2007 model year Toyota camrys were manufactured using a dashboard material that deteriorates with exposure to sunlight. Specifically, the plastic becomes very shiny, very tacky, and easy to damage. When the sun angle is correct, the light reflects off the shiny plastic, and then reflects off the windshield into the driver's eyes, producing a glare that represents, in my opinion, a safety hazard. A considerable amount of plasticizer is also being deposited daily on the windshield inner surface, producing a whitish haze that reduces visibility and increases scattered light. Numerous Toyota camry (and some Lexus) owners are reporting the same problem, primarily in locations that receive more sunlight (florida, texas, puerto rico, and hawaii, for example, as an internet search can easily show; to see a video, search on youtube for "Toyota camry sticky dashboard"). Some 2008 model year Toyota camrys are beginning to show the same problem. Note that 2007 was the first year of the redesigned camry model. Much older camrys are not showing this problem, thus it seems clear that Toyota switched to a different dashboard material starting with the 2007 model year, but only now is it becoming clear that the chosen material is inappropriate for the intended use. Toyota has known about this problem for months, yet no safety recall has been issued as of this writing.
Minutes after leaving home while traveling 10mph in the neighborhood, all of the warning lights on the dash illuminated - brake, vsc, tire, etc. The car lost acceleration, the steering became "gummy", and the brakes became "mushy". It took constant, complete depression of the brake pedal to stop the car over a length of about 25 feet. I took the car to 355 Toyota in rockville, MD where it was hooked to a computer, but no problem was detected. The problem occurred a second and third time, once minutes after startup and once while traveling at 30 mph not far from my destination, thankfully. After parking the car for 2 hours, the car drove normally. The fourth time this problem occurred, I had just left the capital beltway and was in the process of braking in order to safely round a cloverleaf onto river road. The brakes were barely responsive, and I narrowly missed crashing into the cars in front of me. I took the car back to 355 Toyota on December 27. The car was kept for 24 hours. The mechanics could find nothing wrong with it. I was told this was the very first time a problem such as mine has been reported to 355 Toyota. A google query proved that this problem is more pervasive than the dealership knows or is willing to admit knowing.
I own a 2008 Toyota camry hybrod. For the second time the drivers side visor has broken and flops down into my field of view. Both visors previously broke and were replaced under warranty but now the car is out of warranty. These visors are defective from the factory and it will cost $130 for the visor with extra costs for labor to install it. Driving my car is dangerous now with the visor hanging down in the way. Toyota needs to recall the defective visors and replace them before someone gets hurt.
I have a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The driver's side sun visor broke on my wife while she was driving creating a very dangerous situation. Fortunately she was able to tie the sun visor up as not to obstruct her view. I plan on going to the dealership tomorrow to address this issue. The car is at 60,000 miles.
The driver's side sun visor of my 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid suddenly broke causing it to swing down and completely block my vision. Attempts to swing the visor out of the way failed as the visor is completely loose and swings wildly when turning. I have tried using tape to secure the visor in the up position, but eventually the tape fails. Additionaly there are no directions or easily detectable wat to remove the visor. After calling Toyota I was informed it would cost $308. 70 to replace a part that should never have failed (especially with only 4 years of use). I have read online that this seems to be an issue that numerous Toyota owners are having and wanted to document my troubles.
We own a 2007 cambry hybrid. About noon central time today, my wife was attempting to park the car at a local gym. As she slowly turned into the parking position, the engine raced very fast and the car lurched forward past the endline of the parking position and stopped after jumping over the cement barrier. She described stepping on the brake and the car did stop but unfortunately not until it had gone well past the endline for the parking position.
Hello, I have a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The drivers side sun visor will flop down unexpectedly causing a visibility issue. The dealer wants $120 to replace. Toyota says it is not common and no recall is needed. I have read numerous complaints on various forums and think a safety issue is present.
At 12:55 p. M. I was pulling forward in to a parking space where there was a curb and a tree on the right side over the curb, in tartan park in bloomington minnesota. My Toyota camry 2008 had the gas peddle stick and I went over the curb and slammed into the tree and threw me back. People told me at the park that this was one of the cars that had been recalled for this problem, I was never notified. I could have run right in to the children playing if it wasn't for the tree.
2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid: a rock passed through a manufactured hole in the grill, hit the radiator and put a hole in the radiator causing a hybrid system failure. Toyota asserts that this was a occurrence that had nothing to do with any design flaw, given that no other reports to this effect have been received. The radiator had to be replaced at a cost of $600. Fortunately, we were just minutes away from a Toyota dealership and were able to drive it over. We have ownership of the damaged radiator.
