A few weeks ago my instrument panel gauges randomly started to stop and start. When the mph stops the brake and abs lights come on. Also, within a few days my air conditioner would no blow cold air when this happened. I took my car in to my mechanic, but he couldn't find the issue and told me to take it to the dealership. In the meantime, I did my online research and found that a lot of 2007 Toyota owners have experienced this same issue. Well, today was my turn to feel the frustration. I took my car to Groove Toyota in Englewood, CO. I told the service rep my issue and tried to explain my research. Of course, he had no idea what I was referring to. 4 1/2 hrs later, I had to call him to find out what they'd learned from checking out my vehicle. Well apparently their mechanic had to talk to Toyota, who was aware of an issue like this, and they had been exchanging calls to discuss the problem. Unfortunately, the problem was going to cost me 3000 in parts for my abs system as a part/component was bad and it was causing the dash lights and gauge malfunction. It was also going to take 2 days to get the parts, and who knows how much for labor. I declined their fix. Why? Well, I'm a woman and feel we get taken advantage of in these situations. This was by far the highest quote so far I'd seen to 'fix' this problem, and I'd read a lot of what you all wrote. The other reason... a co-worker and fellow Toyota owner took her car to the same dealership and was quoted a high price to have her car fixed. SHE also declined. Her husband made a few calls, and found somewhere else a whole lot cheaper. Shame on you, Groove Toyota!

The problem started with the fairly new battery going out. The dealership in Mesa AZ replaced the alternator and cleaned the fuel intake. The car was brought back because the battery kept dying. The said the battery was bad. We replaced the battery and still was not charging. The third time we brought it in the did a quick fix and the battery started to charge. After several months the dash started to work intermittently. Now it happens very often and my daughter that usually drives the car gets scared that the car will blow up. I don't know what to do. This should be a recall because it is dangerous.

Thanks

I was driving my car and all of a sudden the gauges were dancing and I really got scared. I had to stop, called a couple of friends and told them what just happened. They couldn't believe what I told them! When I reached home, I immediately searched for some answers online and I discovered that there were already a lot of 2007 Camry owners who are experiencing and complaining about the same thing. I just hope Toyota will look at this situation very seriously.

They should recall these cars. We owners should not spend a lot of money fixing this. This is clearly a defect in the electrical/connection system of the car. We should not spend money to fix something that seems like of poor quality, whether that be wiring, parts or design.

Intermittently, while slowly braking for a stop light or car ahead my electrical system will suddenly freak out - Check VSC System Error, ABS light, Maintanence light, all suddenly come on and my navigation/radio sudden starts flashing between day/night mode (black versus white screen), the nav will sometimes then reboot or shut down completely. On the first occasion, it happened twice at two separate stop lights.

About a month later, it happened again in rush hour traffic. Each time when I release the brake and accelerate, the problem stops; the errors and lights go out, the nav resets to normal, and it's fine...until I slowly brake and it would do it again. This lasted about 20 minutes. The car drove fine. Engine sounded fine. Just electrical issues. I drove to the grocery store, was inside for 20 minutes, and when I tried to leave the battery was dead. We pulled the battery, took it to Auto Zone who charged and tested it; it tested fine. We dropped the battery back into the car, it started right up, and took it directly to the dealership. It purred like a kitten the whole way there. The dealership looked at it, battery, alternator, starter all checked out good. They had no explanation for the dead battery or nav issues. They reset the computer hoping it was a glitch.

The car ran fine for two and a half weeks until this morning as I was pulling into my apartment parking lot driving slowly with my foot on the brake, the error lights came on, nav freaked out and completely shut down. I parked and noticed my dome lights were dim and knew my bat was dying. When I tried to leave, the car wouldn't start. Battery dead. Got out the jumper cables, hooked them up, car started right up. Drove to the dealership with no other issues.

They just called me to say that it's two separate issues, the alternator and navigation both need to be replaced. I told them it's not, gave them this website info, told them about the ABS issues, and to keep looking for an explanation that makes sense. Will post more later..

In July, 2013, suddenly, my ABS and BRAKE lights came on on my dash. My speedometer, RPM. oil and tachometer gauges all started to jump all over, my A/C, normally working fine started to blow warm air......car also seemed to shake from underneath (the engine). Since then, I have taken car into dealership only to find out it needs 800.00 worth of work that should be considered a recall as over 1025 other of the same issues have been complained about online by other 2007 CAMRY owners, but the Manufacturer in CA will do nothing. (have called there twice, once before and once after having it diagnosed.) Told them about the other complaints of other owners to which I was told they don't check the computer for complaints, and no, there are no recalls for this problem. Was told it's rare for that part, the Combination Meter to have to be replaced. Since I've had this problem, I have talked to my sister and brother-in-law whom have had 3 Camry's, and all three have had problems with their ABS and Brake lights coming on. Apparently, however, they never had the electrical problems I have. Another person I met had a Corolla and she told me her ABS/brake lights also would come on intermittently as well. This has to be an ongoing problem with Toyota, and I cannot understand why they don't address it, instead of denying it. For me, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA as I feel I have a lemon for a car, and will not put the money into fixing it as, for one, I don't have the money, so have been dealing with this for almost a year, until I can finally get another car.

I was even told by the dealership, once I found out what the problem was, to call Toyota as they don't like unhappy customers, and that maybe they would even pay for half of it at least. What a joke! They will do nothing.

Bought the car and couldn't understand why dashboard would get bright and then strangely dim. Took the car in and they said it was normal!!! I finally got tired of taking it in--so the car's been a pain in the you know what as the lights go all over the place. Piece of crap car that cost a lot of money. Should have bought a Pinto or a Pacer from years ago--they are better than the mess the 2007 Camry is. Toyota should be ashamed of their shoddy workmanship and quality control. I think the car mechanics at Toyota get bonuses if they can screw over their customers. They can't ever seem to find what's wrong until the warranty expires!!! Toyota is not worth the price--go with any other brand and you will be more satisfied than I am right now.

I have a 2007 Toyota camry le with 78,000 miles. One day while driving all my dashboard gauges went crazy. Abs, brake lights came on. Speed, rmps went crazy. Temp gauge went down. Car ran fine, lasted a couple of minutes. This happened a couple of more times. I googled it and found numerous people with the same problem. Turned out Toyota's abs system which is bosch system has a problem. I took it into Toyota and they proceeded to change out the alternator and the battery at a cost of $100. I had told them what I found on the internet about the problem. They totally ignored me. I picked up the car the next day and didn't get out of there lot when the same thing happened with the dash gauges. Also ac stopped working. Car back at dealership being worked on. I think Toyota knows there is a problem with their abs system, but because of how expensive the part is to replace will not recall these vehicles.

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry, it has about 150,000 miles on it. Bought it used, in great condition. Then all of a sudden, the dashboard panel gauges started started to fluctuate sporadically. The speedometer and odometer bounce up and down, or just stop working all together. At the same time the air conditioner and defroster stops working, the brake and ABS lights come on....then everything goes back to normal for about five minutes. I took it to the Toyota Dealer, and they said they thought it was a "module", but couldn't tell which one it was. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? The dealer doesn't know which modules control what? Charged me $200.00 to tell me that they could start replacing them until they figured out which one it was....to the tune of up $7,200.00. Texas heat will make you mad anyway, but throw in no air conditioning...well, you get the point.
