 4 CYL. HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE CAR ACCELERATING SPEED. HAS HAPPENED OVER A DOZEN TIMES. IN OCTOBER WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET - CAR ACCELERATED AND I SWERVED TO MISS BOY ON BIKE (DAMAGE TO BUMPER) HIT CURB. ALSO, WHEN TRYING TO MERGE FROM STOP WILL HIT PEDAL - HESITATION CAR DOES NOT MOVE - HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT 3 TIMES. HAVE HAD CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP - THEY PRETEND THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR THEY HAD A MEETING FOR ALL NEW CAR OWNERS. FIVE COUPLES REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED IN DECEMBER FOR A CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM (HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH TOYTA - WHO ALSO DENY KNOWING OF ANY PROBLEMS - CONTACTED THEM BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT CAR - AFRAID TO DRIVE) - THE MANAGER SAID HE HAD HEARD OF NO SUCH COMPLAINTS. REMINDED HIM THAT MYSELF AND FIVE OTHER NEW CAR OWNERS HAD COMPLAINED TO HIM AT THE MEETING. TOYOTA IS GOING TO HAVE BIG PROBLEMS - MUST HAVE TOLD MANAGERS TO DENY ANY PROBLEMS!!!!! AS THEY THEMSELVES ARE DOING. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TOLD MY FAMILY THAT IF I AM IN A FATAL CAR ACCIDENT - I WANT THEM TO SUE TOYOTA. AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR. HAD CAR TO DEALERSHIP - SINCE THE TWO PROBLEMS I STATED ONLY HAPPEN SPORADICALLY - THEY SAID THEY TEST DROVE CAR AND SAW NO PROBLEMS. DON'T KNOW HOW FAR THEY TEST DROVE - MILEAGE AT PICKUP WAS THE EXACT SAME AS DROP OFF READING. CAR HAD SAME PROBLEMS ON THE WAY HOME - CAN YOU HELP ME AND ANY OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS. CAN'T AFFORD TO TRADE IN CAR. PLEASE HELP ME - WHAT CAN I DO. *TR

I OWN A 2007 CAMRY AND IT HAS A TERRIBLE HESITATION WITH THE ENGINE THAT STALLS ALOT ESPECIALLY PULLING ON INTERSTATES WITH FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. IT ALSO HAS THE SAME ISSUES WITH NORMAL DRIVING IN TOWN. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THAT I AM PAYING A GOOD BIT OF MONEY FOR. I FEEL I CAN'T SELL IT KNOWING IT HAS A PROBLEM AND THE TRADE IN VALUE IS TERRIBLE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL ALL THESE CARS AND FIX THE ISSUE OR GIVE THE CONSUMERS THERE MONEY BACK. *TR

ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 CAMRY SEDAN LE I AM FEELING AND HEARING VIBRATION AND NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE SEAT THIS HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED TO TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, THE DEALER AND MOTOR SALES TOLD ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL WITH THESE TYPES OF CARS. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE I HAVE RESEARCHED ON CONSUMER REPORTS AND FOUND ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I NEED THIS RESOLVED AND NEED TO KNOW IF IT THE TRANSMISSION SHOULDN'T THIS BE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY? I KNOW TOYOTA DOES NOT WANT TO HEAR THIS COMPLAINT AS IT WOULD INTERFERE IN THERE GREAT REPORT ON HOW THEY ARE A GREAT GAS SAVING CAR, BUT WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED HOPEFULLY NOT A FATALITY. *TR

SEVERE HESITATION IN THROTTLE AND TRANSMISSION OF THE 2007 CAMRY CAUSING NEAR T-BONE ACCIDENTS WHEN YOU GIVE IT GAS AND GO NOWHERE. ALSO WHEN TRAVELING, WHEN YOU GIVE IT GAS TO GET INTO ANOTHER LANE, YOU GO NOWHERE FOR A DELAYED PERIOD THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU LAUNCH FORWARD AFTER ITS TOO LATE ALMOST RUNNING INTO CARS IN FRONT OF YOU. APPEARS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS CONFUSED. MANY NEAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. CONTACTED TOYOTA WHO AGREED TO "FLASH" THE COMPUTER OR RESET IT. THIS RESET HELPED AT FIRST, AT TAKE OFF ONLY, HOWEVER NOW IS BACK TO WHAT IT WAS DOING BEFORE. CONTACTED TOYOTA AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS... *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY. BEGINNING ON AUGUST 14, 2007, THE VEHICLE'S GEARS WOULD SHIFT INTO REVERSE, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 15 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. A NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED WITHOUT THE OWNER'S CONSENT, KNOWLEDGE, AND NEED FOR A NEW BATTERY. THE COST FOR THE REPAIR WAS $4,432. IN DECEMBER OF 2007, THE VEHICLE WOULD OCCASIONALLY NOT SWITCH GEARS OR ALLOW THE CONTACT TO DRIVE ABOVE 10-15 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON DECEMBER 13, 2007 AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED ONCE MORE UNDER THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY FOR THE PREVIOUS TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE DUST BOOT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CONTACT HAS THE DUST BOOT AVAILABLE. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 147,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,083.

I'M WRITING TO DETAIL MY ISSUES WITH MY 07 TOYOTA CAMRY V6. I HAVE HAD IT ONE YEAR AND THE HESITATION UPON ACCELERATING IS STILL THERE EVEN AFTER A SUPPOSED 'FIX' BY MY SELLING DEALER. THE TRANNY SOMETIMES HESITATES AS MUCH AS 2-3 SECONDS B4 ACTUALLY MOVING FORWARD AS INTENDED. I ALSO HAVE EXTREME FRUSTRATION WITH THE INTERIOR PLASTICS. THE DASH RATTLES MORE THAN MY OLD 97 PONTIAC. THE OTHER MAJOR ISSUE IS THE SOFTNESS OF THE DRIVER SEAT FOAM. I AM DUE IN 2 DAYS FOR A RE-FOAMING OF THE SEAT. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL FIRM IT UP A BIT. ONE LAST POINT IS THE TIRES WORE OUT BY 13K ON THEM MAKING ME SPEND OVER $300.00 FOR NEW RUBBER. NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A $25,000 CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA CAMERY V6 AND IT HAS MAJOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T PROPERLY CHANGE GEARS. THE CAR DRIVES SLOWER THAN A CAR WITH A V4 ENGINE. IT SEEMS TO STALL FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE GEARS. I'VE TAKEN IT THE DEALER 4 TIMES. CURRENTLY THIS CAR ONLY HAS 12,000 MILES AND THE DEALER CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION ONCE. WHEN I CAME BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE CAR IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. I'VE GONE INTO ARBITRATION WITH TOYOTA AND THEY CLAIM THAT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR. *TR
