general problems of the 2007 Toyota Camry - part 1

While driving on the freeway, the speedometer and all of the gauges stalled out while the car was still running. The car gauges came back on after a few minutes, presently the gauges are taking a longer time to come back on, in addition while the gauges are off the air conditioner goes off as well, when all the gauges come back on the tire pressure light comes on. We are afraid to take the care out of town because when the gauges go off the car is hard to steer. This continues to happen every time car is driven.

Vsc, abs, air lights are on. Makes a peak sound when I start my car. It stays for a long time and goes away. During this time break does not work as normal. Feels hard to press break and unable to stop the car. Yesterday when I'm driving suddenly sound came on and I was unable to stop the car as I normally can. When I try to press the break. Break does not apply.

The abs sensor/module has gone out again. I spent several thousands in repairs and diagnostics years ago for the same issue. Now it has gone crazy again. The dash has been replaced due to being sticky. The car itself burns oil, we are constantly checking and adding to it. It seems several have had these issues and Toyota should be fixing them.

Abs actuator failed for no apparent reason. Many warning lights came on suddenly while normal driving. The lights included slippage, abs, check vsc, and emergency break. The break action response was diminished. This is a known problem to Toyota, and they extended the warranty, but ours is beyond the new extension window. Cost to repair is $1,600.

Driving on street approaching an intersection where I was turning left and had a green light when the abs/esc lights on the dash turned on and brakes stopped working. This caused me to roll through the intersection and almost cause an accident. Had to stop by rolling into curb. Found the brakes do work somewhat now but are dangerously weak.

Moving at 70 mph, battery light started to flicker. Then 2 loud bangs, like rocks hitting windshield, speedometer wildly fluctuating, check vsc sys light on instrument cluster briefly lit. No loss of power or control. Battery lite now off. Continued on 3 minutes later repeat, bam bam, check vsc sys, now with red triangle warning, abs light, security, passenger air bag & skid lines flashed on. No problems on return trip, although I was traveling at around 50 mph. I should add that I had problem with battery in Jan 2019. Replaced battery and positive cable. Battery light kept coming on, replaced alternator. Problem with intermittent battery light reoccurred. Mechanic cleaned off positive pole, and problem was solved until today.

The brake lights systems and abs lights comes out as I start the car and all gauges stop working, the ac don't work when this happens. I can't tell how fast im going because the speedometer gauge failed to provide the correct reading, the abs control module and emergency warning indicator illuminates on the screen. This happens while I am driving, it does ramdonly and now is more frecuently.

Abs control module needs replacing. Brake and abs light come on,no a/c and speedometer goes to 0. Brake lights don't work during episodes which could cause you to get rear ended. These episodes occur while idling and driving.

Just purchase a 2007 Toyota Camry le from sterling mccall Toyota a few months ago and now just finding out that the car has a oil consumption issue with no indication that the engine had ever had and problems now it's a the engine has possibly blown out or locked because of this issue it will not start. I paid for this vehicle in full in cash from the dealer I'm trying to find out how to get my money back for the vehicle sale price and the other minor repairs that I made to this vehicle. The vehicle could have killed me and my children it just turned off while we were driving home during the day, almost caused a car accident.

My 2007 Toyota Camry lr abs system is not working, I read numerous complaints (over 197 complaints with this problem on 2007 Camry le's) to your site with same problem: warning lights , speedometer needle at "0", etc. Cost to replace abs system over $2,500. Someone said the abs was only to prevent skids and even though speedometer is not showing speed, that no other problem such as sudden stop, or brake failure, etc would happen, complaints on your site show that other problems, can result, what can we do? my car mileage is 79,899. This is a continuing problem started approx. August 2017 - -.

I have a 2007 Camry with 125,000 miles. It is impeccably cared for, it has new front and back brakes, new rotors, new battery and new tires. The problem started several weeks ago in April 2017. While driving modest speeds on regular roads, the break and abs warming lights come on, and the speedometer stops working and goes to 0, even though the car is moving. This keeps happening intermittently with no relation to speed or road conditions. Also, I live in sunny California, and never in my life have had to use the abs system for any breaking. I was told by my mechanic this is an abs brake control module problem, which will cost about $2500 to fix. This is outrageous!!! I am retired and cannot afford this kind of expense!!! I have been driving Toyotas for over 40 years and I never had this problem or even heard of this problem before. My prior Camry lasted for 14 years and 200,000 miles and never had this problem. Toyota truly needs to fix the problem or at least tell all future Camry buyers to be prepared for a $2500 - $5000 expense in the future. If I had known about this when I bought the car I would never have bought it!!.

The dashboard is melting and the car burns oil fast.

I had to beak really hard on my car when I got cut off and now I have a "check vsc system as well as traction control off light constantly on since the hard break.

My abs light and brake light simultaneously came on when I was at a stoplight one day at the same time my air conditioner only blows out hot air and I was told that this is a safety issue because if you step on your brakes too fast or anything like that the car can skid or lose traction or ever the case may be to me this is a manufactured default and should be recalled for warranty to be replaced since most of these issues are causing people 2500 plus which is way more than the value of the car on top of the burden it cost to get it fixed it's very dangerous and there are plenty of other people that I have complained online and spoke with that their abs modules have also went out on this year car as well as melting dashboard defaulted power windows oil consumption which I need to go check mine to see if that is also happening on this model 07 very unethical very dangerous!!! I mean come on if it's a warranty issue it would be something that we would have to maintain on a regular basis and order for it not to be broken but obviously this is not something that you can maintenance like your oil or your tires this needs to be recalled this is my formal complaint thank you.

Abs actuator problem: my 2007 Toyota Camry has a failed abs actuator. This will cost me $2,000 to replace. The abs and brake warning lights lit up on the dashboard and the tachometer started fluctuating wildly, so I had it towed to the dealer. I have had the car for 9. 5 years and it has about 78,000 miles on it, so I believe the original part should have lasted longer. I am aware of the abs actuator problems on the 2007-08 Camry hybrid models, so I think you should investigate the abs actuators on the regular Camry models too.

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry. It has about 170,000 miles. I get regular oil changes and check up on the car. While driving my vehicle vsc lights, brakes, and battery light comes on and my power steering goes out. My car engine turns off and I am unable to recrank it. All of my systems are on such as the ac, radio, and lights, however the vehicle is unable to start. This has happened to be twice in 1 week. The first time I got it towed to the dealership and they stated it was just the battery. So after paying over $150 for a diagnostic and oil change, I drove my car away only to get about 5 miles down the road and it happened again. This time, I almost crashed into a car while I was trying to pull my car safely off the road. This led to a second tow truck bill and an irritable call to the dealer. The car is there now and they have no idea what is going on. They are trying to state the car may have water damage to the computer system which seems to be total bs. My car has not been in any type of flood zones. Luckily for the inconvenience they provided me with a rental car because I was left stranded after they assured me that my car was safe to drive. That is the only upside of this, however I am concerned they will come back to me with an astronomical bill for a computer error. Has anyone else had this issue to happen? this is very scary to drive a car and it just cuts off on you. Bad move Toyota, bad move!.

While running (sitting still or moving) the dashboard gauges will go crazy. The speedometer will go to 0, the brake and abs lights will come on and the rpm may bounce around. The temp gauge may also drop to c. Otherwise, the car appears fine. This can happen at any time (engine cold or warm, driving in city or highway). The length of the episodes vary from a second (or less) to 20+ minutes. From a little research, I can tell other Toyota Camry (around the same year) owners have also encountered this issue.

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...

The board of alante melts with the heat and does not let me see why he was much billo and I had an accident due to that problem nesecito help.

This car is burning through oil in between changes. The abs system has also failed. No major problems, just annoying.

The water temperature, rpm gauge and speedometer randomly fluctuate, abs and brake lights stay on. It occurred when vehicle moving or stop. The mechanics told me the abs module in engine compartment failed however the braking is still functional. The abs function might stop working.

Check vsc system light come up!.

My problem is that I cannot back-up using the gear shifter as it's supposed to be used. The mechanic removed the little panel in the front of the gear handle, allowing me to press it manually. I was told it could not be fixed (by him) unless it was happening then. Which it was not doing at the time I took it to him. You see, it happens intermittently. Sometimes the gear shifter will kick in after I press the brake, and sometimes it will not kick in and that's when I have to push the switch mannually. I am concerned that it will never be able to be fixed because it is an intermittent occurrence.

This morning I was taking my kids to school driving in a straight line under 30 mph on a neighborhood paved road. As I was approaching the 4 way stop, my dash read "check vcs system" plus all these light came on my dashboard such as a brake light, a circle with an exclamation, a few other lights that im not sure what they are and my brakes were extremely difficult to stop . I ended up rolling through the 4 way stop and was able to stop on the side of the road in a ditch. I was able to drive back to my house going very slowly and with an extremely large amount of space to stop. I then took my car to a local auto parts store to read the codes but they were unable to read them because it was not an engine code. On my way back to the house, all lights disappeared and the local Toyota shop said it would be difficult to do a diagnostic without any lights. I am extremely thankful my kids and the kids walking across the cross walk at the four way stop were not injured!.

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

When driving downhill with foot depressed on brake the vehicle was trying to accelerate, abs light game on and brake light simultaneously , speedometer stopped working, tach went crazy and car began to idle roughly and try to surge forward with foot on brakes.

My 2007 Toyota Camry xle lost control of steering, brakes and stability control. The car surged left, right, left the went off the road to the right. The brakes were applied but did not seem to have any function. Massive damage was caused to the body from hitting 2 trees. No airbag deployment.

Currently I am having a problem with my abs and brake light coming on and my module not reading my speed, temperature, or rpms correctly or at all some times. I spoke with a technician that I have gotten work done with before and he told me that he had another customer with the same year same model call in and their car was having the same problem. While the people at my insurance company told me that it may have to do with the age of the vehicle and dismissed my claim. He told me that the only way they would know is if they could diagnose the vehicle again. But the replacement parts are expensive and I'm starting to think it may be a problem with the manufacturer.

I was driving about 30 miles an hour and approaching a stop sign and suddenly, all dashboard lights come on, the brakes stopped functioning. I lost control of the car briefly but was able to regain it and was eventually able to bring it to a stop.

Over the last few months, frequently my 2007 Camry dashboard displays erroneous information - tach, speedometer and temperature gage read zero and brake and abs lights go on. Clearly these are safety issues. Also, the air conditioner goes off and the air coming out of the ducts goes to full hot. Dealership indicates they have never heard of the problem before and therefore doesn't know how to fix it. I see many similar complaints on the web and noticed that the Camry hybrid has a recall for something that looks similar to this safety issue.

Our 2007 Toyota Camry all of a sudden started having what appears to be electrical issues. Brake and abs lights come on while the tachometer and speedometer bounce up and down uncontrollably and the ac cuts in and out while this is happening. It will correct itself for a few minutes and then start acting up again. I am reading many other similar complaints online and feel Toyota should definitely do something to correct this issue.

My 2007 Toyota Camry all of a sudden started having what appears to be electrical issues. Brake and abs lights come on while the tachometer bounce up and down uncontrollably and the speedometer reads at 0 when in fact im on the freeway driving at I believe 55-60mph. The gear lights on dashboard turn off. It has been almost been a month now and the car feels like its going to stall then it will correct itself for a few minutes and then start acting up again.

Abs and brake light came on while driving also my speedometer needle does not move, and rpm gauge starts fluctuating. This occurs intermittently. I took it to the Toyota dealer they told me I have to replace the brake actuator assembly (skid control ecu) a total cost of $3,453 to fix. :( my car has only 67,750 miles. I do know the 2007 Camry hybrid is having the same problem and those are being recalled.

I actually just bought a used 2007 hybrid Camry last Monday. There were no indicators on the dash and it looked great. 2 days later the check vsc system and abs lights come on the dash. I took to the dealer immediately and the problem is the same as everyone else here, failure in brake accumulator. The technician was very adamant about me parking the car immediately until repairs are completed. He said the brakes can go out at any time, vehicle is unsafe to drive. The repairs are going cost over $1500.
