A couple of months ago, I noticed a musty smell coming from my car. I realized that it may be due to the heating/cooling vents, and a quick search revealed that this problem was part of a class action lawsuit on behalf of Toyota Camry drivers. I fear my vehicle has the same faulty system. I replaced the cabin air filter and sprayed ozium cleaner into the intake, but this only solved the problem for a few days.

Toyota dealer also stated I was able to drive the car and there would be no problems. After spending money for repairs within 24 hours the problem began again. Now this time not only when you were in park would the lights come on the began coming on while I was driving.

I have a 2007 Toyota solara with a v-6 engine. At 79000 miles the water pump failed catastrophically and took out the timing belt, which caused the car to quit in the middle of traffic.

I own a 2005 Toyota Camry and since I bought it from the dealer it had been having problems with the automatic transmission system and the accelerator . For example when I stop at a traffic light and I begin to accelerate the car takes to long to shift to the next gear and while this time elapses for about 2 to 4 seconds the car keeps accelerating with no gear at all, this almost make me crash the other day trying to avoid a collision with an aggressive driver that got in my way and I could not advance with the car at that crucial moment and get out of the way of the situation since the gear was not ready for me to accelerate and advance . Another problem that I have been noticing is that while at low to medium speeds the abs braking system fails to brake the car after it gets over a bump in the road; several times it had happened to me that after I get a bump I have to apply the brakes 2 to 3 times in a rapid succession to come to a complete stop. Also sometimes while driving at low speeds with low rpms the car stalls without warning and the wheel gets very hard to maneuver ,I even have to stop the car in the middle of the road to start the engine again and continue with my trip. All this complaint was given to Toyota in priors calls I made to them but the dealers they send me to see said that was normal operation of the car ,that there was nothing wrong.

To whom it may concern: we purchased a 2002 Toyota Camry from arlington Toyota, jacksonville, florida- new in December 2001. We have always owned Toyotas with no problems. Presently the car has 64,000 miles. On June 26 the check engine light came on for about an hour and then went off, after that the a/c stopped working. We took the car into coggin Toyota at the avenues on June 28 and were given a bill of $1154 with an explanation that the entire a/c condenser assembly, air flow sensor and air fuel sensor needed replacement. Obviously we had to pay for this and have it done as we're going out of town and have a child who rides in this car regularly, but this is beyond ridiculous. For this age of a car, and supposedly being the most reliable and highly rated car for that year this should not have happened. This car has not been in any bad accidents and is not driven excessively. All routine maintenance is performed on a regular basis. This is clearly a defect on Toyota's part and needs to be compensated for. We should not have had to pay this much for a repair on this type of car, whether or not the warranty is expired. I expected much more from Toyota than we have presently experienced and am very disappointed and frustrated. We had planned to purchase a new sienna within the next few years but now will look else where. ************ kristi b. Gabriel, lmt, ba, mba healing waters therapy.

Toyota Camry engine failure on 12/21/07 1999 Toyota Camry le December 31, 2007 dear sir, on December 21, 2007 at 11:30am pt, my wife kim ly nguyen drove our 1999 Toyota Camry le on the 405 south freeway. As she was about to pass the bristol st. Exit in costa mesa, my wife suddenly heard an unusual noisy sound and detected the strong scent of oil and gasoline leaking from the engine. Immediately, my wife maneuvered our car to the right-hand shoulder of the freeway. Once my wife pulled over to the side of the road, the car engine suddenly experienced complete failure and would not re-start. Our car was towed by 21st century insurance to accu auto service (23253 madero #a-104, mission viejo, CA 92691) for repair. Since we are heavily dependent on our car to commute to work every day, it was crucial that we received immediate service on our car. After a diagnostic exam, accu auto service determined that the engine experienced sudden and total failure (please see attached pictures) and was completely replaced and serviced. Since we bought our Toyota Camry le on 4/10/99, it is still under warranty through the ?gold seal mechanical breakdown services contract limited, and we are hoping that you can help us with a reimbursement of our repair costs. Due to the dependency on our car for survival, we had to authorize an immediate repair. Through the life of our Toyota Camry le, we have maintained a good maintenance schedule and upkeep, which can be verified through lew webb's irvine Toyota, inc. (30 auto center dr. , irvine, CA 92618) at 949-768-0688 or accu auto services at 949-859-9637. We hope that you understand our situation and are able to honor our warranty by granting us a reimbursement for the repair of the defective car engine. Thank you for your help and time. Sincerely, liem ngo & kim ly nguyen.

2002 Toyota Camry, stalls as coming to a stop or slowing down for traffic, turning or someone pulling in front of me in traffic. Car will not start for 20 minutes. When trying to start car before 20 minutes it turns over but not start or has a hard time starting and sputters till I can pull over off the street and stalls in a parking lot. When I wait the full 20 plus minutes the car starts as if never had a problem. By the time I get to the dealer or another repair shop they can not find anything wrong or say it has to do with the emissions control and they do not guarantee that may be that problem & I may have to bring the car back in & I will not be refunded my money & will have to pay more out of the pocket. This has been going on for 2 years. It is worse in the heat & humidity (happens more often).

Camry 2007 se v6. Acceleration problems, hesitates at take off, transmission slips like its searching for a gear, smell from a/c.

After 4985 miles, the "check engine" light activated. There was a smell of burning electrical wires. Dealer/service originally diagnosed the problem as a failure of the "variable valve timing actuator," but later re-diagnosed the problem as a failure of the wiring harness. The car was returned 11/30/06. After 20 minutes of driving, the "check engine" light reactivated. I returned the car immediately. On 12/01/06, the dealer/service diagnosed the problem and said a "vacuum tube" disconnected. I picked up car on 12/01/06. After a couple hours of driving, the "p" for park light illuminated while I was in drive. (the "p" and "d" indicators were both illuminated as I was driving. Also, the door locks on all doors engaged and disengaged uncontrollably and continuously. I was not able to manually lock or unlock my car doors using the "lock/unlock" switch on the drive-side door since it was deactivated as a result of the malfunction. I took the car back to the dealer/service on 12/02/06 for this problem. Dealer/service diagnoses the problem as a electrical short due to a coolant leak.

I bought a brand new Toyota Camry xle in may 2003. About 1 1/2 years after purchasing it, I began to hear a sloshing sound under the dash board. The producing of the sound wasn't consistent because some days it wasn't present at all. When the sound first started it was very faint and the passenger could not hear it even when I pointed it out. I checked for leaks but I could not find any. Today, the sound is a lot more noticable; however, it still does not presnet itself everyday. I tried to observe if it only happens when it is cold out side or hot, but the sound is not consistent. When the sound is present, I would have to turn my music up a little to ignore it. My car's performance does not seem to be hampered by this sloshing or splashing noise so I thought my fluids weres just circulating. But it has become quite embarassing and annoying having to deal with it. I read another consumer had the same problem and Toyota could not resolve the issue so they bought their car back. I am now inquiring to Toyota about the issue, but I wished I had when my car was still under warranty and the problem first arised at the 20,000 mile mark.

Without warning engine died at night while driving on a dual lane highway. Pulled over to the side of the highway before car momentum died. Would not restart and the "engine check" light was lit. Car was towed to a service repair station that evening. Service station found the water pump failed resulting in the timing belt failure. Belt and water pump replaced, timing reset, but failed to start. Investigation revealed timing had slipped and cause was the crankshaft pulley key had sheared. That was replaced, timed again, and engine was back to normal. Oldmobile parts not availiable.

While driving on interstate hwy water pump failed causing timing belt and idler to also fail and damage to oil pump.

Additional info to odi number 765034 - shop mentioned that the water pump damaged caused scrapping on the engine block. Since the engine block is made of an aluminum base his concern was that the marks might cause a crack to occur. He said no leaking was seen at this time but I want to put on record that damage was made to the engine that might cause problems in the furture. This scraping was due to the water pump failure that was noted in the odi number 765034 questionnaire. This info was also mentioned to Toyota in a certified letter but I have not received any response yet from Toyota.
