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. . Read more...

46 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/23/2016

The abs and brake lights of my Toyota 2007 Camry come on and off intermittently. When the lights are on, the whole dashboard readers; the speedometer, rpm, engine temperature and other gauges jump and flicker, the light markers for transmission gear and parking go off. The ac unit also did not work. I went to dealer to get it checked out but there were no codes to diagnose the issue. I was told to come back again when it happens for longer than a day. It keeps happening at various times of the day (morning and evening), when the car is stopped or moving, and on all types of roads and driving conditions (city streets, highway, at a stop light, at a stop sign, when I am turning). I have noticed that Toyota has already issued a recall for the same issue for the 2007 Camry hybrid. Given the sheer number of complaints I have read about this issue for the regular Camry 2007, it seems ridiculous that Toyota has not issued a recall for this for the 2007 Camry.

4t1be46k07u678126 my 2007 Toyota Camry le four door automatic sedan has intermittent erratic problems with the instrument control panel: the abs and emergency brake lights come on and the tachometer, thermometer and other gauges bounce up and down the events last for a few seconds to ten minutes, episodes occur sporadically and the car continues to drive normally during the events. I called Toyota (800) 331-4331 and asked for a warranty extension to repair the problem, denied by Toyota. I was instructed to take it to a dealer to identify the problem. On July 1, 2015, central florida Toyota in orlando, florida tried to charge me $59. 00, I refused to pay and they eventually proceeded to determine the problem without charge. The repair estimate given to me says, "$2,217. 05 for abs actuator assy. , r&r. ” the mechanic said this is serious; the brakes can lock up while I am driving. There are numerous identical complaints on the internet but Toyota corporate said this problem is not subject to a recall or a reported problem. (just google, "2007 Toyota Camry abs and brake light on". Consumer complainants allege that the bosch abs ecu has a flaw in circuit board design. ) this is very expensive problem and so common as to indicate that it is a manufacturer's defect and should be repaired free by Toyota. I am the original owner.

56 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2015

The instrument panel and ac the panel while driving down the road will go out and act like the car is just in start mode. You can not tell anything while this happens. Not if your car is overheating not how fast you are going. Nothing your intrument panel should tell you while your driving. The ac started acting up at the same time. It comes in and out with cold air like the instrument panel. When googled to see how to fix this. . . I can acrossed many others having the same problem. It started a while back. I have special need children so money is tight or I would have fixed it by now. The car has been sitting and only moving when it has to be used. I use a gps for speed. I just live through the ac. I have been told the ac problem in eletric like the panel. The picture attached is what it shows while out 99% of the time.

58 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/18/2015

My car was burning more than 5 quarts in less than 3k miles but after long time finally Toyota has fixed the issue. But this was happening for me from 45k miles on my car around 2009 until now. Mean while since the engine was burning which caused my catalytic converter to blow off. They should replace the catalytic converter too because this is caused by the engine oil burning in the combustion camber. Few years back they fixed my power window on the driver side but last 12- 18 months I am experiencing an issue some times the window opens on the passenger side but most of the time passenger would try to open but it wont open. I believe its an electrical issue which may have happened after they fixed on the driver side. If any accident happens then the passenger wont be able to get out which is very dangerous its an safety issue.

59 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2015

The water temperature, rpm guage and speedometer randomly fluctuate, abs and brake lights stay on. A/c will randomly stop working.

60 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2015

My speedometer stopped working, abs brake light stays on, odometer meter dances, and air conditioning pops on and off, all occurred at the same time. It started happening when I replaced my rear breaks. I am trying to make an appointment with Toyota dealership. I see so many complains on electrical stuff. But it seems that Toyota refuses recall Toyota Camry 2007. And to fix it around $4,000.

61 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2015

The primary safety concerns regarding my complaint are a malfunctioning speedometer and a malfunctioning anti-lock braking system; however, there are others, which I will describe. While I was driving home, the instrument panel went completely crazy. Specifically, the speedometer went to zero (as I was driving 40mph) the tachometer started bouncing up and down between 0 and 2 or 3, the brake and abs light came on. Then, everything went back to normal before I could pull over. I soon realized additional problems like the temp gauge going limp and the air conditioner blowing hot air along with other things. All of this happened all together but on and off at random intervals. I did some research, which led me to the abs issue. According to others with the same problem the repair is $2k-$3k and many had stories of dealers making various costly repairs that didn¿t fix the problem. I work for minimum wage, this is my only car, and it is 110 degrees in my town. Driving without air conditioning here is a safety hazard. One person suggested unplugging the faulty abs module to regain air conditioning. When I did this the air conditioning did in fact start working along with the tachometer and temp gauge. The speedometer, odometer, and seat belt alarm still do not work. Furthermore, this is no longer intermittent but constant and the brake light, abs light, and check engine light all remain on. An abs malfunction could be disastrous in wet weather. The lack of a speedometer is a safety problem on city roads for obvious reasons and not to forget the seat belt alarm or the odometer, which no longer logs the mileage. My 2007 Camry had low miles for its age (<70k) when these problems first occurred; the car has been garaged and well maintained. I have read many other complaints from those with the very same problems and it seems like a faulty product is to blame.

62 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/14/2015

Speedometer, tachometer goes to zero or tachometer (rpms) needle bounces around. Abs and brake warning lights go on, temperature gauge goes to zero. Air conditioning stops blowing cold air. All happens intermittently while driving at various speeds.

63 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2015

Abs module failure due to manufacturing defect. Internal shorting in module cause cars computer can system to go down. Abs braking stops working, dashboard instruments lose all signals and go to zero. Speed/rpm/temp/braking lights come on abs. Total dashboard confusion. Climate control system stops working.

64 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2015

Abs and brake lights stay on and speed odometer stops and all start back up. Also the air condition start blowing out less air and once the lights goes off everything start back working normal. Called to Toyota and they said that its no recall, but this is crazy because its to many people having this issue.

65 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/03/2015

Dashboard panel gauges started to fluctuate. They bounce up and down. Abs and brake lights came on. Ac stopped working. I called to Toyota recall center and was directed to go to a Toyota dealer to have the car inspected in my own cost. . . . . . .

66 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2015

The car speedometer stopped working while I was driving. The needle went to zero, the tachometer fluctuates out of control up and down, the abs and brake lights come on, the lights that indicate what gear you are in turned off, the gas gauge appears to still work okay, but the mileage stops calculating although the digital display is still on just not counting mileage. I have no way to know how fast I am going or if my car will either not stop due to brake lights being on or just cut off since there seems to be some electrical malfunction. The air conditioning also stopped working. This happened the first time for about 10 minutes, then as quickly as it stopped, it started working again. It has now done this each day at multiple times during each trip for the past 3 days since the problem first started. Not knowing how fast you are going is a real safety issue and sounds like this issue has come up before with other Toyota owners and should be recalled.

67 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/18/2015

As I was driving and came to the stop my speedometer dropped down to zero, my tachometer keeps going up and down, the abs and brake signals light up, and my a/c seems to stop working. I researched this online and noticed that hundreds of consumers are experiencing this problem. Seems to be something to do with the abs modulator/sensor corroding. I contacted my local Toyota dealership in clovis and they said they had to start with a basic diagnosis of $129 and that this was not a recall issue. How can this not be a recall of there are hundreds of complaints!? I have a tomtom that can keep track of my speed so I'll just use this until a recall is made and this issue can be fixed free of charge.

68 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/10/2015

While driving down the road at around 45mph. All of a sudden. My abs and brake light indicators light up. My speedometer dropped down to 0. My gauges jumping around. My speed in actuality didn't go down to 0. And, my car didn't stall or cut off. But, if it had. I could have been ran over by a semi truck or another vehicle. Prior to this happening, my tire sensor light was on. I took to the dealership, and they said once the tire sensor was fixed, the other would go away. I had tire sensor fixed. The lights went off for a brief period. But, back on again at interval times. The car also seems to want to cut off when idling at red lights. When I googled the problems online. It seem Toyota cars of all makes and years are having the same exact problem. I am taking back to the dealership once again.

69 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/02/2015

I was driving and noticed that the emergency brake and abs lights were on. The speedometer and tachometer were at zero and the water temp meter was bouncing up and down. I took the car to a dealership and they replaced one of the computer parts that controls the dash, they had to have the odometer readings set prior to shipment. The repair cost around $700, but did not fix the problem. I did a search on-line and other people are having the same problem with their camarys. Some were claiming that the issue is with the abs module. I unplugged the electrical lead to the abs module and plugged it back in and the issue was corrected for several hours, but ultimately came back. I have been driving the car like this for while and it issue with the dash is intermittent. I also noticed that the thermometer comes and goes, the indicator of which gear I am in comes on and goes off and the odometer does not advance when the dash is malfunctioning. There does not appear to be a pattern of when the problem starts or stops it appears to be random, it switches from working to not several times an hour.

70 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/09/2015

Dashboard peeling and sticking. . . Airbags on passenger side.
