general problems of the 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid

My car has all of the light on dashboard is on and on screen it says "check vsc system".

The brake light, traction control and abs lights turned on, and check vsc system displayed. Vehicle has been maintained correctly. I was on the hwy going 65 mph, in my 2007 Camry Hybrid when this happened, totally lost power, I was able to pill over to the side road call for help. This is a ridiculous situation for an automobile. I feel like the public is being used like test dummies by Toyota.

As I was traveling on i75 north of atlanta, I needed to slow for traffic congestion. I applied the brakes, but they didn't seem to work. Several lights on the dash came on including the check hybrid engine, the check vsc system, and the abs lights. The power brakes were off and it became difficult to stop. Then the vehicle's engine stopped completely requiring me to maneuver out of heavy traffic to the shoulder of the road. I turned on my hazard lights, but was almost hit by several vehicles as I got to the shoulder.

Hybrid battery pack goes bad after 150000 miles and need to be replace, car shuts of by it self in the highway. When cara is running is agita off in the middle of the road.

Engines oil being consumed at an accelerated and driver and passenger sun visors loose which hinders drivers view while driving because they flop downwards and do not stay at a recommended angle to block sun during use.

Was driving, and hybrid system check light came on. . . Continued driving slowly then car lost a bit of power. . Like parking break was on and vcs failure light came on. Drove home after with hybrid system check still on.

When shifted into reverse while car not on or when car on but key not detected or during delay between key detection car will roll backwards but will not allow driver to drive forward.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. While the vehicle was stopped at a stop sign, the check hybrid and vcs warning indicators illuminated. The accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle jerked. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer nor diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 113,000.

On 20 March 2015, while starting the car, a warning indicator showed up on my instrument panel. The indicator stated ( check hybrid system. . . . . Vsc system ). I parked the car for the day. Day 2, I took the car to a auto shop and had a basic scan that reads abs codes performed on the car. The basic scan reveled to "replace battery pack". Two mechanics informed me while performing the scan, a burning odor was observed from the car. I drove the car home and parked it. I lastly observed the only information displayed from the instrument panel was " check hybrid system". The only lights on were the warning light and the engine light.

Vehicle serviced 3/10/10 under Toyota 90l recall campaign. Dealership stated all systems functional upon completion. On 5/21/14, in safe road conditions and parking lot speeds <10 mph, driver applied brakes to vehicle in order to pull into parking spot. During braking, vehicle did not slow or stop, but accelerated at a high rate of speed, striking a parking berm and 3 other vehicles. Police report made; driver not cited but was advised to contact Toyota re brake failure and acceleration. Toyota was contacted; inspection was made by bosch engineering. Toyota contends the incident is not a result of any manufacturing defect. Toyota provided a technical report containing engineering data without layman's explanation or proof of its contention. Toyota was found by the doj to have misled consumers and the govt regarding severity and "resolution: of this issue. On 8/21/14 and 8/22/14 driver was contacted by Toyota with a second and separate recall notice #e0u, affecting the vehicle's brake reservoirs, in which clogging and/or low fluid levels "could cause additional warning lamps[. . . ]to illuminate and front brake assist could be temporarily lost. " the warning lamp in question did illuminate during the 5/21 incident. Legal counsel for driver has advised an independent review of the bosch report and inspection of the brake reservoir; however, the vehicle was totaled and sold at auction by the insurance company's salvage agent. I have initiated an independent review of the bosch report at my own expense. In light of Toyota's misleading conduct regarding recall campaign 90l and the subsequent recall #e0u, driver contends that Toyota is at fault for the events of 5/21/14.

First of all: I bought 2007 camry certifed used Aug. 2011; 70,000 miles (approx. ) at Toyota dealer. Car has been serviced only by this dealer at 5,000 miles. Oil is 5w20 (not syntehtic). 8/26/13 took car in for nys inspection & routine service (car was early for servicing, didn't want to take it 2x). I was told engine needed 2 qts. Oil; had gone only 4,000 miles since last oil change; that I would need to check oil at least every 1,000 mi; or have them start the test process; I was told this is a normal problem-Toyota builds cars for epa standards. I just read Toyota nation posts; I find this is not normal; Toyota has issues with i4 engines; many folks have had same problem & no resolve from Toyota. I too have never had to check or add oil in between regular servicing; I have owned cars for 40 yrs. ; this my 1st Toyota. I was always gm. I want my problem noted. Thank you.

Car was parked. Turned on ignition and saw multiple waening lights. Drove to dealer for repairs and was told brake actuator assembly needs to exchanged.

Yesterday,Jan. 16, 2010, I was driving my camry and noticed the odor of oil through my a/c. It was raining so the street surfaces were wet, and I noticed that I was slipping as I accelerated from stops and making simple turns at normal wet-driving speeds, and three times this almost caused an accident. As I neared my home, the oil pressure light came on for just a moment and went off again. This happened once more a moment before I pulled into my driveway. I parked the vehicle, turned it off, and went inside for a moment to get a flashlight. When I came back outside, there was an oil sheen on the wet driveway spreading out from beneath my camry. I opened the hood and found oil spatter all over the passenger-side of the engine bay. I checked the dipstick only to find that the oil pan was dry. I closed the hood and waited until today to look into the issue further, as the rain had stopped. I filled the motor with oil and there were no drips visible, so I jacked up the car and checked the oil pan nut and filter housing and they were tight, so I started the vehicle. At that time, a rubber hose located on the left side of the engine began spitting oil out of what appeared to be a pin-hole in the hose. I turned off the car quickly, pushed it back into its parking spot and cleaned up a bit, knowing that I'd have to have it towed for service. A search of the internet for this problem finds a great deal of forum discussion, and that the Toyota avalon using this same engine and part in 2005 had the same problems, leading to a service bulletin. I feel that the inherent danger that this poor engineering poses should be addressed for all camry owners to prevent the potential accidents that could occur should this happen on the highway instead of normal low-speed surface streets.

My 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid ceased functioning (lost all pwer) with 13,300 miles on it. A warning light came on saying check hybrid system, followed by a warning saying check engine, followed by an exclamation point. I was 200 miles from home when this happened. The Toyota dealership to which it was towed could find no problem. I have looked on-line and found other people with the same vehicle who had the same problem, and their dealerships were not able to figure out what was wrong with those vehicles. One gentleman was on the freeway between two trucks when his Camry Hybrid lost all power. I am very hesitant to drive the car now.

I was stopped at a stop light when my Camry Hybrid suddenly stopped running and my radio, air conditioning stopped,the dash board showed several errors, a battery problem, a triangle with a ! mark, a brake sign, "move gear to park and restart your car" all which were obvious signs that something had gone wrong. My car started and I called Toyota to report it and made an appointment and drove to their site on eubank, karl malone. They inspected it and told me nothing showed in the technical maintenance report which made me so angry. I saw the information on the prius reporting the same problem I experienced stopping engine while driving my car.
